Sinopsis

THE maintenance of an industry for two hundred years by one family, in the direct line of succession and in one locality, is almost unique in the history of western manufactures. Such a record proves that the successive generations have displayed diligence, prudence, and enterprise; otherwise it would not have been possible for them to have held continuously a foremost place in the face of incessant competition consequent upon the general advance in science, the introduction of superior constructional materials, and the invention of new machinery. It indicates also the maintenance of a high standard of workmanship as well as integrity and business capacity; because time is the most important factor in proving efficiency and in establishing credit for durability of work, without which no reputation can be retained for such a long period.

    Want to start your own bonsai garden?  
    Like me, maybe you're wondering how a tiny tree so perfectly replicates a wild tree growing in nature? 
    How can someone take such meticulous care of a living being that—due to its size—must be so delicate and sensitive? 
    Or how can a living tree survive in such a shallow pot? 
    Also, perhaps you're drawn to bonsai trees for their aesthetics, or to create a living legacy to pass down to the next generation, or even to broaden an existing horticultural skillset. 
    My intention with writing this book is to save you from going down the Google rabbit hole. With this book, you can go from a complete beginner to a knowledgeable bonsai grower in an easy-to-understand and logical order of steps. 
    All you need to do is follow this book from chapter to chapter as presented to you. This includes all the facts, info, procedures, and how-to’s that you need to cultivate your first bonsai tree and beyond! Most importantly, by following the advice in this book, you can sidestep the most common disappointments that most beginner bonsai growers face—killing their first tree (or, more often, their first, second, and third trees!). 
    This book covers every aspect; from the benefits of growing bonsai and its cultural and historical significance to the various types of bonsai trees, how to get started, where to obtain your first trees, the tools, and equipment that you'll need (as well as how much you should expect to pay). 
    Plus, you’ll learn all the practical skills you'll need to prevent your bonsai from dying, including planting, soiling, fertilizing, watering, styling, shaping, and pruning, repotting, and creating deadwood.

    Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster.
    
    At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.
