Summary:
Existing at the margins of life, lichens are the result of symbiotic relationships between fungi and photosynthesizing partners in the form of algae or cyanobacteria. Comprising more than twenty thousand species, lichens are pioneers in diverse ecosystems, colonizing virtually any surface and growing at almost any altitude.

Summary:
Existing at the margins of life, lichens are the result of symbiotic relationships between fungi and photosynthesizing partners in the form of algae or cyanobacteria. Comprising more than twenty thousand species, lichens are pioneers in diverse ecosystems, colonizing virtually any surface and growing at almost any altitude. Found in rainforests, polar regions, deserts, and your backyard, lichens embody a paradox of toughness and sensitivity, surviving trips to space yet endangered by even the slightest environmental changes from industrial pollution here on Earth. Lichens grow everywhere, but only on their own terms: no one has ever fully assembled a lichen in the lab from its component parts. "The lives of lichens" explores all facets of these peculiar organisms, blending stunning macrophotography and graphics with in-depth coverage of profiled species to provide an unforgettable tour of the marvelous world of lichens.

En rassemblant textes scientifiques, artistiques, et critiques autour de la migration des plantes, cet ouvrage rejoint la discussion contemporaine entre arts et sciences : écrivains, penseurs et artistes y croisent et confrontent leurs regards en abordant des sujets tels que le brassage, le voyage, ou la migration. Quels mots, quels récits et quelles images pour parler des plantes qui prolifèrent, provoquant parfois des peurs de dépaysement et de perte de biodiversité? Les manières que nous avons d’appréhender ces mouvements végétaux font éclater au grand jour des enjeux esthétiques, éthiques et politiques, articulés autour de quatre axes : modalités, indisciplines végétales, ambiguïtés coloniales et postcoloniales et enfin sympoïèses*. L’adresse du livre est plurielle : lecteurs et lectrices sensibles aux mondes académiques, artistiques et du jardin pourront prendre la mesure de ce que peuvent nous dire et nous apprendre les plantes, entre enquêtes photographiques, textes, poèmes, illustrations et entretiens. Avec un préface par Gilles Clément.

Summary:
Seaweed is so familiar, and yet we know so little about it. Even its names-- pepper dulse, sea lettuce, bladderwrack-- are mystifying. In this exquisitely illustrated portrait, poet and artist Miek Zwamborn shares discoveries of seaweed's history, culture, and science. We encounter its medicinal and gastronomic properties and long history of human use, from the Neolithic(...)

Summary:
Seaweed is so familiar, and yet we know so little about it. Even its names-- pepper dulse, sea lettuce, bladderwrack-- are mystifying. In this exquisitely illustrated portrait, poet and artist Miek Zwamborn shares discoveries of seaweed's history, culture, and science. We encounter its medicinal and gastronomic properties and long history of human use, from the Neolithic people of the Orkney islands to sushi artisans in modern Japan. We find seaweed troubling Columbus on his voyages across the Atlantic and intriguing Humboldt in the Sargasso Sea. We follow its inspiration for artists from Hokusai to Matisse, its collection by Victorians as pressed specimens in books, its adoption into fashion and dance, and its potential for combating climate change, as a sustainable food source and a means of reducing methane emissions in cattle. And, of course, we learn how to eat seaweed, through a fabulous series of recipes based around these "truffles of the seas."
