Book excerpt: Engage in the life stories of fourteen people whose lives have been shaped by trees—featuring the true stories of a tree doctor, big tree hunter Will Blozan, Plant Amnesty’s pruner, and ninety-four-year-old logger Merve Wilkinson. Also interviewed is Vietnam veteran Bud Pearson, whose post-traumatic stress disorder found healing and acceptance as a wood carver in the wilds of Montana, as well as Andy Lipkis, founder of TreePeople, who has spent thirty-five years ripping up concrete in L.A. to plant over two million trees in an effort to stop flooding and reduce air pollution. Each tree keeper reveals the inspiration and organization behind their advocacy with detailed explanations and touching stories of how their lives have come to be shaped by the forests they are fighting to preserve. Keepers of the Trees includes stories from all over North America, including Vancouver, Chicago, L.A., and Montana. This book includes one hundred color photographs of the tree keepers in action as well as diagrams illustrating the keepers’ work. These are inspirational stories of conservation, healing, passion, and advocacy for any classroom, conservationist, activist, and nature lover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Be forewarned that this book honors people like the woman in my hometown who paints the numbers of her favorite NASCAR drivers on her elephant ears, and a Tokyo gardener with over a hundred bonsai plants.” So says renowned garden journalist Felder Rushing in his new book Maverick Gardeners: Dr. Dirt and Other Determined Independent Gardeners. In this book, Felder delves deeply into the psychology of what motivates and sustains the Keepers of the Garden Flame. For thousands of years, a loosely connected web of unique, nontraditional gardeners has bonded people across race, culture, language, and other social conventions through sharing unique plants and stories. Found in nearly every neighborhood worldwide, these “determined independent gardeners” (DIGrs) are typically nonjoiners who garden simply and exuberantly, eschewing customary horticultural standards in their amateur pursuits of personal bliss. Included in Maverick Gardeners are classic “passalong plant” lists, a dollop of how-to, numerous color photographs, and thought-provoking essays on quintessential tools, sharing with others, getting away with wildflowers in suburbia, and organizing a plant swap. The centerpiece of this unique gardening journey is the no-holds-barred story of a ten-year cross-cultural collaboration between the horticulturist author and a flamboyant rebellious gardener who called himself Dirt. Through swapping plants and garden lore—and rubbing shoulders with fellow DIGrs—they unraveled their shared humanity. From the practical to the inspiring, Maverick Gardeners is the perfect book for those nonconformist souls who see no sense in trying to fit in and follow the footpaths of others.

It is illustrated with a naivety that is both elegant and child-friendly.

Book excerpt: "Essential to the fabric of life, trees and forests grace the continent, from sheltering oaks near the edge of the Atlantic to towering redwoods along the Pacific coast. Forests produce the oxygen we breathe. They cool the earth in summer, nurture wildlife of myriad forms, and help alleviate the effects of global warming. Not only useful and necessary but also strikingly beautiful, forests may be the most beloved part of the American landscape. In 'Trees & Forests of America', award-winning author and photographer Tim Palmer has captured 200 exquisite images of wild forests in all their vitality, complexity, and artistry. He shows New England with its brilliant maples in autumn, Appalachian mountains suffused with green, aspen groves enlivening the Rockies, cottonwoods shading streams in the desert, and rainforests that loom large with biological extravagance in the Northwest. Camera in hand, Palmer has found a spectacular array of natural wonders wherever native forests still grow. In his writing he describes the lives of trees, the ecological workings of forest, the importance that these places have for all of us, and the challenges facing woodlands and the people who care about them. Unaltered digitally or by other means, these pictures show forests as Tim Palmer found them -- at sunrise or sunset, in the depths of winter storms and in the balmy comfort of summer, on the beaches of Hawaii as well as the glaciated frontier of Alaska. Seeking out the quintessential forest in each region, and ever watchful for intimate details as well as the overarching view from treetop or mountaintop, Palmer shows America's trees and forests as never before portrayed in one volume of photography and text."--
