Описание: The Green Thread: Dialogues with the Vegetal World is an interdisciplinary collection of essays in the emerging field of Plant Studies. The volume is the first of its kind to bring together a dynamic body of scholarship that shares a critique of long-standing human perceptions of plants as lacking autonomy, agency, consciousness, and, intelligence. The leading metaphor of the book--"the green thread", echoing poet Dylan Thomas' phrase "the green fuse"--carries multiple meanings. On a more apparent level, "the green thread" is what weaves together the diverse approaches of this collection: an interest in the vegetal that goes beyond single disciplines and specialist discourses, and one that not only encourages but necessitates interdisciplinary and even interspecies dialogue. On another level, "the green thread" links creative and historical productions to the materiality of the vegetal--a reality reflecting our symbiosis with oxygen-producing beings. In short, The Green Thread refers to the conversations about plants that transcend strict disciplinary boundaries as well as to the possibility of dialogue with plants.

Описание: An accessible and compelling story of a scientist's discovery of plant communication and how it influenced her research and changed her life. In this "phytobiography"--a collection of stories written in partnership with a plant--research scientist Monica Gagliano reveals the dynamic role plants play in genuine first-hand accounts from her research into plant communication and cognition. By transcending the view of plants as the objects of scientific materialism, Gagliano encourages us to rethink plants as people--beings with subjectivity, consciousness, and volition, and hence having the capacity for their own perspectives and voices. The book draws on up-close-and-personal encounters with the plants themselves, as well as plant shamans, indigenous elders, and mystics from around the world and integrates these experiences with an incredible research journey and the groundbreaking scientific discoveries that emerged from it. Gagliano has published numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers on how plants have a Pavlov-like response to stimuli and can learn, remember, and communicate to neighboring plants. She has pioneered the brand-new research field of plant bioacoustics, for the first time experimentally demonstrating that plants emit their own 'voices' and, moreover, detect and respond to the sounds of their environments. By demonstrating experimentally that learning is not the exclusive province of animals, Gagliano has re-ignited the discourse on plant subjectivity and ethical and legal standing. This is the story of how she made those discoveries and how the plants helped her along the way.

Описание: In un remoto passato, uomini e angeli avevano abitato la Terra insieme. Ma troppo simili nelle passioni, somiglianti nei cuori come nei volti, i divini si ritirarono nel Gan Desha, alla ricerca di una nuova patria. Alcuni tuttavia, osservata con disgusto la corruzione dei loro simili, scelsero l'esilio, rinunciando per sempre alla luce. ""La vergogna per ci che era stato generato tinse le loro anime di un indelebile lutto, mutandoli anche nell'aspetto..."" L'epocale vicenda travolge la vita di Diletta, segnandola con cicatrici che le solcano lo spirito, ma che l'aiuteranno a far risplendere la parte migliore di se stessa. Un romanzo emozionante, epico, solenne. Il primo volume di una saga, un grande esordio.

Описание:
Is It True? is a delightful collection of children's humorous poetry that children will want to read over and over. It encourages parents to interact in an enjoyable way with their children, to help them understand the many misunderstandings of common expressions used in our daily language.
The book explores a child's perception of adult sayings like:
"Your father's in the dog house"
"Lost your marbles"
"Double-jointed"
What makes perfect sense to an adult sounds strange to children. They tend to be literal about what parents say, taking things out of context. As adults, we become desensitized to the exact meaning of subtle sayings we use daily.
Explore these saying with your children. Whether they come up naturally or are discovered in Is It True?, this illustrated book helps you laugh and learn with your children as they grow up.
