Download or read book Nuts Squirrels and Knotholes in the Family Tree written by Dan Steinbeck and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-13 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book Summary Nuts, Squirrels, and Knotholes in the Family Tree Many families have funny stories, and poignant moments passed through generations. Often, these stories are lost, because they arent written down. Some details of the antecdotes in this book are permanently lost, as are an untold number of then humorous occasions. For years, when family stories were told and retold with laughter, author Dan Steinbeck threatened to make them in a book. Some of the family - hopefully without regrets now encouraged him, and this is the result. This book is a compilation of short and generally humorous stories, specifically of the David Steinbeck family and ancestors, and extended branches in the family tree, all in northeast or eastern Missouri, west central or central Illinois. As may be obvious from the title and the cover, this is not a serious book, but the incidents are all true. Nuts, Squirrels, and Knotholes in the Family Tree was truly a family project, generations in the making. To be less mortifying for family members to have their humorous personal accounts included, the author bared his soul and included many of his own antics and circumstances. Its helpful, but not absolutely necessary to know any of the people in the book. It is the authors wish that fond family times will be recapped and recounted as he shows some of the great times of his family, and offers proof that yes, there are Nuts, Squirrels and Knotholes in the Family Tree.

Download or read book Finding the Mother Tree written by Suzanne Simard and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • From the world's leading forest ecologist who forever changed how people view trees and their connections to one another and to other living things in the forest—a moving, deeply personal journey of discovery Suzanne Simard is a pioneer on the frontier of plant communication and intelligence; her TED talks have been viewed by more than 10 million people worldwide. In this, her first book, now available in paperback, Simard brings us into her world, the intimate world of the trees, in which she brilliantly illuminates the fascinating and vital truths--that trees are not simply the source of timber or pulp, but are a complicated, interdependent circle of life; that forests are social, cooperative creatures connected through underground networks by which trees communicate their vitality and vulnerabilities with communal lives not that different from our own. Simard writes--in inspiring, illuminating, and accessible ways—how trees, living side by side for hundreds of years, have evolved, how they learn and adapt their behaviors, recognize neighbors, compete and cooperate with one another with sophistication, characteristics ascribed to human intelligence, traits that are the essence of civil societies--and at the center of it all, the Mother Trees: the mysterious, powerful forces that connect and sustain the others that surround them. And Simard writes of her own life, born and raised into a logging world in the rainforests of British Columbia, of her days as a child spent cataloging the trees from the forest and how she came to love and respect them. And as she writes of her scientific quest, she writes of her own journey, making us understand how deeply human scientific inquiry exists beyond data and technology, that it is about understanding who we are and our place in the world.
