Sinopse

Poisonous Trees explores the often-overlooked dangers lurking in our environment, revealing the toxic properties of various tree species. It delves into the intersection of nature, biology, and life sciences to highlight the risks these trees pose to humans, animals, and the environment. The book details how seemingly harmless trees can contain potent toxins like glycosides and alkaloids, which can disrupt biological processes, leading to a range of health issues. Readers will discover how human activities have influenced the distribution of these trees and increased the likelihood of accidental poisoning, while also exploring historical uses of these plants by traditional societies. The book adopts a fact-based, scientific approach, progressing from an introduction of key terms and concepts to specific examples of poisonous trees from around the globe. It also provides guidance on diagnosis, treatment, and preventative measures. Drawing from scientific literature, clinical case studies, and traditional ecological knowledge, Poisonous Trees offers a comprehensive resource for identifying and understanding the dangers, empowering readers to make informed decisions about tree selection, landscape management, and personal safety.

    In this collection of razor-sharp essays, Lena Ashwood takes aim at the sacred cows of contemporary society, from the cult of self-improvement to the performative nature of social media.

Ashwood doesn't just point out what's wrong with society; she invites readers to question their own complicity in perpetuating harmful norms and expectations. This isn't a book that will coddle you with easy solutions. Instead, it's a call to embrace the messiness of life and find authenticity in a world that often demands conformity. 
    'The Things I Shouldn't Say Out Loud' isn't just a book; it's a permission slip to be your authentic self in a world that often demands conformity.

    A comic masterpiece of medieval French literature, Aucassin and Nicolette is categorized by its anonymous author as a "chantefable," or "song-story," and is the only known work of this kind. This edition includes the thirteenth-century French text and a modern English translation on facing pages. An introduction outlines the text's background, genre, literary relations, historical contexts, major themes, and relevance to a contemporary audience. Its alternating sections of verse and prose recount a story of love between the aristocratic but distinctly unheroic young lord Aucassin and his beloved Nicolette.
