When the forest thrives, we thrive. The world-renowned forest ecologist Suzanne Simard has transformed our understanding of the profound intelligence and interconnectedness of trees. In When the Forest Breathes, she uncovers how the deep-rooted cycles of renewal that sustain the forest can also help us to protect our entire global ecosystem. Raised in a family of loggers committed to sustainable stewardship of the land, Simard has watched as timber companies leave the forests of her native British Columbia vulnerable to wildfires and drought, threatening the crucial biodiversity that they support. But her groundbreaking research for the Mother Tree Project - one of the most ambitious forest ecology experiments of its kind - has the potential to chart a new course. The forest, she reveals, is a living symphony of finely honed cycles of birth, growth, death and rebirth that hold the key to protecting the natural world. Working closely with local Indigenous communities, whose sustainable practices have been largely ignored, Simard examines how holistic, regenerative forestry that preserves the cycles of the forest can help solve the global climate crisis. Weaving together scientific discoveries and luminous storytelling, Simard's book is a call to rediscover our kinship with the natural world, and listen to the lessons of the forest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simard, Suzanne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42191675719760,"sku":"9780241824924","price":33.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9780241824924_1.jpg?v=1774934906"},{"product_id":"quarterly-essay-29-love-money","title":"Quarterly Essay #29 Love \u0026 Money","description":"","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42193238523984,"sku":"9781863951593","price":14.39,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/17728643482851.jpg?v=1775079151"},{"product_id":"simply-climate-change","title":"Simply Climate Change","description":"","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42193238687824,"sku":"9780241516072","price":17.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/26960053482273.jpg?v=1775079157"},{"product_id":"dont-burn-anyone-at-the-stake-today","title":"Don't Burn Anyone At The Stake Today","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eAn electrifying, thought-provoking exploration of how the digital era is reshaping our world, by bestselling, Women's Prize-winning writer Naomi Alderman What's the most useful thing you could know about your own life? In this era-defining book, developed from her groundbreaking Radio 4 essay series, Naomi Alderman turns her boundless curiosity and incisive thinking to a question that affects us all- how do we understand, and navigate, the epoch we're living through? She calls this epoch the Information Crisis. The internet has flooded us with more knowledge, opinions, ideas, opportunities, as well as verbal attacks and misinformation, than ever before. It lets us learn more quickly and also spread falsehood more quickly, it brings us together and also divides us in new ways, it is now the lens through which we perceive and understand the world. There is no going back. But we have been here before. In fact, this is humanity's third information crisis. The first, the invention of writing 5,000 years ago, and the second, the invention of the printing press 600 years ago, drastically reshaped our perceptions, interactions and mental landscapes in ways that feel acutely familiar. Overwhelmed by information, people become afraid and angry, unsettled and distressed, as well as more knowledgeable, educated and curious. By looking at those previous information crises, both the turmoil and the advances, Alderman asks what we can learn from the past to better understand our present, and prepare for our future. Drawing on the work of philosophers and historians, Don't Burn Anyone at the Stake Today explores how new technology opens up new ways of being and helps us chart a way forward (once again), through the turbulent seas of information overload.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alderman, Naomi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42193322147920,"sku":"9780241777633","price":35.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9780241777633_1.jpg?v=1775029280"},{"product_id":"where-the-earth-meets-the-sky","title":"Where The Earth Meets The Sky","description":"\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\t\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e.cs97DFFCB{12pt;font-weight:normal;color:#000000;font-style:normal;Times New Roman;} .cs3270F94{margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0pt}\u003c\/style\u003e\r\n\t\r\n\t\u003cp class=\"cs3270F94\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs97DFFCB\"\u003eA stunning work of natural history, science, and polar travelogue, Where the Earth Meets the Sky is a chronicle of one conservation scientist's time in Antarctica, the most isolated place on the planet. Antarctica is the coldest, windiest and most inaccessible part of our planet-and now one of the places most troubled by climate change. In this moving narrative, conservation scientist Louise K. Blight recounts her summer studying Adelie penguins. On isolated Ross Island, Louise K. Blight and pioneering penguin biologist David Ainley document how the region's penguins are being affected by the world's largest-ever iceberg. The iceberg's impact is geological in scope and life-changing for the breeding penguins rushing to mate and rear their young. The researchers record details of penguin courtship, incubation, and chick-rearing against a backdrop of the mental and emotional impacts of extreme weather, ongoing isolation and twenty-four hours of daylight. Interwoven with stories of early explorers and modern-day Antarcticans, Blight conveys the solitude and the endless silence that ultimately allows her to explore the grief that has lingered since the untimely deaths of her father and sister. A stunning work of natural history, science and polar travelogue, this is a story about a female scientist navigating Antarctica's extreme conditions and quirky human subculture. It is a story about how the world's most unforgiving environment has shaped the psyches of Antarctica's human visitors, past and present-and how nature can heal the human soul.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blight, Louise K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42283390140496,"sku":"9781761357435","price":33.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781761357435_1.jpg?v=1776659357"}],"url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/collections\/environment.oembed","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
