Combining both hands-on practicality and garden philosophy, Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a self-described "renegade scientist," appeals to the hearts and minds of gardeners everywhere.Arboretum America's goal is both lofty and down to earth: the salvation of the planet---through the planting of trees. There are many books on both of these subjects. Some warn, some inform, while others meditate on the disappearance of the forests or the meaning of trees. Few books, though, touch on so many aspects of trees, including ways to use them in garden design, as Arboretum America does.Beresford-Kroeger's remedy is what she calls the Bioplan. The plan consists of how each of twenty different tree groups relates to its natural environment and how these specific trees can be used to promote health or to counteract the effects of pollution and global warming. The plan also reveals the fascinating history of these trees in Native American culture, including their medicinal uses. Finally, the Bioplan offers practical design ideas and tips---where to plant these trees, what season they look best in, what native plants complement them---as well as organic care and how to grow them.Beresford-Kroeger captures the magic spell that trees cast over us. Yet her holistic approach urges us to think big while acting locally, so that we may someday restore the forest primeval.Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a botanist, medical and agricultural researcher, lecturer, and self-defined "renegade scientist" in the fields of classical botany, medical biochemistry, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. She lives in Ontario, Canada.

In this riveting memoir, she uncovers the roots of her discoveries in her extraordinary childhood in Ireland. Soon after, her brilliant mind bloomed into an illustrious scientific career that melds the intricacies of the natural world with the truths of traditional Celtic wisdom. To Speak for the Trees uniquely blends the story of Beresford-Kroeger’s incredible life and her outstanding achievement as a scientist. It elegantly shows us how forests can not only heal us as people but can also help save the planet.

A world expert on how trees chemically affect our environment, Diana Beresford-Kroeger has woven together ecology, ancient myth, horticulture, spirituality, science and alternative medicine in The Global Forest to capture their enormous significance to us - and our future. From enormous native Savannah trees that create their own sunscreen to hedgerows that contain and entire chain of life, this book shows us the power of the global forest. Trees absorb pollutants from the ground, comb particulates from the air and house beneficial insects. But what they do chemically in the environment is something we're only beginning to understand. Trees not only breathe and communicate; they also reproduce, heal and even nurture, and each of these forty interlocking essays picks out a different aspect of the life of the forest, explains it and then shows why it is so vitally important. Combining the precision of a scientist with the lyricism of a poet, Diana Beresford-Kroeger has written an unforgettable work of natural history that shows how we really can save the Earth, one tree at a time.

Nachdem ihre Eltern früh versterben, wird Diana Beresford-Kroeger von einer Familie aufgenommen, die seit Jahrhunderten alte keltische Traditionen pflegt. Im Laufe von drei Sommern wird Diana in der keltischen Triade von Geist, Körper und Seele unterrichtet, einer Philosophie, deren Weisheiten und Fähigkeiten Wälder als überlebenswichtig für das physische und spirituelle Überleben ansehen. Die Verwurzelung in dieser ganzheitlichen Naturauffassung lässt Diana zu einer führenden Wissenschaftlerin werden, die alte, geheime Lehren mit eigenen Beobachtungen verbindet: die Entdeckung der Mutterbäume im Herzen des Waldes oder jene, dass Bäume nicht nur mithilfe einer chemischen Sprache kommunizieren, sondern sogar über heilende natürliche Antibiotika verfügen. Dieses Buch schildert nicht nur den Werdegang einer eindrucksvollen Wissenschaftlerin, sondern bündelt auch ihr gesamtes Wissen über die komplexen Zusammenhänge zwischen dem globalen Wald und dem Wohlergehen aller Lebewesen. Nicht zuletzt bietet Im Namen der Bäume eine so fundierte wie ermutigende Handreichung dafür, dass das Pflanzen und das Verstehen von Bäumen eine praktikable Lösung darstellen, um die Folgen unseres selbstzerstörerischen Verhaltens – allen voran die des Klimawandels – in den Griff zu bekommen.
