Little Tree and the Wood Wide Web - Lucy Brownridge
Have you ever wondered if trees can communicate with each other? Well they can. Recently, scientists have discovered that forests communicate via underground networks of fungal threads knows as 'the wood wide web'. In this picture book for young children, we meet a little fir tree sapling who is stretching her first leaves into a dark ancient forest full of huge trees. She feels very lonely and she can't reach any light or water. Her worried feeling sinks down to the tips of her roots, which little does she know, are connected to the wood wide web. The fungal network sends her message all over the forest! "little tree needs help!" The message reaches mother trees who can't spare the energy from their own little ones, others who are sick and can't help but ultimately, one friendly paper birch tree helps her in her time of need. When the winter comes and birch tree needs help in return, the strong, not so little fir tree withe her evergreen leaves can come to the rescue. Our little tree learns that she is part of a loving, caring community, filled with family and kind strangers of entirely different species. She learns all ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Story Time for Kids with NLP by the English Sisters: The Little Grasshopper and the Big Ball of Dung - Violeta Zuggo, Jutka Zuggo
The Little Grasshopper and the Big Ball of Dung is the second book in a series of children''s books with NLP by The English Sisters, preceded by The Little Sparrow and the Chimney Pot. It is designed to appeal to young children and ideal for story time. The little grasshopper bumps into a wise dung beetle rolling a ball of dung up a big hill. The little grasshopper rather cheekily wants to do what the dung beetle is doing ''his way'' and has a go. He soon learns that it s not as easy as it looked. The little grasshopper then decides to listen to the wise dung beetle and models the dung beetle ''doing as he does''. At the end of the story he successfully models the dung beetles behaviour and achieves his desired outcome. Modelling excellence is at the heart of NLP. As humans we can model any behaviour by simply mastering the beliefs, the physiology and the thought processes that underline the skill or behaviour. For young children it is essential that these fundamental NLP skills are learnt so that they acquire the necessary skills for lifelong learning. The Little Grasshopper and the Ball of Dung is ...

A subversive and hilarious spin on the well-loved fairy tale.The three little wolves erect first a solid brick house.

The Camphor Tree and the Elephant - Faizah Zakaria
Uncovers a spiritual dimension in the transition to the AnthropoceneWhat is the role of religion in shaping interactions and relations between the human and nonhuman in nature? Why are Muslim and Christian organizations generally not a potent force in Southeast Asian environmental movements? The Camphor Tree and the Elephant brings these questions into the history of ecological change in the region, centering the roles of religion and colonialism in shaping the Anthropocene—“the human epoch.†Historian Faizah Zakaria traces the conversion of the Batak people in upland Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula to Islam and Christianity during the long nineteenth century. She finds that the process helped shape social structures that voided the natural world of enchantment, ushered in a cash economy, and placed the power to remake local landscapes into the hands of a distant elite. Using a wide array of sources such as family histories, prayer manuscripts, and folktales in tandem with colonial and ethnographic archives, Zakaria brings everyday religion and its far-flung implications into our understanding of the environmental history of the modern world.

Erica, a reckless young journalist, pursues passionate but abusive affairs with different women. Bea, a reserved secretary, grows increasingly obsessed with Erica, yet denial and shame keep her from recognizing her attraction. Only Bea’s discovery that Erica is half-Jewish and a member of the Dutch resistance—and thus in danger—brings her closer to accepting her own feelings.First published in 1954 in the Netherlands, Dola de Jong’s The Tree and the Vine was a groundbreaking work in its time for its frank and sensitive depiction of the love between two women, now available in a new translation.
