Описание:

Botanical encounters in the rainforest: trees that walk, a leaf as big as an awning, a plant that dances.

This Atlas invites the reader to tour the farthest reaches of the rainforest in search of exotic--poetic--plant life. Guided in these botanical encounters by Francis Hall , who has spent forty years in pursuit of the strange and beautiful plant specimens of the rainforest, the reader discovers a plant with just one solitary, monumental leaf; an invasive hyacinth; a tree that walks; a parasitic laurel; and a dancing vine. Further explorations reveal the Rafflesia arnoldii, the biggest flower in the world, with a crown of stamens and pistils the color of rotten meat that exude the stench of garbage in the summer sun; underground trees with leaves that form a carpet on the ground above them; and the biggest tree in Africa, which can reach seventy meters (more tha 200 feet) in height, with a four-meter (about 13 feet) diameter. Hall 's drawings, many in color, provide a witty accompaniment.

Like any good tour guide, Hall tells stories to illustrate his facts. Readers learn about, among other things, Queen Victoria's rubber tree; legends of the moabi tree (for example, that powder from the bark confers invisibility); a flower that absorbs energy from a tree; plants that imitate other plants; a tree that rains; and a fern that clones itself.

Hall 's drawings represent an investment in time that returns a dividend of wonder more satisfying than the ephemeral thrill afforded by the photograph. The Atlas of Poetic Botany allows us to be amazed by forms of life that seem as strange as visitors from another planet.

Описание:

From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes a seductive novel of riches, romance, and redemption.

In the Dumont fashion empire, no heir has a reputation as decadent, arrogant, and ruthless as that of Pascal Dumont. Every transgression, an indecent pleasure. Every woman, a conquest. And none is more challenging than his new personal assistant, Gabrielle Caron. She's defiant, alluring, and a mystery Pascal can't wait to solve.

A former family servant and daughter of the head maid, Gabrielle's returned as suddenly as she left eight years ago. No longer an awkward teen, the ethereal young beauty has amassed a wealth of resolve. She'll need it. In hire to the devilishly charming scion, she's come back for one reason only. And she dare not whisper why.

But as the nights grow more intimate at the Dumont maison, Gabrielle realizes that the last man she believed in is the one man she can trust with her secrets. For Pascal, falling in love means more than his own redemption. It could mean saving Gabrielle's very life as they confront a dark and scandalous past...together.

Описание: With Book #2 of the Experiment in Terror Series, Perry Palomino and Dex Foray trade in the stormy Oregon coast for the unforgiving deserts of New Mexico. In the for-got-ten town of Red Fox, a Navajo cou-ple is tor-tured by things unseen and by motives unknown. Wild ani-mals slink through their house in the dark, a bar-rage of stones pound their roof nightly, and muti-lated sheep car-casses are turn-ing up on their prop-erty. Armed with a cam-era and just enough to go on, Perry and Dex travel to the des-o-late locale, hop-ing to film the super-nat-ural occur-rences and add cred-i-bil-ity to their flail-ing web-cast. Only their show has a lot more work-ing against them than just grow-ing pains. Tested by dubi-ous ranch hands, a ghost from Dex's past, and shapeshift-ing decep-tion, the ama-teur ghost hunters must learn to trust each other in order to fight the most ancient of myths...or die trying.
