Blackwood / by Smith, Michael F.(Michael Farris),1970-author.;
"The town of Red Bluff, Mississippi, has seen better days. Once a peaceable town, it has devolved into a landscape of fear and ghosts--of regret and violence--transformed by the kudzu vines that have enveloped the hills around it, swallowing entire homes, cars, and rivers. Myer, the county's sardonic lawman, still thinks it can prove itself. When confronted by a strange family of drifters, he believes that the people of Red Bluff can be accepting, rational, even good. His faith is tested--first when townsfolk respond to the disappearance of two young boys, and then by the appearance of Colburn, a damaged artist who has recently returned to Red Bluff after fleeing as a teenager. Colburn, having fallen in love with the fiery local bar owner, does his best to make amends with his past, only to suffer a greater rupture when his beloved also disappears into the kudzu. His quest to find Celia as well as the boys brings him in direct conflict with the law, and with the dark heart that beats beneath the undergrowth of the forest. Blackwood is the haunting story of a people crippled by the weight of generations--at once nourished and entrapped by the vegabond heart of the Deep South."--Jacket flap.

The last stand [videorecording] / by Coyote, Peter,narrator.; Davis, Wade,on-screen participant.; Puttkamer, Peter von,screenwriter,film director.; Salazar, Leila,on-screen participant.; Buffalo 8 Productions,publisher.;
Narrated by Peter Coyote ; Wade Davis, Leila Salazar.THE LAST STAND for Trees is about saving the world's last remaining ancient forests. Using the flash-point of British Columbia's "Battle for the Trees" at FAIRY CREEK- the documentary examines the importance of keeping intact forest ecosystems: here in North America, the Amazon and around the world. Experts like Wade Davis and Leila Salazar-Lopez speak about the impact trees/plants have on our atmosphere, including Carbon sequestration and providing Oxygen for us to breathe. Incorporating unique-access footage at the front-lines of Fairy Creek protests, to block Logging of the last 3% of BC's old growth, the film does not pull punches. We hear the impassioned words of front-line forest defenders, as well as global forestry experts. The film reveals the complexity of issues facing the world: the need to protect habitat, while balancing economies and jobs, while also recognizing the rights of First Nations' people controlling resources in their territories. Finally, The Last Stand for Trees looks at solutions ... both from cutting edge Silicon Valley companies building carbon-retaining technology, to things average citizens can do, to help save jungles/forests and the Planet.E.DVD ; wide screen presentation ; Dolby Digital.

Guardians of the trees : a journey of hope through healing the planet / by Webb, Kinari,author.;
"A "magnificent, empowering" (Bill McKibben) memoir about a woman spearheading a global initiative to heal the world's rainforests and the communities who depend on them When Kinari Webb first traveled to Indonesian Borneo at 21 to study orangutans, she was both awestruck by the beauty of her surroundings and heartbroken by the rainforest destruction she witnessed. As she got to know the local communities, she realized that their need to pay for expensive healthcare led directly to the rampant logging, which in turn imperiled their health and safety even further. Webb realized her true calling was at the intersection of medicine and conservation. After graduating with honors from the Yale School of Medicine, Webb returned to Borneo, listening to local communities about their solutions for how to both protect the rainforests and improve their lives. Founding two non-profits, Health in Harmony in the U.S. and ASRI in Indonesia, Webb and her local and international teams partnered with rainforest communities, building a clinic, developing regenerative economies, providing educational opportunities, and dramatically transforming the region. But just when everything was going right, Webb was stung by a deadly box jellyfish and would spend the next four years fighting for her life, a fight that would lead her to rethink everything. Was she ready to expand her work to a global scale and take climate change head on? Full of hope and optimism, Webb takes us on an exhilarating, galvanizing journey across the world, sharing her passion for the natural world and for humanity. In our current moment of crisis, Guardians of the Trees is an essential roadmap for moving forward and the inspiring story of one woman's quest to heal the world"--
