Sinossi

"Native Plants Guide" highlights the critical role of native plants in fostering environmental conservation and ecological restoration, particularly in North America. Native plants are uniquely adapted to local conditions, supporting biodiversity and promoting soil health. The book explores how incorporating these plants into our gardens and landscapes can significantly enhance pollinator health and create drought-tolerant gardens, helping to combat the negative impacts of habitat loss.

 
The guide delves into the ecological importance of native plant communities, advocating for sustainable landscaping practices. It uniquely empowers individuals to actively participate in conservation efforts by providing accessible information and practical advice, even without prior botanical knowledge. For example, the book explains how native plants form intricate relationships with local fauna, crucial for the balance of ecosystems.

 
The book systematically progresses from defining native plants and exploring their ecological roles to practical conservation strategies and habitat restoration. It also includes a guide to nurseries and resources, enabling readers to take actionable steps in their own communities. By highlighting successful restoration projects and drawing from ecological studies, "Native Plants Guide" demonstrates the power of local action in addressing broader environmental challenges.

Racing To Extinction - Why...

Lyle Lewis, Foreword by Sue...

Global warming, loss of biodiversity, and toxic chemicals are undermining the ability of the planet to support complex life. Routinely overlooked in causing our current predicament is that several million years of evolution has predisposed Homo sapiens, both anatomically and behaviorally, to vanishing.A former endangered species biologist looks at the ongoing sixth mass extinction through the prism of human behavior, personal experience, ecology, evolutionary biology, and contemporary conservation efforts. He provides new insights into factors triggering the current mass extinction event and examines conventional wisdom regarding human intelligence. The author suggests—as humanity edges ever closer to disappearing forever—a clear-eyed, real-world rationale for resignation but also acceptance.Foreward by Sue Coulstock; Foreward narrated by Heather Henderson

North York Moors and Yorkshire...

Tony Waltham

This book is one of a popular series that seeks to tell the story of some of Britain's most beautiful landscapes. Written with the general reader – the walker, the lover of the countryside – firmly in mind, these pages open the door to a fascinating story of bygone oceans, deltas, mineralisation and glacial landscapes.
Millions of years ago, rocks that now form the lovely terrains of the Moors and Wolds were laid down on the floors of shallow seas, and were then deformed by plate tectonics before being shaped by streams and rivers. The sandstones were left to form the high Moors, whereas the chalk was carved into the rolling Wolds. Ice Age lakes came and went, and all the time wave action was fretting the coastline into glorious and varied profiles.
With the help of numerous maps, diagrams and photographs, most of which are taken from his personal collection, geologist Tony Waltham tells the fascinating story of eastern Yorkshire, explaining just how the landscapes of sandstone uplands, chalk hills and clay vales came to look as they do. Including suggestions for walks and places to visit to appreciate the best of the inland and coastal landforms, this accessible and readable book opens up amazing new perspectives for all who are interested in the diverse landscapes of this beautiful area.

Period - The Real Story of...

Kate Clancy

This audiobook narrated by Kate Clancy shares a bold and revolutionary perspective on the science and cultural history of menstruation

Menstruation is something half the world does for a week at a time, for months and years on end, yet it remains largely misunderstood. Scientists once thought of an individual's period as useless and some doctors still believe it's unsafe for a menstruating person to swim in the ocean wearing a tampon. Period counters the false theories that have long defined the study of the uterus, exposing the eugenic history of gynecology while providing an intersectional feminist perspective on menstruation science.

Blending interviews and personal experience with engaging stories from her own pioneering research, Kate Clancy challenges many of the myths and false assumptions that have defined the study of the uterus. There is no such a thing as a "normal" menstrual cycle. In fact, menstrual cycles are incredibly variable and highly responsive to environmental and psychological stressors. Clancy takes up a host of timely issues surrounding menstruation, from bodily autonomy, menstrual hygiene, and the COVID-19 vaccine to the ways racism, sexism, and medical betrayal warp public perceptions of menstruation and erase it from public life.

Offering a revelatory new perspective on one of the most captivating biological processes in the human body, Period will change the way you think about the past, present, and future of periods.
