Krone der Schöpfung? Vor 100 000 Jahren war der Homo sapiens noch ein unbedeutendes Tier, das unauffällig in einem abgelegenen Winkel des afrikanischen Kontinents lebte. Unsere Vorfahren teilten sich den Planeten mit mindestens fünf weiteren menschlichen Spezies, und die Rolle, die sie im Ökosystem spielten, war nicht größer als die von Gorillas, Libellen oder Quallen. Vor 70 000 Jahren dann vollzog sich ein mysteriöser und rascher Wandel mit dem Homo sapiens, und es war vor allem die Beschaffenheit seines Gehirns, die ihn zum Herren des Planeten und zum Schrecken des Ökosystems werden ließ. Bis heute hat sich diese Vorherrschaft stetig zugespitzt: Der Mensch hat die Fähigkeit zu schöpferischem und zu zerstörerischem Handeln wie kein anderes Lebewesen. Anschaulich, unterhaltsam und stellenweise hochkomisch zeichnet Yuval Harari die Geschichte des Menschen nach und zeigt alle großen, aber auch alle ambivalenten Momente unserer Menschwerdung.

Rich attributes including vibrant color, fragrance, and sheer variety of form make flowering shrubs the most rewarding of garden plants, but this vast group with its scores of tempting plants — including abutilons, camellias, viburnums, and witch hazels — requires careful navigation. Leading expert on woody plants Jim Gardiner has distilled several decades of knowledge and experience into The Timber Press Encyclopedia of Flowering Shrubs, an incomparable pictorial reference of hardy shrubs that excel in temperate-zone gardens. This highly illustrated guide (with 2000 high-quality images) features more than 1700 plants organized alphabetically by botanical name and readily accessed using the common name index. Gardiner has chosen the best flowering shrubs for gardeners, from the Abelia, Buddleja, and Camellia to the Xanthoceras, Yucca, and Zanthoxylum. Essential horticultural notes accompany each entry and include expected height and spread after 10 years, season of flowering, preferred position, soil and pruning requirements, USDA hardiness zone rating, and more. With wise selection and care, flowering shrubs can be the making of a garden irrespective of its size, location, or the time of year. This important new book is the essential reference on the subject that no discerning horticulturist, landscape designer, or gardener should consider being without.

Anatomie einer Affäre

ISBN: 3641072646

Category: Fiction

Page: 320

View: 6818

Eine verhängnisvolle Affäre – leidenschaftlich und schockierend offen Es ist nicht Liebe auf den ersten Blick, als Gina den Familienvater Seán Vallely bei einem Gartenfest kennenlernt. Doch dann treffen sie sich zufällig wieder, trinken zu viel, landen im Bett – und verfallen einander. So beginnt eine verhängnisvolle Affäre, die jahrelang vor den Ehepartnern geheim gehalten wird. Anfangs eine Beziehung voller Leidenschaft und Glück, hält langsam das Schweigen Einzug, Gewissensbisse, Vorwürfe, Schuld – ist es Liebe? Und darf man für diese Liebe das Seelenheil seines Kindes opfern? Anne Enright ist für die schonungslose Unerbittlichkeit bekannt, mit der sie Beziehungslügen seziert – da reicht eine Geste, ein Blick, und schon ist klar: Die Liebenden steuern in den Abgrund der Alltagsnormalität. Mit Anatomie einer Affäre ist der Irin ein würdiger Nachfolger ihres preisgekrönten Romans Das Familientreffen gelungen: schockierend offen, scharfsinnig und von einer psychologischen Präzision, die kein Entrinnen zulässt.

The Vermont Gardener's Companion tells how to get the most out of Vermont’s short gardening season and details how readers can use organic methods to improve soil, deal with diseases and pests, and get better results with their plants in a state where “winter temperatures plunge far below zero and rocks left by the glaciers pop out of the ground each spring like bread from hyperactive toasters.” With good humor and a natural teacher’s gift for explanations, Henry Homeyer makes gardening fun and readily accessible to all.
