Discover the secretive world of trees in Jonathan Drori's number one bestseller... Bestselling author and environmentalist Jonathan Drori follows in the footsteps of Phileas Fogg as he tells the stories of 80 magnificent trees from all over the globe. In Around the World in 80 Trees, Jonathan Drori uses plant science to illuminate how trees play a role in every part of human life, from the romantic to the regrettable. From the trees of Britain (this is a top search term), to India's sacred banyan tree, they offer us sanctuary and inspiration - not to mention the raw materials for everything from aspirin to maple syrup. Stops on the trip include the lime trees of Berlin's Unter den Linden boulevard, which intoxicate amorous Germans and hungry bees alike, the swankiest streets in nineteenth-century London, which were paved with Australian eucalyptus wood, and the redwood forests of California, where the secret to the trees' soaring heights can be found in the properties of the tiniest drops of water. Each of these strange and true tales - populated by self-mummifying monks, tree-climbing goats and ever-so-slightly radioactive nuts - is illustrated by Lucille Clerc, taking the reader on a journey that is as informative as it is beautiful. The book combines history, science and a wealth of quirky detail - there should be surprises for everyone. Perfect for fans of Peter Wohlleben's The Hidden Life of Trees, this new book will certainly whet the appetite of any tree lover to take an around-the-world trip, or simply visit your local botanic garden. The perfect travel guide for nature enthusiasts.
Nu tilgængelig i en kompakt og prisvenlig ny udgave.Den første samlede fortælling om dansk lampedesign.Lampedesign fejres nu med rette som den hjørnesten i Danish Design, som den er. Gamle lamper købes til høje priser, ældre modeller relanceres som designikoner – og rigtig mange læsere savner en god introduktion til lampernes særlige designhistorie.Denne bog er den første udgivelse, der udelukkende fokuserer på dansk lampedesign. Med afsæt i Poul Henningsens ikoniske ’PH-lampe’ udfolder bogen 100 fortællinger om dansk lampedesign, der gennem tekst og billeder udbreder historierne bag de enkelte designs. Bogen introducerer læseren for de opfindelser, der skabte grundlaget for de første revolutionerende lyskilder: fra udviklingen af olie- og gaslamper frem til kulminationen sidst i 1800-tallet, de elektriske glødepærer, der kom med funktionalismens indtog i Skandinavien, for til sidst at præsentere sin læser for LED lys- og lampedesign i dag.Det enestående for dansk belysningskultur er, at belysning og hygge er tæt forbundet. Dansk lampedesign handler ikke kun om form. Dermed er formålet for den moderne danske lampe ikke blot at give lys, men fortsat skabte smukke designobjekter, at både pryde og give et hyggeligt lys i de danske hjem.
