Lost Wonders Bok
<p>Many scientists believe that we are currently living through the Earth's sixth mass extinction, with species disappearing at a rate not seen for tens of millions of years - a trend that will only accelerate as climate change and other pressures intensify. What does it mean to live in such a time? And what exactly do we lose when a species goes extinct?<br/><br/>In <i>Lost Wonders</i> author and journalist Tom Lathan tells the stories of ten species that have lived, died out and been declared extinct since the turn of the twenty-first century. In a series of fascinating encounters with subjects that are now nowhere to be found on Earth - from giant tortoises to minuscule snails the size of sesame seeds, from ocean-hopping trees to fish that wag their tails like puppies - Lathan brings these lost wonders briefly back to life and gives us a tantalising glimpse of what we have lost within our own lifetime.<br/><br/>Drawing on the personal recollections of the people who studied these species, as well as those who tried but ultimately failed to save them, <i>Lost Wonders</i> is an intimate portrait of the species that have only recently vanished from our world and an urgent warning to hold on all the more tightly to those now slipping from our grasp.</p>

Wild Walking Bok
<b>Disconnect from the distractions of daily life and reconnect with nature with <i>Wild Walking</i>, an enticing and comprehensive introduction to forest bathing-or <i>Shinrin-yoku</i>, in Japan.</b><br/><br/>Full sensory immersion in the beauty and wonder of nature and trees can produce <b>mental, emotional, and physical health benefits</b>. Research has shown that forest bathing lowers blood pressure, pulse rate, and cortisol levels; improves mood; and may even boost our immunity to cancer and other diseases.<br/><br/><i>Wild Walking</i> invites you to experience the benefits of this healing practice for yourself. Learn the<b> history and background </b>of forest bathing, followed by <b>detailed instructions for establishing a forest bathing practice </b>in your own adopted "wild home," encompassed in three steps:<br/><br/>1. Disengagement from your daily routine<br/>2. Deep breathing and nature connection through a series of quiet activities or "invitations"<br/>3. Transitioning back to your daily life<br/><br/>This restorative activity <b>can be enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities</b>: children, teenagers, and even senior citizens with limited mobility and people recovering from illness and surgery. And you don't need to travel to the Japanese alps to experience the benefits of forest bathing. <b>All you need is a small patch of untouched (or lightly touched) nature</b> to adopt as your "wild home."<br/><br/>Within, find <b>practical tips and inspiration for forest bathing through the seasons</b>: in the winter, when the leafless trees open up new vistas; in the spring, when you can hear the melodious serenade of song birds as they nest in the newly formed green canopy; in the summer, watching the butterflies nectaring on wildflowers; and in the autumn, when you can catch glimpses of hurried squirrels storing food for the winter.<br/><br/><i>Wild Walking</i> introduces a variety of activities that can be enhanced with forest bathing elements, such as mindfulness practices, exercise, art and writing, and outdoor celebrations. Learn, too, how surrendering to the mysteries of nature can <b>provide guidance through difficult times</b>.<br/><br/>As you find nourishment in nature, you will instinctively begin to wonder<b> how you can preserve and protect this healing resource</b>. This guide includes suggestions for tending to your "wild home."<br/><br/>Illustrated throughout with <b>enchanting artwork</b> and stunning <b>nature photography</b>, <i>Wild Walking </i>is the perfect guide to enhancing your life with the wondrous world of nature.
