Download or read book The Humane Gardener written by Nancy Lawson and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces.

The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.

Download or read book North American Wild Flowers written by Agnes Dunbar Chamberlin and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "North American Wild Flowers" is a book dedicated to the study of the various species of flowers found in Canada as well as the wider North American context. It is a sequel to the earlier novel 'Wild Flowers of Canada' that focused on species only found in the country. Author and flower lover Catherine P. Traill explains her reason for the book thus, "What a garland of loveliness has nature woven for man's admiration, and yet, comparatively speaking, how few appreciate the beauties thus lavishly bestowed upon them?...They show him the parental care of a beneficent God for the winged creatures of the air, and for the sustenance of the beasts of the field. They point to the better life, the resurrection from the darkness of the grave. They are emblems of man's beauty and of his frailty. They lend us by flowery paths from earth to heaven, where the flowers fade not away. Shall we then coldly disregard the flowers that our God has made so wondrously fair, to beautify the earth we live on?"

Download or read book Fat of the Land written by Langdon Cook and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2011-03-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foraging is not just a throwback to our hunter-gatherer past; it's a way to reconnect with the landscape. And Langdon Cook is not just your typical grocery cart-toting dad. For him, gourmet delicacies abound, free for the taking if we just open our eyes. As a result, he finds himself free-diving in icy Puget Sound in hopes of spearing a snaggletooth lingcod, armed with nothing more than a "Hawaiian sling." He tempts fate by eating mushrooms that may or may not be poisonous. He strings up a fly rod to chase after sea-run trout. He even pulls on the gardening gloves to collect stinging nettles. In wry, detailed prose, he traces his journey from wrangler of pre-packaged calories to connoisseur of coveted wild edibles. Structured around the seasons of the year, each chapter focuses on a specific food type and concludes with a recipe featuring the author's hard-won bounty, a savory stop to each adventure-filled morsel.
