Dispersals On Plants, Borders, and Belonging [electronic resource] : by Lee, Jessica J..aut; Lee, Jessica J..nrt; cloudLibrary;
INSTANT TORONTO STAR BESTSELLER The prize-winning and bestselling author of Two Trees Make a Forest turns to the lives of plants entangled in our human world to explore belonging, displacement, identity, and the truths of our shared future A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A tree is planted on a precarious border. A shrub is stolen from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? The themes in these fourteen essays become invigorating and intimate in Lee’s hands, centering on the lives of plants like seaweed, tangelos, and soy, and their entanglement with our human worlds. Lee explores the rich backstory of cherry trees in Berlin; a tea plant that grows in the Himalayan foothills just southwest of China; the world of algae and wakame, and the journeys they’ve made to reach us. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being “out of place”—weeds, samples collected through imperial science, crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Lee looks at these plant species in their own context, even when we find them outside of it. Dispersals draws a gorgeous, sprawling map of the diaspora of flora. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong, why both cross borders, and how our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

The tree collectors : tales of arboreal obsession / by Stewart, Amy,author.;
"The Japanese practice of forest bathing, shinrin-yoku, changes the levels of stress and pleasure hormones in the body, decreasing cortisol and increasing serotonin. Tree collectors know this. And if being around one tree feels good, their thinking goes, imagine how a hundred trees would feel. In her first botanical nonfiction in more than a decade, Amy Stewart brings us on a captivating tour of tree collectors around the world asking: what drives one to collect something as enormous, majestic, and deeply-rooted as a tree? In her gentle, intimate, slyly humorous way, Stewart brings these people to life, organizing their stories into categories. There are the community builders -- like Shyam Sunder Paliwal who, after the death of his daughter, began a movement in his Rajasthan village to plant 111 trees whenever a girl was born -- who do the remarkable work of knitting people together under an arboreal canopy. There are seekers who have taken their passion for trees around the world, or even into space. There are visionaries -- the former poet laureate, W.S. Merwin, who planted a tree a day for over three decades, until he had turned a barren estate into a palm sanctuary. And there are healers -- like Joe Hamilton, who plants trees on land passed down to him by his formerly enslaved great-grandfather -- who have found a way to heal their own lives, the lives of others, or even wounds of the past, by planting trees"--
