Twelve trees : the deep roots of our future / by Lewis, Daniel,1959-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."A compelling global exploration of nature and survival as seen via a dozen species of trees that represent the challenges facing our planet, and the ways that scientists are working urgently to save our forests and our future.The world today is undergoing the most rapid environmental transformation in human history--from climate change to deforestation. Scientists, ethnobotanists, indigenous peoples, and collectives of all kinds are closely studying trees and their biology to understand how and why trees function individually and collectively in the ways they do. In Twelve Trees, Daniel Lewis, curator and historian at one of the world's most renowned research libraries, travels the world to learn about these trees in their habitats. Lewis takes us on a sweeping journey to plant breeding labs, botanical gardens, research facilities, deep inside museum collections, to the tops of tall trees, underwater, and around the Earth, journeying into the deserts of the American west and the deep jungles of Peru, to offer a globe-spanning perspective on the crucial impact trees have on our entire planet. When a once-common tree goes extinct in the wild but survives in a botanical garden, what happens next? How can scientists reconstruct lost genomes and habitats? How does a tree store thousands of gallons of water, or offer up perfectly preserved insects from millions of years ago, or root itself in muddy swamps and remain standing? How does a 5,000-year-old tree manage to live, and what can we learn from it? And how can science account for the survival of one species at the expense of others? To study the science of trees is to study not just the present, but the story of the world, its past, and its future."--

Reach all readers : using the science of reading to transform your literacy instruction / by Geiger, Anna,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."According to a report published by EdWeek, 'just 35% of 4th graders are proficient readers'. There is a lack of literacy skills in the early childhood population by the time these students get to 4th grade. But where does this learning gap come from? The report also shows that educators are likely to use solely what they learn about literacy in professional development or school training when they teach literacy skills to their students, rather than doing research on their own to expand their knowledge of how to teach literacy. Many educators, especially early childhood educators, find the science of literacy hard to grasp. It is often difficult to see why certain approaches to teaching literacy are effective and why others aren't. Educators have plenty on their plates and often times do not have the bandwidth to study complicated literacy research articles to support what they learn in professional development & school trainings. They need a quick, concise way to learn about the science of literacy in a digestible way, and they need practical tools to help their students learn literacy skills in an engaging way"--
