DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis classic lovingly studies the plant world. It is the fruit of a lifetime of patient and detailed observation of nature. Volume One begins with the flowering plant, and then turns to the living face of Earth. Grohmann then goes on to consider the threefold nature of the plant and the nature of the human being. Finally, there is a description of the "ladder of the plant kingdom." Volume Two adds further plant descriptions and extends the cosmological viewpoint begun in the first volume.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"INFORMATIVE AND ORIGINAL" Guardian, 'This month's best paperbacks' We've become used to thinking of plants as things for us to use: as food, tools, resources, or just as an attractive background to our own lives. But it's time to change our minds. New research shows that plants can think, plan - and may even have memories. We share our planet with beings whose potential we have only glimpsed. Featuring the writing of Robin Wall Kimmerer, Susie Orbach and Merlin Sheldrake, This Book is a Plant will be your handbook to the new reality: showing you a pathway to completely reimagine your relationship with a different kind of natural world. Delve into a world of moss and fungi: Sheila Watt-Cloutier transports us to the Arctic spring, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan discovers the pleasures of painting trees, and Rebecca Tamás puts roots down through earth and soil. This Book is a Plant is made from paper: it was once part of a tree. But it's also a seed: the first shoots of a radical new way of seeing the world around you.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPlant Medicine Mystery School Volume I: The Superhero Healing Powers of Psychotropic Plants takes a kaleidoscopic deep dive into the omnipotent, mysterious, and gloriously gorgeous world of psychotropic plant medicines. Penned by a trained Ayahuasca shaman, this book delves into the superpowers of plants, including Magic Mushrooms, Cannabis, Huachuma, Ayahuasca, Iboga, and many more. The plants themselves are the stars, described in animated detail-not as objects, but as the sentient, wisdom-filled, playful beings that they are. There's also ample information about how healing really happens, the way plant consciousness merges with human consciousness, the ancient art of protection and spiritual safety, and all the life-changing tools and insights that empower psychonauts and pilgrims to make the most of every ceremony and psychedelic journey. If you are called to work with Plant Medicines in any fashion, your next dance into any psychedelic portal will be immeasurably enhanced and improved by the wisdom and real-world experience shared in this book. If you are going to travel to an exotic land it is best to go with a trusted guide. If you want to journey to the sublime psychedelic universe that Ayahuasca and other psychotropic plants open up to us, it is wise to travel with someone who really knows the way. This wonderful book clearly shows that Tina Kat Courtney is such a guide. Authentic, curious and deeply awake. Enjoy the trip! Tim Freke, author of Soul Story: Evolution and The Purpose of Life Just as corporations arrive to colonize psychedelics and their healing potentials, this book reminds us all to carry humility into the strange and expansive worlds opened up in relationship to sacred plants. Embracing the wisdom carried by indigenous lineages, this book is driven to address the serial crises unfolding across the planet with a sense of fierce love, drawing on insights gained through personal trials and transformations. It presents a vision of deep hope in our capacity to learn to care for ourselves and for one another in alliance with larger scale other-than-human forces.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTo be published in 14 volumes over the next 12 years, this long-awaited synoptic compendium represents the first and only comprehensive taxonomic guide to the extraordinary diversity of plant life blanketing our continent north of Mexico--including Greenland and the St. Pierre and Miquelon islands. The collaborative effort of more than 30 major U.S. and Canadian botanical institutions, it revises and synthesizes literally thousands of floristic monographs and regional floras published over the last three centuries. But more than that, it distills the original herbarium, laboratory, and field work of hundreds of contributors--all of them leading botanists and taxonomic authorities who have joined forces to develop this century's premier tool for identifying, understanding, and conserving North America's priceless floristic heritage. Concise, easy to use, and beautifully bound and illustrated, Flora of North America is an indispensable working resource for botanists, conservationists, ecologists, agronomists, foresters, range and land managers, horticulturists,--anyone with a serious interest in the distribution, habitat, morphology, and survival of the wide-ranging plant life around us. Each of its taxonomic volumes brings together the full spectrum of critical botanical data, from basic descriptions to chromosome numbers. The entries also correct erroneous information, qualify misapplied variant names, and note known hybridizations. Findings derived from recent experimental work and from numerical taxonomy are incorporated, and to assure accuracy, these data have been extensively reviewed and tested by cooperating taxonomic specialists. Volume 1 consists of a series of introductory essays by nearly two dozen noted botanical authorities. Among the topics covered are the transformation of North American plant life since the end of the Mesozoic era some 70 million years ago; the influence of geographic, climatic, and soil factors; the impact of human cultivation; great naturalists and their contributions to botany and floristics since the age of Columbus; and approaches to plant classification, with particular attention to the evolutionarily unique pteridophytes and gymnosperms that are covered in Volume 2.

Beatrix Farrand here explains the reasoning behind her plan for each of the gardens and stipulates how each should be cared for in order that its basic character remain intact. Her resourceful suggestions for alternative plantings, her rigorous strictures concerning pruning and replacement, her exposition of the overall concept that underlies each detail, and the plant lists that accompany her discussion of each garden make this a volume of interest to every student, practitioner, and lover of landscape design.
