Summary:
There are an estimated three trillion trees in the world, half as many as there once were. To honor and protect these vital organisms, a shift in perspective can help expand our understanding beyond simply appreciating trees' remarkable beauty to discovering the ways they are inextricably connected to our planet, our fellow species, and our spirits. Within these pages, biologist Joan Maloof offers forty distinct ways of encountering, exploring, and learning about a tree. Through engaging, impassioned essays, paired with watercolor illustrations, she invites us to get to know a tree by its leaves; through its rings; from its birds; by its song; and so much more

Summary:
A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. It does not have to be this way-- but we will not save what we do not love. "The book of birds" is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered.(...)

Summary:
A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. It does not have to be this way-- but we will not save what we do not love. "The book of birds" is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not "What is that bird?," but "Who is that bird?" It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.

Sentir l’arôme corsé et herbacé des baies de genièvre dans un cocktail de gin tonic ; s’enivrer du parfum sucré des fleurs du tilleul d’Amérique ; se plonger dans un vieux livre fleurant la vanille et l’amande et se souvenir que la littérature prend racine dans les arbres… Poète et naturaliste hors pair, David G. Haskell décrit les canaux qu’emprunte l’odorat pour nous connecter intimement à chaque arbre, molécule par molécule. Ainsi, déceler la signature aromatique d’un frêne rouge ou d’un chêne, c’est prendre part à leurs conversations secrètes et mesurer la force du lien immémorial qui nous unit à ces autres êtres vivants. Entrez dans la forêt, humez l’écorce et la sève : c’est le monde entier que vous respirez.

The texts accompanying this research are an essay by Francesco Messina and reflections by landscape designer Matteo Lacivita who starts from the naturalistic observation of colors to also talk about painting, music and other art forms that color really cannot do without.
