  This stunning cultural and personal reclamation of Black history and Black botanical mastery offers up lessons from the natural world shared through the stories of long-lived trees. The histories of trees in America are also the histories of Black Americans. Pecan trees were domesticated by an enslaved African named Antoine; sycamore trees were both havens and signposts for people trying to escape enslavement; poplar trees are historically associated with lynching; and willow bark has offered the gift of medicine. These trees, and others, testify not only to the complexity of the Black American narrative but also to a heritage of Black botanical expertise that, like Native American traditions, predates the United States entirely. In When Trees Testify, award-winning plant biologist Beronda L. Montgomery explores the ways seven trees—as well as the cotton shrub—are intertwined with Black history and culture. She reveals how knowledge surrounding these trees has shaped America since the very beginning. As Montgomery shows, trees are material witnesses to the lives of enslaved Africans and their descendants. Combining the wisdom of science and history with stories from her own path to botany, Montgomery talks to majestic trees, and in this unique and compelling narrative, they answer.

  Forestry in Ireland has never been so contentious. Over the last century the area of Irish woodland has increased tenfold, mostly through the planting of imported conifer species; government policy is to plant more trees to supply industry and to tackle climate change, both urgent priorities. But there has been a backlash from farmers, local communities, environmentalists and EU regulators. The rate of planting has plummeted. And up to one-third of new plantations in Ireland are failed forests that should never have been planted in the first place. How did we end up in this peculiar situation?
  Island of Woods traces the history of Irish forests over the last 10,000 years. It explains why Ireland lost so much of its forest cover, before a burst of tree-planting over the last few decades. It examines the state of Irish forestry today and sketches a way forward for our woods that balances commercial, environmental and social goals – a vision of a different type of forestry that could transform the Irish landscape and re-establish a genuine tree culture in the country.
  This engaging examination of Irish woodlands relates historical events to present-day concerns and controversies, drawing out crucial themes that continue to shape the Irish landscape.

  Early Cosmological Thinkers -...

  This book consists of 2 titles, which are: 
  Heraclitus: Heraclitus of Ephesus, a pre-Socratic philosopher who lived in the 6th century BCE, remains one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of Western thought. Known for his cryptic sayings and profound insights into the nature of reality, Heraclitus' ideas have had a lasting influence on philosophy, science, and the arts. His philosophy, often centered around the concept of change, emphasized that everything in existence is in a constant state of flux. This view is encapsulated in one of his most famous quotes: "You cannot step into the same river twice." For Heraclitus, the essence of life and the universe lies in this unceasing transformation, where stability and change are not opposing forces but interconnected aspects of existence. 
  Pythagoras: As a philosopher and mathematician, Pythagoras is perhaps best known for the Pythagorean Theorem, a fundamental principle in geometry that has influenced the study of mathematics for over two millennia. However, his impact extends far beyond the confines of geometry. Pythagoras is often credited with transforming numbers from mere tools of calculation into a system that mirrors the structure and harmony of the universe. For him, numbers were not just abstract symbols but the very essence of reality, governing everything from the motions of the stars to the patterns in music. His belief in the mystical and metaphysical significance of numbers laid the groundwork for later developments in philosophy, particularly the idea that the world is not a chaotic, random place but a cosmos governed by rational and harmonious principles.
