Oaklore: Adventures in a World of Extraordinary Trees
Greystone Books 2024 264, col illus. . HB. NEW. . What connects Robin Hood, the history of ink, fungi, Shakespeare and sorcery?In this book, Jules Acton, an ambassador for The Woodland Trust, explores the incredibly diverse history of the 'king of the woods': from a source of food and shelter to its use in literature as a plot device and muse, its role as an essential ingredient in ink, and in mythology from across the British Isles as a sacred plant and precious resource.Acton's infectious enthusiasm shines through in chapters that open with excerpts from oak-y poems, as well as tips for connecting with nature - like how to recognize bird songs and help moths and butterflies thrive.Meeting fellow oak-lovers along the way, and trees like Sherwood Forest's Medusa Oak or the gargantuan Marton Oak in Cheshire, Acton plots an unforgettable journey through the tangled roots of the oak's story, and that of Britain itself.'As rich, satisfying and revelatory as a long walk in the woods.' Peter Wohlleben, author of <i>The Hidden Life of Trees</i>. [9781771649667]

Verlag Kessel 2012 310, 180 col + b/w photos, distribution maps. . PB. NEW. . The eastern Mediterranean Basin has a rich woody flora including Mediterranean-type vegetation and locally mesomorphic woody taxa.

Wood Anatomy of Eastern Mediterranean Species aims to make a contribution to the wood anatomy world by presenting the wood anatomical characteristics of some species of the eastern Mediterranean basin, mainly of Turkey. Anatomical features are given together with some main results of the relating studies here. 106 species from 67 genera from mainly the Mediterranean region of Turkey are included in this book.Also includes IAWA (International Associate of Wood Anatomists) Index for each species, and an identification key for the 67 genera to help in the identification of the woods from this region..

English Orchards: A Landscape History
Oxbow Books 2022 224, b/w + col illus. 246x185mm. PB. NEW. . Old orchards have an irresistible appeal. Their ancient trees and obscure fruit varieties seem to provide a direct link with the lost rural world of our ancestors, a time when the pace of life was slower and people had a strong and intimate connection with their local environment. They are also of critical importance for sustaining biodiversity, providing habitats, in particular, for a range of rare invertebrates. Not surprisingly, orchards and the fruit they contain have attracted an increasing amount of attention over the last few decades, from both enthusiastic bands of amateurs and official conservation bodies. But much of what has been written about them is historically vague, romanticised and nostalgic. Orchards have become a symbol of unspoilt, picturesque rural England.This book attempts, for the first time, to provide a comprehensive review of the development of orchards in England from the Middle Ages to the present day. It describes the various different kinds of orchard and explains how, and when, they appeared in the landscape and why they have disappeared, at a catastrophic rate, over the last six decades. Chapters discuss the contrasting histories of fruit growing in different regions of England, the complex story of 'traditional' fruit varieties and the role of orchards in wildlife conservation. In addition, a chapter on researching orchards provides a practical guide for those wishing to investigate the history and archaeology of particular examples.. [9781914427190]
