The soaring life of the lark…
Skylarks are the heralds of an English countryside. Their music is the quintessential sound of spring. Their spirit inspires poets, composers & farmers. In the trenches of World Wars, they were a reminder of the chattering meadows at home. We watch as they climb the sky, delight in their joyful singing. The Soaring life of the Lark explores the music & poetry, the breath-taking heights & struggle to survive of one of Britain’s most iconic songbirds. Beautiful.
The heartbeat of trees…
In The Heartbeat of Trees, renowned forester Peter Wohlleben draws on scientific discoveries to show how we are deeply connected to our natural world. In an era of climate change, we fear having lost our connection with nature. But, age old ties linking humans to the forest remain alive & intact. We just have to know where to look. Explore the language of the forest, the consciousness of plants, the eroding boundary between flora & fauna. We learn how to see, feel, smell, hear, even taste the forest. Peter Wohlleben reveals a wondrous cosmos where humans are a part of nature, where conservation & environmental activism is not just about saving trees. It’s about saving ourselves. Inspires us to embrace our ancient bond with forest & nature.
