Beschreibung

'Origin of Iris' presents a captivating exploration of one of history's most influential flowers, weaving together evolutionary science, cultural significance, and horticultural practices. This comprehensive work traces the remarkable journey of iris flowers from their prehistoric origins in Central Asia to their global cultivation today, revealing how these hardy perennials have shaped human civilization across millennia through art, mythology, and garden design.

 
The book masterfully connects three primary narratives: the evolutionary development of iris species, their profound cultural impact across different civilizations, and their enduring symbolic significance throughout history. From ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs to the iconic fleur-de-lis in French heraldry, readers discover how irises have maintained their prominence in human society. Fascinating insights include the flower's namesake connection to the Greek goddess of the rainbow and its important role along the Silk Road, where it influenced both trade and cultural exchange.

 
Progressing chronologically from fossil records to modern cultivation practices, the book combines archaeological evidence, ancient texts, and cutting-edge DNA analysis to tell its story. The author's accessible scholarly approach makes complex botanical concepts understandable while maintaining scientific accuracy. Whether exploring the iris's presence in Persian carpets or its significance in Japanese art, the work offers valuable insights for audiences ranging from casual gardeners to serious botanists, providing both historical context and practical cultivation guidance through detailed appendices.

    Blight - Fungi and the Coming...

    Fungi are everywhere. Most are harmless; some are helpful. A few are killers. Collectively, infectious fungi are the most devastating agents of disease on earth, and a fungus that can persist in the environment without its host is here to stay. In Blight, Emily Monosson documents how trade, travel, and a changing climate are making us all more vulnerable to invasion. Populations of bats, frogs, and salamanders face extinction. In the Northwest, America's beloved national parks are covered with the spindly corpses of whitebark pines. Food crops are under siege, threatening our coffee, bananas, and wheat—and, more broadly, our global food security. Candida auris, drug-resistant and resilient, infects hospital patients and those with weakened immune systems. Coccidioides, which lives in drier dusty regions, may cause infection in apparently healthy people. 
     
     
     
    Yet prevention is not impossible. Tracing the history of fungal spread and the most recent discoveries in the field, Monosson meets scientists who are working tirelessly to protect species under threat, and whose innovative approaches to fungal invasion have the potential to save human lives. Blight serves as a wake-up call, a reminder of the delicate interconnectedness of the natural world, and a lesson in seeing life on our planet with renewed humility and awe.

    Inside each rockpool, tucked into one of the infinite crevices of the tidal coastline, lies a rippling, silent, unknowable universe. Below the stillness of the surface course different currents of endless motion—the ebb and flow of the tide, the steady forward propulsion of the passage of time, and the tiny lifetimes of its creatures, all of which coalesce into the grand narrative of evolution. 
     
     
     
    In Life Between the Tides, Adam Nicolson investigates one of the most revelatory habitats on earth. Under his microscope, we see a prawn's head become a medieval helmet and a group of "winkles" transform a Dickensian social scene, with mollusks munching on Stilton and glancing at their pocket watches. Or, rather, is a winkle more like Achilles, an ancient hero, throwing himself toward death for the sake of glory? For Nicolson, the world of the rockpools is infinite and as intricate as our own. 
     
     
     
    As Nicolson journeys between the tides, both in the pools he builds along the coast of Scotland and through the timeline of scientific discovery, he is accompanied by great thinkers. We meet Virginia Woolf and her Waves; a young T. S. Eliot peering into his own rockpool in Massachusetts. And, of course, scientists populate the pages; not only their discoveries, but also their doubts and errors, their moments of quiet observation and their realizations.
