An Indigenous environmental scientist breaks down why western conservationism isn't working--and offers Indigenous models informed by case studies, personal stories, and family histories that center the voices of Latin American women and land protectors. Despite the undeniable fact that Indigenous communities are among the most affected by climate devastation, Indigenous science is nowhere to be found in mainstream environmental policy or discourse. And while holistic land, water, and forest management practices born from millennia of Indigenous knowledge systems have much to teach all of us, Indigenous science has long been ignored, otherized, or perceived as "soft"--the product of a systematic, centuries-long campaign of racism, colonialism, extractive capitalism, and delegitimization. Here, Jessica Hernandez--Maya Ch'orti' and Zapotec environmental scientist and founder of environmental agency Piña Soul--introduces and contextualizes Indigenous environmental knowledge and proposes a vision of land stewardship that heals rather than displaces, that generates rather than destroys. She breaks down the failures of western-defined conservatism and shares alternatives, citing the restoration work of urban Indigenous people in Seattle; her family's fight against ecoterrorism in Latin America; and holistic land management approaches of Indigenous groups across the continent. Through case studies, historical overviews, and stories that center the voices and lived experiences of Indigenous Latin American women and land protectors, Hernandez makes the case that if we're to recover the health of our planet--for everyone--we need to stop the eco-colonialism ravaging Indigenous lands and restore our relationship with Earth to one of harmony and respect.

For many members of the Hall family, a giant naseberry tree near their home in Jamaica served as a dear friend and confidant. It was a place of comfort and discussion, where children learned to mimic adults in speech and lifestyle. In Book Three Products from Under the Old Naseberry Tree, author Hortense M. Jenkins builds recollections of her family’s history, development, and faith around the memory of the naseberry tree. She explores undying love in the midst of strain, disappointment, and the rough edges of life, examining the ups and downs that many of the family encountered along the way. Although the family had few luxuries, they were happy. The family’s children never lost hope; God never gave up on them, and they never left His presence. And as a result of the foundation laid early in their lives, the Hall children excelled in most of their undertakings. Enhanced with scripture references throughout, this personal narrative shares the history of a family and explores the lessons that their growth and faith can teach others.

Many cultures have been developed in the world and over the time they also have been perished. Indian culture is the most ancient culture of the world. It is focused on the spirit of spirituality and in fact, it is based merely on spirituality rather than cosmicism, materialism and occultism, whose primary goal is to make spiritual advancement of the whole world by establishing human values such as peace, tolerance, unity, truth, non-violence and morality. With the purpose of working for everyone's happiness in the interest of everyone, it is inherent in the sense of accepting the whole world as its own family This is the reason that Indian culture still remains intact in its original form for thousands of years on the basis of its cultural and life-values. Apart from arbitrariness and selfishness, it has the power to live an ideal life based on qualities like justice, generosity, devotion and sacrifice and it also has power to bind the world humanity into one formula. In true sense, Indian culture is the key to making life worthwhile. The beliefs and traditions of Indian culture are established on some scientific basis, which are seen even in today's computer era as rational on the basis of scientific perspectives and are confirmed on their scientific values. There are countless features of this kind. It is the ocean of such pearls which are not possible to collect all and put them in the book. Yet some very important aspects are very nicely compiled in this book.

The Complete Language of Trees is a comprehensive encyclopedia providing the meanings, powers, facts, and folklore for over 400 types of trees--now in a pocket-size edition for easy, on-the-go reference. Along with a stunning visual depiction, each entry provides the tree's scientific and common name, characteristics, and historic and hidden properties from mythology, legends, and folklore. Discover the lore of trees, including: Hackberry Tree - encourages someone to continuously do their best Manchineel Tree - it is so toxic that the smoke from a burning tree can cause blindness, and it is not even advised to inhale the air around the tree Bark from the Bird Cherry Tree was placed on doors during medieval times to ward off plague Washi paper is created from the inner bark of the Paper Mulberry Tree. Pando is a Quaking Aspen colony that is 108 acres wide (about the size of 83 football fields!). It is technically one tree. Imagine developing a spiritual connection with a tree in a way that exceeds visual perception; where learning its meaning and value simultaneously improves your own mental and physical wellness. Throughout history, floriographies--flower dictionaries--have gained notoriety for regulating human emotions and giving depth, symbolism, and meaning to extremely delicate aspects of nature. Following the success of The Complete Language of Herbs and its predecessor The Complete Language of Flowers, author S. Theresa Dietz continues this custom with The Complete Language of Trees. Coupled with two indexes, one for searching by common tree name and the other organized by meaning, Dietz cleverly connects quality time in nature with the overall improvement of mental health by developing a stunningly depicted dictionary for gardeners, environmentalists, and nature lovers alike.
