Spyridium fontis-woodii (WWS) is the most endangered native Australian flora and fauna, listed on the Commonwealth of Australia Critically Endangered List in 2021, with only nine plants in one extant roadside left in the wild. Students at Wilderness School, Adelaide, South Australia, have been involved in germinating, propagating and translocating WWS to try and re-establish other wild populations, through their involvement with the SeedsSA program in conjunction with the South Australian Botanic Gardens. The Schools Year 9 REALISE program is pivotal in this project, and is an example of the interconnection of STEM subjects, Art, Outdoor Education and Conservation.

Historias humanas y hallazgos científicos que dan una visión completa del complejo mundo químico que atesoran las plantas.No existe nada tan falaz como la mansedumbre de una planta. Acostumbrados a su liviana y silenciosa compañia, narcotizados por los colores y los aromas que gritan sus flores, en pocas ocasiones somos conscientes de que estamos ante los mas expertos alquimistas de la naturaleza. El mundo vegetal oculta prodigiosas sustancias que pueden mitigar el dolor y el sufrimiento humano, capaces de curar enfermedades y, a la vez, arrancarnos la vida en un suspiro. Una planta puso fin a la existencia del mejor de los hombres; otra acompaño a Marco Aurelio durante sus largas meditaciones; y Freud creyo encontrar una sustancia milagrosa en la misma planta que a muchos otros ha conducido a la muerte.En las paginas de este libro recurriremos a la ciencia, la historia y la antropologia para desvelar muchos de los secretos, algunos ya revelados y otros todavia por descubrir, que esconden las plantas bajo su bella e inofensiva apariencia. Secretos cuya naturaleza quimica es capaz de provocarnos las mas potentes adicciones, esconder los farmacos mas prometedores e imaginar los mas letales venenos.

Introduction We all have the need to nurture and care for other living things. Maybe you arent ready for a cat, dog, or fish, but bringing home a houseplant can fulfill that need. Place a plant on the windowsill and it will add living beauty to your home. Wake up every day and it will greet you as it cleans the air and improves your mood. Houseplants ask for so little but add so much life to a home. The care of that green friend falls solely on the owner. Being successful in that undertaking is important, so our hope is this book can help you keep your green roommate alive, healthy, and vibrant. There is no such thing as a natural green thumb. Many believe either you are born with one or not. The claim of having a brown or black thumb has had many dead plants placed at its doorstep. Yet having a green thumb is just a matter of paying attention to the needs of your plants and noticing when they are trying to tell you something. Killing a plant or two (or more) is not a crime, and can be a good learning experience. Dont be discouraged, as growing beautiful plants is easy if you have the time and pay attention to their specific needs, and this book will show you how to do that. Time restraints are another popular excuse as to why someone has no plants in their home. One easy plant can take less than five minutes a week to care for, and the benefits it brings will lead to a desire for more greenery in your life. Having plants continually die leads to frustration and possibly plastic plants. Not acceptable. When a few key components such as lighting preference, water, and placement are understood and correctly executed, your plants will thrive. Liking and being successful with plants has more rewards than are always apparent. Plants have been proven to clean the air around us. B. C. Wolverton, a NASA scientist, conducted many experiments in the 1980s and found that plants remove VOCsvolatile organic chemicalsfrom our indoor environments. These chemicals can come from carpet, paint, manufactured furniture, household cleaning products, and more. One plant can remove most of the VOCs from a 100-square-foot area. An important aspect of owning houseplants is the undeniable therapy that caring for plants affords us. In this uncertain, sometimes scary, fast-paced world, slowing down to care for something that is dependent on us can be therapeutic. Pick up a plant, remove dead leaves, check the growing medium for water, and wash the leaves with a soft cloth or sponge. Move quietly from plant to plant, or maybe you prefer to sing, hum, or talk to your plants. No judgment here. One plant may become many more when the time it takes to care for one plant isnt enough to untangle the knots from the day. Many professional people own large collections of plants for just this reason. Working with their plants takes them away from the enormous stress of their jobs. As Elvin McDonald wrote in his book Plants as Therapy, "I believe that plants have enormous potential for maintaining emotional stability and . . . improving the lives of human beings." Nothing truer can be said. Quite often, if you have a problem with a houseplant, you search online for information and help. But not every piece of information floating around on the Internet is true or pertinent to the specific plant for which you are caring. The information in this book will dispel the myths and misinformation about successfully raising houseplants. Plant societies are another good source of information. If you wish to learn as much as you can about a family of plants, such as cacti and other succulents, orchids, or African violets, join a plant society in your area. The people in these clubs have usually been growing those plants for a long time. Nothing beats the hands-on knowledge of people who have successfully grown a family of plants. Because they love their plants, they are more than willing to share their expertise. They want you to succeed with your plants.

Introduction This book teaches a theory and practice of two natural healing methods used in China. Every branch of Chinese medicine is holistic, but there are countless beds of possible holistic interconnection. To achieve greater synergy, they must be integrated in accordance with the principles contained herein. So these methods are used with greater advantages in China, with some variations, as you can learn them Chapter 1 and everywhere PART 2. The book is presented in two distinct parts, more closely intertwined, and follows the guidance of many wise professors who have the privilege of knowing over decades of study. Two central ideas were repeatedly found and, some teachers embodied them as formulas in a different way, the essential meanings were always the same. The first central idea is "To learn any practice or discipline, you need both a solid intellectual understanding and a solid foundation in its practical application." Everyone agrees that one s own practice (Qigong, Taiji, healing exercises, acupressure) or the application of the method (acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapies) is the ultimate goal. Greater intellectual understanding may support greater practical ability, but it is valuable to the extent that it serves to promote that enterprise. If not, it may provide some interesting conversations, but it won t tangentially improve your health and life. A second central idea is "Mastery means mastery or basic." Basic principles are the reason for theory and practice. A broad, solid foundation provides stability for quality construction and growth. Even if you choose to build only one base, that will be your base in any time of difficulty. PART 1, "Teorias Fundamentais da Medicina Chinesa", presents the theoretical foundations of all Chinese medical science and philosophy. Embora is not as detailed as a medical book, it is quite extensive for two reasons. It provides the intellectual core necessary to understand and realize, and deeply familiarize the Western reader with a different way of seeing the world, from a Chinese perspective. The concepts and practices taught throughout this book arise from a cultural perspective and, if we want to learn to apply those practices in our daily lives, it will be necessary to make some effort to abandon our own cultural preconceits and see things with new eyes. The details in Part 1 are intended to facilitate that change in perception. A majority of PART 2, "Holistic Self-Care with Chinese Medicine," carefully teaches the practical foundations of two Chinese holistic self-care methods using the principles learned in Part 1 and offers plenty of room to grow as you become more adept at each. Doing practices regularly is the most important thing and, in the final analysis, leads to the domain, giving you the simple, most valuable and effective options to assume or control your health in a variety of natural and holistic ways. These are methods that you can use forever and that greatly reduce the likelihood of needing to see any doctor, whether Chinese or Western.

Una obra que nos sumerge en la Historia ambiental, el maravilloso mundo de las sendas boscosas.Durante las últimas décadas, las humanidades se han aproximado de forma más determinante al mundo vegetal y se han nutrido de las ciencias naturales para ahondar en el conocimiento de las plantas. Aventurarse en los bosques y las selvas supone indagar en la interrelacion entre el ser humano y el ecosistema. En esta fascinante obra, concebida como un viaje a traves de la espesura, Lucia Triviño escrudiña cada rincon de los multiples bosques para poner de manifiesto de que manera el entorno natural ha impactado en el desarrollo humano y viceversa, al tiempo que revindica el papel de la historia ambiental dentro de los estudios humanisticos.

Nunca volverás a mirar la naturaleza de la misma forma.El reino vegetal sigue siendo un misterio, a pesar de que vivimos rodeados de plantas. Durante siglos, hemos estudiado su influencia en nuestro entorno y, sin embargo, seguimos condenandolas a un papel secundario, a ser un mero elemento decorativo en nuestras freneticas vidas. Aunque las plantas no tengan cerebro ni se muevan como nosotros, la ciencia de vanguardia esta revelando descubrimientos sorprendentes sobre ellas: pueden aprender, recordar, comunicarse, reconocer a sus iguales, evaluar riesgos y tomar decisiones, y tienen algo que bien podriamos definir como personalidad.Planta sapiens ofrece una perspectiva creativa y audaz sobre la biologia vegetal y la ciencia cognitiva. Partiendo de experimentos realizados con las tecnologias mas avanzadas, este ensayo apasionante nos invita a pensar el mundo natural de una manera radicalmente distinta. Catedratico de Filosofia de la Ciencia, director del Laboratorio de Inteligencia Minima (MINT Lab) de la Universidad de Murcia y experto internacional en su campo, Paco Calvo narra con rigor cientifico y pasion contagiosa decenas de anecdotas sorprendentes convirtiendo un estudio pionero en un libro alucinante (The Guardian).
