- The power of trees : how ancient forests can save us if we let them / by Wohlleben, Peter,1964-author.; Billinghurst, Jane,1958-translator.; translation of:Wohlleben, Peter,1964-Lange Atem der Bäume.English.; David Suzuki Institute.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."As human-caused climate change devastates the planet, forests play a critical role in keeping it habitable. While politicians and business leaders would have us believe that cutting down forests can be offset by mass tree planting, Wohlleben offers a warning: many tree planting campaigns lead to ecological disaster. Not only are these trees more susceptible to disease, flooding, fires, and landslides, we need to understand that forests are more than simply a collection of trees. Instead, they are ecosystems that consist of thousands of species, from animals to fungi and bacteria. The way to save trees, and ourselves? Step aside and let forests--which are naturally better equipped to face environmental challenges--heal themselves."--- Subjects: Forest conservation.; Forest ecology.; Old growth forest conservation.; Old growth forest ecology.; Trees;

- Cold earth / by Cleeves, Ann,author.;
In the dark days of a Shetland winter, torrential rain triggers a landslide that crosses the main Lerwick-Sumburgh road and sweeps down to the sea. At the burial of his old friend Magnus Tait, Jimmy Perez watches the flood of mud and peaty water smash through a croft house in its path. Everyone thinks the croft is uninhabited, but in the wreckage he finds the body of a dark-haired woman wearing a red silk dress. In his mind, she shares his Mediterranean ancestry and soon he becomes obsessed with tracing her identity. Then it emerges that she was already dead before the landslide hit the house. Perez knows he must find out who she was, and how she died.- Subjects: Detective and mystery fiction.; Perez, Jimmy (Fictitious character); Murder; Police;
