Summary

"Thickest Trunks" explores the fascinating world of trees with exceptionally wide trunks, delving into their biology, ecology, and crucial role in our environment. These arboreal giants, like the General Sherman Tree, are more than just impressive; they are vital for carbon sequestration, water cycling, and maintaining biodiversity. The book investigates how these trees efficiently store water and nutrients, acting as living reservoirs.

 
The book examines the biological mechanisms behind massive trunk growth, including cambial growth and genetic factors. It also highlights the environmental conditions, such as rainfall and soil, that either promote or hinder this growth.

 
Progressing systematically, "Thickest Trunks" initially establishes the principles of tree biology and then showcases trees from various regions. It synthesizes key factors that contribute to thick trunks and discusses conservation strategies.

 
By understanding the secrets of these botanical wonders, we can gain valuable insights into forest management and conservation. The book presents evidence from botanical research, dendrochronology, and ecological surveys, making it valuable for anyone interested in nature, biology, and environmental science.

A unique journey into the Arctic world, its myths and changes 
Finland’s leading expert on Arctic affairs, Markku Heikkilä shares insights from 25 years of travel, from the northern parts of Canada to the Ob River and from Iceland to Alaska. 
During his journeys, Heikkilä shatters myths and preconceptions about life in the Arctic. He highlights stories that few people know, such as the Last War of the Khanty People, Alaskan Sámi reindeer and the ballerina in Svalbard. 
The book dives into landscapes and lives, some of which we are about to lose. It’s about more than our changing climate; the Arctic was once a shared space among different peoples, until the region was swept in a storm of global politics. 
”A breathtaking book. It delves deep into the northern world in a smooth and profound way.” – Kulttuuritoimitus online magazine 
”Markku Heikkilä has compiled his extensive knowledge and a quarter of a century of travel in eight Arctic countries.” – Kaleva newspaper

A compendium of traditional midwestern cookies “along with the poignant and heartwarming stories behind each recipe” (Mary Bilyeu, Toledo Blade).  The Belt Cookie Table Cookbook celebrates the tradition of the cookie table with forty-one classic recipes from authentic Mahoning Valley cookie tables and cooks. What’s a cookie table? Funny you should ask! The cookie table is a tradition beloved by residents of Youngstown, Pittsburgh, and parts in between. It has its roots in a time when wedding cakes were far too dear for newly arrived immigrants to purchase. Instead, family and friends showed their love for a bride and groom by baking from scratch hundreds (sometimes thousands) of cookies and other small sweet treats to be shared at the reception. The Belt Cookie Table Cookbook is an international baking guide, including cookies from different cultures, cookies with different textures, spices, shapes, and backstories. Simple cookies, ridiculously indulgent cookies, experimental cookies―they’re all here. And most of all it shares the tradition of the cookie table, a heartfelt way of building community that has endured through generations.   In the tradition of the community cookbook, The Belt Cookie Table Cookbook is a must for any kitchen large or small, and a great gift for bakers and home cooks.
