Wohlleben Peter
L'orologio della natura. Prevedere il tempo comprendere le stagioni capire gli animali e le piante conoscere l'ambiente in cui viviamo
br. Lasciati guidare dai tuoi sensi. Ti piacerebbe imparare a prevedere il tempo basandoti sui segnali che la natura ci lancia? Oppure comprendere gli animali e le piante che ci circondano? Peter Wohlleben ci invita a educare i sensi per percepire i segnali del vento, delle nuvole, delle piante e degli animali. Fuori dalla nostra porta di casa avvengono migliaia di piccoli e grandi fenomeni, belli e affascinanti, quasi magici, dobbiamo solo imparare a percepirli, alla scoperta della natura. Possiamo capire che tempo farà osservando i fiori, le calendule possono dirci che ore sono e le gru, sapendo come guardarle, si trasformano in termometri viventi. Impara a gioire delle esperienze entusiasmanti e rilassanti che la natura ci offre ogni giorno, e fai della natura la tua più cara insegnante: sarà in grado di fornirti utili indicazioni per la cura del giardino, dalle varietà da piantare fino alla protezione invernale, passando per l'innaffiatura. Peter Wohlleben, convinto ambientalista e guardia forestale, in questo libro ci illustra i risvolti scientifici dei fenomeni quotidiani e di famose regole contadine, fa piazza pulita di alcune leggende e mette in guardia da interventi che determinano importanti conseguenze nel mondo animale e vegetale. Un manuale ricco di divertentissimi aneddoti e preziose informazioni, ma soprattutto un appassionato appello a rispettare e vivere pienamente la natura che ci circonda. "Il motivo principale che mi ha spinto a scrivere questo libro è stato quello di aumentare il piacere e il relax che si provano in giardino. È così bello prendere coscienza di cose a cui finora non avevamo prestato alcuna attenzione, è così emozionante intuire i cambiamenti nelle condizioni meteorologiche e nel regno vegetale e animale prima ancora che avvengano! Quando andiamo in giro con tutti i sensi attivati, la natura ci è più che mai vicina, e l'antico legame fra noi e il nostro ambiente può essere riallacciato" (Peter Wohlleben).

Wohlleben Peter
La rete invisibile della natura
ril. Il mondo che ci circonda è come un grande orologio: tutti gli ingranaggi sono perfettamente collegati tra loro, e ogni componente è decisiva per il tutto. Eppure è impossibile non rimanere stupefatti scoprendo le inaspettate sorprese che la natura riserva: sembra incredibile, ma esistono alberi capaci di modificare la rotazione terrestre, lupi in grado di deviare il corso dei fiumi e persino lombrichi fondamentali per la sopravvivenza dei cinghiali. Ma in che modo animali e piante, foreste e mari, montagne e cambiamenti climatici riescono a influenzarsi a vicenda? Osservatore scrupoloso e narratore appassionato, Peter Wohlleben ci mostra le connessioni alla base del sistema complesso di cui siamo parte; e grazie a decenni di esperienze come guardia forestale passate al vaglio delle più recenti scoperte scientifiche, ci rende consapevoli dei rischi che l'intervento sconsiderato dell'uomo ha sul fragile equilibrio del nostro prezioso pianeta.

Wohlleben Peter
La saggezza degli alberi
ill., ril. Sono gli esseri viventi più forti e resistenti del nostro pianeta, quelli più longevi, eppure della vita degli alberi sappiamo molto poco. A tratti però intuiamo che dietro quella loro corteccia ruvida si possono celare segreti a prima vista inaccessibili. Peter Wohlleben ci svela nel suo libro i misteri più affascinanti di questi giganti: scopriamo che sono dotati di forme di comunicazione e sensibilità sorprendenti; che sono solitamente esseri prudenti, ai quali ogni forma di fretta è estranea; che gli esemplari di una stessa specie tendono ad allearsi, a difendersi l'uno l'altro o a sostenere i malati (ma questo non accade nel caso degli alberi piantati dall'uomo); scopriamo che le betulle sono delle egoiste guerriere solitarie, ma anche che questo carattere impulsivo ha il suo prezzo, limitando la loro speranza di vita a 120 anni, che per gli alberi è molto bassa; oppure che il faggio tende a crescere a tal punto da aprirsi un varco tra le chiome di altre specie per poi oscurarle con il suo fogliame finché i concorrenti oppressi non muoiono. "La saggezza degli alberi" è il racconto di un mondo che credevamo di conoscere ma che invece è ancora tutto da decifrare, un libro ricco di sorprese su essere viventi che ci somigliano molto più di quanto non crediamo.

Wohlleben Peter
La saggezza del bosco
ril. Romantico e poetico angolo dove ritirarsi per godere della sua ombra e simbolo di natura incontaminata: ecco cos'è il bosco nel nostro immaginario. Eppure questi luoghi splendidi stanno diventando, per colpa dell'inquinamento e dello sfruttamento da parte dell'uomo, sempre più rari. Peter Wohlleben ci dimostra che un diverso e più sano rapporto con la natura che ci circonda è possibile e necessario, descrivendo in che modo possiamo proteggere il fragile ecosistema di una foresta per scoprire che anche le piante comunicano, provano sentimenti, si aiutano fra loro. Partendo da quello che la sua lunga esperienza di forestale gli ha insegnato, e cogliendo la possibilità di accompagnarlo lungo i sentieri incontaminati della riserva di Hümmel, in Germania, che gestisce personalmente, possiamo immergerci in una lettura affascinante e ricca di avventure, un vero e proprio viaggio alla scoperta della natura più selvaggia e autentica, per imparare a prenderci cura degli alberi e, quindi, di noi stessi.

Wohlleben Peter
La vita segreta degli alberi. Cosa mangiano. Quando dormono e parlano. Come si riproducono. Perché si ammalano e come guariscono
ill., br. Per molte persone il bosco è un luogo di sogno, il simbolo del silenzio e della natura incontaminata. Peter Wohlleben, celebre guardia forestale, grazie alla sua esperienza ci introduce alla vita nascosta degli alberi, svelandoci un segreto sorprendente: gli alberi, come gli altri esseri viventi, sono dotati di memoria, parlano tra loro, provano emozioni e possono perfino essere soggetti a scottature solari e rughe. Per esempio le querce comunicano per mezzo di sostanze chimiche odorose: se un albero subisce un'infestazione da insetti, emana segnali olfattivi su un'area abbastanza vasta e tutti gli esemplari che ricevono il messaggio si preparano a respingere l'attacco, depositando nel giro di pochi minuti speciali sostanze amare che mettono in fuga gli insetti. Nel bosco, quindi, accadono le cose più stupefacenti. Gli alberi, non solo comunicano fra loro, ma circondano la prole di amorevoli cure, si preoccupano dei vecchi vicini malati, provano sensazioni ed emozioni e hanno i loro ricordi. Peter Wohlleben traccia un sentiero nella foresta intricata e dischiude ai nostri occhi un universo sorprendente e misterioso: nelle sue affascinanti storie sulle insospettate capacità degli alberi, l'autore dà spazio alle più recenti scoperte scientifiche oltre che alle sue esperienze dirette. Un libro istruttivo sugli alberi e le foreste, che ci insegna a provare un rinnovato stupore per i prodigi della natura.

WOJTECH MICHAEL; WESSELS TOM FOREWORD
Bark: A Field Guide To Trees Of The Northeast
University Press of New England Hanover: 2011. Softcover. Brand new book. What kind of tree is that From Maine to New York you'll never be stumped again with this handy companion to the trees of the Northeast either out in the woods or in your own backyard. Many people know how to identify trees by their leaves but what about when those leaves have fallen or are out of reach With detailed information and illustrations covering each phase of a tree's lifecycle this indispensable guidebook explains how to identify trees by their bark alone. Chapters on the structure and ecology of tree bark descriptions of bark appearance an easy-to-use identification key and supplemental information on non-bark characteristics�all enhanced by over 450 photographs illustrations and maps�will show you how to distinguish the textures shapes and colors of bark to recognize various tree species and also understand why these traits evolved. Whether you're a professional naturalist or a parent leading a family hike Bark: A Field Guide to Trees of the Northeast is your essential guide to the region's 67 native and naturalized tree species. Michael Wojtech edited the journal Whole Terrain and now researches writes and teaches about trees and other aspects of natural history. He lives with his family in the woods of western Massachusetts. "The section on how bark is formed and the discussion of possible advantages of different bark styles�thick bark protects from fire; photosynthesis can take place beneath thin bark�help prepare the reader for the serious business of identifying a tree just by looking carefully at its bark. But this is not as daunting a task as you might imagine: the detailed keys and descriptions and the excellent photographs make matching bark to tree an enjoyable and gratifying process."�Virginia Barlow co-editor Northern Woodlands "Bark�the tissue and the book�is elegant. As part of a tree's basic structure bark is always present is critical to a tree's function and survival and provides a diagnostic feature unique to every species. This surprising and engaging volume enhances one's vision for trees and the diverse natural history that they support. Delve into it to expand your awareness and comprehension of nature." �David R. Foster Director Harvard Forest Harvard University "For too long the barks of trees have been relegated to the naturalist's back burner but now Michael Wojtech has brought them forward and whipped them into a forested feast for our eyes. I encourage anyone who picks this book up to go forth and just as I did more than fifty years ago become acquainted with your sylvan neighbors by the wonderful ways they cloak their strong frames." - Tom Wessels from the Foreword University Press of New England, Hanover: 2011 paperback

Bamboo - the Amazing grass. A Guide to the Diversity and Study of Bamboos in Southeast Asia.
Sabah 2004. Well illustrated small 8vo pp x 80 paperback a very good copy. Structure flowering identification conservation. This well-illustrated book introduces the bamboos of Southeast Asia a region well known for its incredible range of bamboo utilization and diversity. The author a bamboo specialist in Malaysia discusses the salient aspects of bamboo structure biology and conservation and provides brief perspectives into the sometimes difficult tasks of bamboo classification and identification. Bamboos are notoriously difficult for botanists to study because of the rarity of flowering material in many cases and the incomplete state of earlier reference collections on which many species names have been based. Field studies into their variation and of their basic biological attributes have also been scarce. Yet they hold immense fascination because they are such a useful group of plants that are linked to both traditional life and modern innovative use.Ever wondered where to get a not-too-long yet adequate introduction to what bamboos are Here is an inexpensive book that gives just that plus an insider's perspective of the way bamboos are special in Southeast Asia.

The Genus Saurauia in Borneo - a revision with 62 new species
Kota Kinabalu 2017. Well illustrated with colour photographs and botanical line drawings large octavo pp x 310 a very good hardback copy new in dustwrapper. Saurauia Willd. Actinidiaceae is revised for Borneo with the first identification key to 85 species including 62 new species and 3 new varieties recognised for that island. The account is based on a study of nearly 1500 collections not including duplicates and lectotypifications for 12 species binomials are made. The key characteristics of Saurauia morphology of Bornean taxa and a number of natural history aspects in this otherwise little-studied genus are discussed. In Borneo most of the species are forest understorey in adaptation with a few preferring more exposed conditions such as gaps or forest fringes; only Saurauia kinabaluensis Merr. is known to reach nearly 20 m in height. The cauliflorous habit which seems prevalent among Bornean species appears to be an important adaptation that ensures frequent intermittent or near-continuous flowering possibly advantageous to understorey plants in terms of their reproductive ecology in the largely sheltered environment of the rainforest understorey. First Edition. Pictorial boards. New/New. Hardcover

The Genus Melastoma in Borneo including 31 new species
Kota Kinabalu 2016. Well illustrated slim octavo pp 184 picorial laminated boards a very good new copy in dustwrapper. It was thought that only nine species of Melastoma existed on the island of Borneo in 2001. The present account enumerates 41 including 31 new species providing the taxonomic bases for the significant changes in species recognition and classification. Melastoma is more than a genus of plants with attractive flowers and horticultural potential. Its diversity mirrors that of the fascinating plant life found across the varied Bornean landscape and how an evolving expanding genus has filled ecological niches on one of the world�s iconic tropical islands. Besides the regionally widespread Melastoma malabathricum the other 40 species are all endemic to Borneo. They are noticeably diverse in the Northwest Borneo hotspot southwest Sabah Brunei and Sarawak and on Mount Kinabalu but include many rare and little-known species that are part of the inherent richness harboured by tropical lowland ecosystems. Continuing conservation approaches need to be informed about the number of species there are and where these are known to occur. This taxonomic revision provides that essential window to a remarkable plant genus and the unfolding or remaining possibilities for experimentation horticulture and conservation. First Edition. Pictorial laminated boards. New/New. Hardcover
