Book excerpt: What is the best measure of love? After mysterious events allow her to survive a brutal mugging, Storm struggles to understand what happened, and to identify the shadowy benefactor who intervened on her behalf. Her search leads to Michael, her seeming attacker, who hides a darker secret rooted in the sorcery of a now-extinct Native American culture. Their nascent love dies on the vine, and Storm loses interest in the issue of her survival; but when she develops a terminal illness, Michael returns from the shadows. The story he tells makes it clear that when she was attacked, her survival was assured by being in the right place at the right time. Now, with her life in the balance, Storm races to once again sleep beneath a certain tree on the night of a crescent moon. In the process, she learns a bittersweet lesson about true love, and sacrifice.

Download or read book The Book of Leaves written by Allen J. Coombes and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 2007 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all our childhood memories, few are quite as thrilling, or as tactile, as those of climbing trees. Scampering up the rough trunk, spying on the world from the cool green shelter of the canopy, lying on a limb and looking up through the leaves at the summer sun almost made it seem as if we were made for trees, and trees for us.Even in adulthood, trees retain their power, from the refreshing way their waves of green break the monotony of a cityscape to the way their autumn transformations take our breath away. In this lavishly illustrated volume, the trees that have enriched our lives finally get their full due, through a focus on the humble leaves that serve, in a sense, as their public face. The Book of Leaves offers a visually stunning and scientifically engaging guide to six hundred of the most impressive and beautiful leaves from around the world. Each leaf is reproduced here at its actual size, in full color, and is accompanied by an explanation of the range, distribution, abundance, and habitat of the tree on which it’s found. Brief scientific and historical accounts of each tree and related species include fun-filled facts and anecdotes that broaden its portrait. The Henry’s Maple, for instance, found in China and named for an Irish doctor who collected leaves there, bears little initial resemblance to the statuesque maples of North America, from its diminutive stature to its unusual trifoliolate leaves. Or the Mediterranean Olive, which has been known to live for more than 1,500 years and whose short, narrow leaves only fall after two or three years, pushed out in stages by the emergence of younger leaves. From the familiar friends of our backyards to the giants of deep woods, The Book of Leaves brings the forest to life—and to our living rooms—as never before.

The contributors treat Whitman?s poetry, his biography, his politics, his reception in the United States and abroad, race and ethnic issues, nineteenth-century America, and even the complex typographical history of the first edition of Leaves of Grass. The volume also includes a tribute from the renowned poet Galway Kinnell.
