Upon eating the berries, Dot is able to understand the language of all animals, and she tells the kangaroo her plight.

    What qualities distinguish an excellent forager? 
      
    He can detect and discover edible wild plants in his immediate surroundings. 
      
    However, this task may sometimes be intimidating, with over 80,000 edible species to choose from.  
    However, it is essential that every forager, whether novice or experienced, knows his plants and mushrooms. 
      
    All a forager needs is this guide to help him identify edible wild plants and mushrooms in his area. 
      
    We selected, discussed, and discovered 50 edible wild plants that a forager may encounter during his adventures. 
      
    So, how prepared are you for the foraging revolution? 
      
    The hunting and gathering period is returning, and you don't want to be left behind.  
    The ability to forage is something that everyone needs at this time. 
      
    It would be best if you had all the required instruments in your arsenal. There are several places to get this information, but none are as reliable as a book on the subject.  
      
    You need a book like this one that you can rely on to provide you with well-studied and confirmed information. 
      
    So grab your book, stuff it in your bag, and let's get started - right now!

    "When Breath Becomes Air" by Paul Kalanithi : Book Summary by FlashBooksNOTE—THIS IS AN AUDIOBOOK SUMMARY: When Breath Becomes AirBy Paul KalanithiABOUT:This autobiography is a beautiful tragedy. It is the story of Dr. Paul Kalanithi’s short, outstanding life. Yet somehow, it transcends the format of a ‘This Is My Life’ book to become a profound story about life, death, and living with death. And then, it becomes a legacy of living life with meaning and purpose, even beyond the grave.Kalanithi’s story has a charming beginning – a story about a city boy who suddenly moved with his family to a small Arizona town to grow up with his two brothers, his physician father, and his mother – a woman who took personal responsibility for her sons’ education, and insisted that Kalanithi read the books that would become his most meaningful friends throughout his too short life.His journey through undergraduate school, medical school, and his residency as a neurosurgeon were constantly reframing his understanding of life, death and meaning. Before he turned 36, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. This book culminates in his final choice – to live every day, even while dying.Here’s what you’ll learn about in this summary:How reading became Kalanithi’s passion in his preteens, and set the foundation for a man who would seek language to explain life and meaning.The journey of a seeker – a man who became dissatisfied with the written word, and decided that life should be experienced through the hands-on reality of the medical profession.The hauntingly beautiful transformation from student to neurosurgeon to cancer patient, and the enlightenment about life that could only be found in dying.

    An exploration of the Anthropocene and “a relentless reckoning of how we, as a species, got ourselves into the mess we’re in today” (The Wall Street Journal). 
     
    Meteorites, mega-volcanoes, and plate tectonics—the old forces of nature—have transformed Earth for millions of years. They are now joined by a new geological force—humans. Our actions have driven Earth into a new geological epoch, the Anthropocene. For the first time in our home planet's 4.5-billion-year history a single species is increasingly dictating Earth’s future. 
     
    To some the Anthropocene symbolizes a future of superlative control of our environment. To others it is the height of hubris, the illusion of our mastery over nature. Whatever your view, just below the surface of this odd-sounding scientific word—the Anthropocene—is a heady mix of science, philosophy, history, and politics linked to our deepest fears and utopian visions. 
     
    Tracing our environmental impacts through time, scientists Simon Lewis and Mark Maslin reveal a new view of human history and a new outlook for the future of humanity in the unstable world we have created.

    “Written by an activist for activists . . . a powerful call for collective action against the social causes of poverty and climate change.” —Climate & Capitalism 
     
    A new generation of activists working for economic and environmental justice, and against war and poverty, confronts critical questions. Why is the world so unjust and crisis-prone? What kind of world should we fight for? How can we win? In this panoramic yet accessible book, Umair Muhammad engages with these and other urgent debates. He argues that individual solutions like “buying green” are dead ends and that hope for the future lies in a radical expansion of democracy and the transformation of the economy from one based on profit to one that can meet human needs. 
     
    “A highly recommended read for those who are interested in working together to transform society.” —Chelsey Rhodes, founder of DelusionsofDevelopment.com 
     
    “This book will force activists to check their intentions. I wasn’t even halfway done before I wanted to share it with everyone I knew.” —Maryama Ahmed, Toronto-based community organizer 
     
    “A wide-ranging and unflinching look at the global nature of the challenges contemporary activists seek to address. Its blend of environmental and anti-imperialist analysis, grounded in direct organizing experience, makes this a powerful and important resource.” —Dru Oja Jay, coauthor of Paved with Good Intentions 
     
    “What [Umair] provides is an opening statement in an important discussion that activists must have . . . A must-read book for today’s activists.” —Ian Angus, author of A Redder Shade of Green
