Summary

Rare Trees explores the hidden crisis of tree species facing extinction, highlighting their vital role in maintaining global biodiversity and ecosystem health. Did you know that the loss of keystone trees can trigger a domino effect, destabilizing entire ecosystems? Or that human activities like deforestation and climate change are major drivers pushing these botanical treasures to the brink? This book examines the ecological niches these rare trees occupy, the pressures they face, and the conservation efforts aimed at saving them.

 
The book provides a historical perspective on habitat fragmentation and the decline of tree populations. Through case studies, it delves into specific rare tree species, their ecological roles, and existing conservation initiatives.

 
It progresses by first introducing the concept of rarity in trees, then examining individual species, and finally analyzing the implications of tree extinction, offering innovative strategies for future preservation.

The Knowledge Gene

Lynne Kelly

Over 500,000 years ago, a single gene mutated. It spread over time, becoming critical in the journey transforming our earliest ancestors into fully modern humans, capable of navigating the entire planet and beyond. Then just a few thousand years ago, humans gradually outsourced knowledge to writing, and we displaced art and music from the heart of learning. 
 
This is the extraordinary story of the discovery of a supergene that makes us uniquely human. Dr Lynne Kelly recounts how a widespread congenital disorder was the critical clue she and her collaborators needed to identify the gene that has long eluded researchers into human cognition. 
 
The knowledge gene supercharged our ability to learn and share knowledge with others, explaining the prodigious memories of Indigenous people the world over. The discovery of the knowledge gene unlocks many other puzzles too. It explains for the first time why humans are the only species to make art, offers new insights into the earliest music and storytelling, and into the cognitive strengths of neurodivergent people. 
 
The Knowledge Gene shows that we can all access the full power of our memories, without giving up any of the advantages of writing and technology. The implications for learning and creativity at any age are profound.

Euclid: The Life and Legacy of...

Charles River Editors

Of the many mathematical advances made by the Greeks, none rival those established by Euclid of Alexandria, who likely remains the most famous ancient mathematician despite the fact little is actually known about his life. He revolutionized geometry, mathematics, and astronomy in Alexandria, Egypt, around 300 BCE, yet left almost no clues about his life story. Historians know he was a trailblazing mathematician and dabbled in astronomy because he wrote many books on these topics, and a 13-book treatise of his has survived, along with four other books. Thus, it’s clear what Euclid learned and knew, but virtually nothing is known about how his life unfolded or what he was like as a person.  
	To this day for many students, geometry class was the first time discovering that mathematics is more than calculating numbers. Some may have expected to study shapes, sizes, positions, and the properties of space, but perhaps for the first time, a geometry class required proving why the calculations were true through rigorous, logical arguments using definitions, postulates, and theorems. For countless students, it is excruciating, while others find it fascinating. Either way, the person to thank (or blame) for that is Euclid.  
	Often called the “Father of Geometry,” Euclid’s influence is so pervasive that his book, The Elements, was the primary math manual for over 2,000 years. It was not a “textbook” in the modern sense, as it did not have problem sets, word problems, or diagrams for practice, but it was a foundational reference and logical guide that students had to read, memorize, and demonstrate. In both the Western and Islamic worlds, Euclid’s Elements was the standard geometry text for almost every educated person until the 19th century.
