Description:
Dodd, Mead, 1978. Hardcover. Good/No dustjacket. 9x6x1. Set down on the spot and in season, it is a richly varied interweaving of discoveries, reflections, original observations, remembrances, firsthand experiences and fresh insights into nature. A companion volume to Teale's A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm, it brings vividly to life a year of days at Trail Wood, his New England homestead.When you come to the end of these daily walks, they will remain in your mind as sharply defined as experiences of your won. You will remember the encounters with such unusual creatures as the loneliness bird, the cold-tailed squirrel, the butterfly swallowed by a flower, the cat that went hunting with a beagle. You will recall the beauty, the strangeness, the surprises, the thoughtful digressions along the way. Edwin Way Teale (1899 â 1980) was an American naturalist, photographer and writer. Teale's works serve as primary source material documenting environmental conditions across North…

Description:
Henry Holt & Company, 1998. Hard cover. Like New/Very Good. 9x6x0. An important horticultural memoir articulating a new landscape art that's both environmentally sensitive and rich in creativity.Janet Marinelli left her comfortable city garden to join a botanist colleague in search of the rare Seabeach Amaranth--one of our many native species that is in danger of extinction. The result of the ensuing seven-year odyssey, Stalking the Wild Amaranth is a work of science and a work of art. Marinelli tells the story of her discovery that contemporary gardening is out of sync with theories evolving on the frontiers of science and philosophy. She also tells of her quest for a new garden art that nurtures a greater richness and variety of earthly life. Inspired by the legacy of Henry David Thoreau, Marinelli blends history, horticulture, erudition, and personal insight into a narrative that ponders the relationship between humankind and nature. She fleshes out a vision for a new, ecologically wise…

They were also extraordinary men and close friends. This first full portrait of that friendship transforms our understanding of their times. Pepys was earthy and shrewd, while Evelyn was a genteel aesthete, but both were drawn to intellectual pursuits. Brought together by their work to alleviate the plight of sailors caught up in the Dutch wars, they shared an inexhaustible curiosity for life and for the exotic. Willes explores their mutual interests--diary-keeping, science,…

Viet Nam - a microcosm of Asian culture
A moment in time: Monks walk past Tu Hieu Pagoda in Hue City.
The charming Cham: The Cham attend the traditional Ka te festival at Poklong Garai tower in Phan Rang-Thap Cham Town in Ninh Thuan Province. Although Vietnamese culture is heavily influenced by India and China, it is still quite distinct. Nguyen Van Chien affirmsStretch your eyes beyond the S-shape of Viet Nam to the north of the Yangxi River in China, or to the west until the Indian northeast state of Assam, or eastward to the Philippines waters, Hawaii and even Madagascar in Africa, or southward to the Pacific Islands, and it is not difficult to see landscapes and people similar to that of Viet Nam.
More surprises might well be unveiled if one undertakes a deeper exploration.
