Why spend countless hours indoors in front of screens when being in nature feels so good? In learning why and how to nurture our emotional connection with nature, we can also regenerate the ecosystems on which we depend for our survival.

Even if you have tried various forms of traditional healing sessions, I deeply believe that this audiobook will assist you on healing your lost soul, aching heart, and physical body pain and will also help you to have deep understanding on how to help and live with someone who is going through a predicament through the Native American healing powers.

Magic mushrooms are most commonly used for entertainment or medical purposes. Sensory effects include visual and auditory hallucinations followed by emotional and tactile changes and altered perception of time and space. To explore this type of sensory effect, it is fundamental to know exactly the risks that you could come across and how to manage them. Despite risks, mushrooms do much less damage than other recreational drugs. But this doesn’t mean to not take it seriously.

They are trees of life and trees of knowledge. They are wish-fulfillers, rain forest royalty, more precious than gold. They are the fig trees, and they have affected humanity in profound but little-known ways. Gods, Wasps and Stranglers tells their amazing story. Fig trees fed our prehuman ancestors, influenced diverse cultures, and played key roles in the dawn of civilization.

Historia nauki dowodzi, że wiek XIX był czasem chemii, XX fizyki, a XXI prawdopodobnie będzie wiekiem biologii. Nauki biologiczne należą do tych, które w coraz szybszym tempie spektakularnie wyjaśniają skomplikowane mechanizmy rządzące między innymi światem roślin. W świetle dzisiejszej wiedzy śmiało możemy mówić o inteligentnych zachowaniach roślin.

Die Fortsetzung des Millionenbestsellers "Das geheime Leben der Bäume" als Hörbuch. Mit der Natur kann man keine Kompromisse schließen, sagt Peter Wohlleben. Auch wenn wir die Welt durch den Klimawandel zugrunde richten sollten - um den Wald brauchen wir uns keine Sorgen zu machen. Der kommt zurück. Es wäre nur schön, wenn wir dann noch da sind.

Per quanto incredibile ci possa sembrare, le piante sono in grado di provare un'ampia gamma di emozioni. E come è stato recentemente dimostrato, sanno anche, con mezzi dai più straordinari ai più semplici, trasmettere quello che provano. Si difendono, attaccano, siglano alleanze, cacciano, costruiscono, trascinano, comunicano a distanza le loro paure, le loro sofferenze e le loro gioie. Ora è dimostrato: ci percepiscono, ci riconoscono, ci considerano, reagiscono alle nostre emozioni ed esprimono le loro.

Sebbene esista la convinzione che parlare alle piante ne favorisca la crescita, sembra tuttavia alquanto strano immaginare che le piante abbiano una vita mentale. Se però consideriamo che pensare non è altro che la capacità di recepire stimoli dall'ambiente, elaborarli e mettere in atto strategie per sopravvivere, allora possiamo ritenere che le piante abbiano una qualche forma di pensiero e intelligenza. L'autore ci introduce nel mondo delle piante e ne svela i segreti.

Pflanzen bilden die Grundlagen für fast alle Lebensprozesse auf der Erde und natürlich auch für die Menschen. Sie sind uns selbstverständlich geworden, doch es scheint, dass wir den Bezug zu ihnen verloren haben. Oder doch nicht? Immerhin liefern uns Pflanzen Nahrungsmittel, Heilmittel, Energie, Rohstoffe für Kleidung und vieles mehr. Grund genug, höchste Wertschätzung zu zeigen und sich den Pflanzen wieder anzunähern.

Nina Mingya Powles first learned to swim in Borneo - where her mother was born and her grandfather studied freshwater fish. There, the local swimming pool became her first body of water. Through her life there have been others that have meant different things, but have still been, in their own way, home: from the wild coastline of New Zealand to a pond in northwest London. This collection of essays explores the bodies of water that separate and connect us, as well as everything from migration, food, family, earthquakes and the ancient lunisolar calendar to butterflies.

As the dominant species on Earth, humans have made astonishing progress since our ancestors came down from the trees. But how did the descendants of small primates manage to walk upright, become top predators, and populate the world? How were humans able to develop civilizations and produce a globalized economy? Now, in The Age of Wood, Roland Ennos shows for the first time that the key to our success has been our relationship with wood.

The Well-Gardened Mind provides a new perspective on the power of gardening to change people’s lives. Here, Sue Stuart-Smith investigates the many ways in which mind and garden can interact and explores how the process of tending a plot can be a way of sustaining an innermost self. Stuart-Smith’s own love of gardening developed as she studied to become a psychoanalytic psychotherapist.

'Forest bathing' or shinrin-yoku is a way of walking in the woods that was developed in Japan in the 1980s. It brings together ancient ways and wisdom with cutting-edge environmental health science. Simply put, forest bathing is the practice of walking slowly through the woods, in no hurry, for a morning, an afternoon or a day. It is a practice that involves all the senses and as you gently walk and breathe deeply, the essential oils of the trees are absorbed by your body and have an extraordinary effect on positive feelings.

As plants see it, humans are not the masters of the Earth but only one of its most unpleasant and irksome residents. They have been on the planet for only about 300,000 years ago (nothing compared to the three billon years of plant evolution) yet have changed the conditions of the planet so drastically as to make it a dangerous place for their own survival. It's time for the plants to offer advice.

In Monarchs and Milkweed, Anurag Agrawal presents a vivid investigation into how the monarch butterfly has evolved closely alongside the milkweed - a toxic plant named for the sticky white substance emitted when its leaves are damaged - and how this inextricable and intimate relationship has been like an arms race over the millennia, a battle of exploitation and defense between two fascinating species.

Trouet, a leading tree-ring scientist, takes us out into the field, from remote African villages to radioactive Russian forests, offering listeners an insider's look at tree-ring research, a discipline formally known as dendrochronology. Tracing her own professional journey while exploring dendrochronology's history and applications, Trouet describes the basics of how tell-tale tree cores are collected and dated with ring-by-ring precision, explaining the unexpected and momentous insights we've gained from the resulting samples.

Emma Mitchell has suffered with depression - or as she calls it, "the grey slug" - for 25 years. In 2003, she moved from the city to the edge of the Cambridgeshire Fens and began to take walks in the countryside around her new home, photographing, collecting, and drawing as she went. Each walk lifted her mood, proving to be as medicinal as any talking therapy or pharmaceutical. In Emma's diary, she takes us with her as she follows the paths and trails around her cottage and further afield, sharing her nature finds and tracking the lives of local flora and fauna.

A deft blend of science reporting and travel writing, The Journeys of Trees explores the evolving movements of forests by focusing on five trees: giant sequoia, ash, black spruce, Florida torreya, and Monterey pine.

Filled with catchall research, American Hemp examines what this new domestic crop can be used for, what makes it a superior product, and what made it illegal in the first place; the book also delves into the many health and medical benefits of the plant. Hobbs weighs in on how hemp can improve existing industries, from farming to energy to 3D printing, plus how it can make a serious impact on climate change by removing toxins from the soil and by decreasing our dependence on plastics and fossil fuels.
