翁贝托·艾柯有一个著名的比喻,叫“植物的记忆”,用来形容书籍贮存的人类的文明。艾柯说,书籍被制作出来就是为了作为时间的见证,而在书籍要传播给我们的指定记忆之上,又附加上了它自身所渗透的“物理记忆”,书籍自身故事的芬芳。 在这个比喻的结构里,其实还可以加入一种...
评分 评分威廉·布莱克观察到:“每个人看到的东西不一样:当一个人感动到流泪的树,在另一个人看来,只是一团挡道的绿色东西”。说得太好了,你希望看到什么,往往意味着你能看到什么。我虽时常为大自然的神力惊叹,但从未注意过身边的树木品种,在阅读的过程中,关于植物的少量记忆才...
评分选书之初仅因为自己是个实打实的绿植爱好者,家里花花草草摆弄了一大堆,想着去有什么关于植物的书籍也好看看,了解典故也好,具体指导也好,有趣便好。看到这个书的评分还不错,觉得可以尝试一下。整体读下来,感觉还算有一些趣味性。 顾名思义,那些活了很久很久的树讲的都是...

A lyrical tribute to the diversity of trees, their physical beauty, their special characteristics and uses, and their ever-evolving meanings Since the beginnings of history trees have served humankind in countless useful ways, but our relationship with trees has many dimensions beyond mere practicality. Trees are so entwined with human experience that diverse species have inspired their own stories, myths, songs, poems, paintings, and spiritual meanings. Some have achieved status as religious, cultural, or national symbols. In this beautifully illustrated volume Fiona Stafford offers intimate, detailed explorations of seventeen common trees, from ash and apple to pine, oak, cypress, and willow. The author also pays homage to particular trees, such as the fabled Ankerwyke Yew, under which Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn, and the spectacular cherry trees of Washington, D.C. Stafford discusses practical uses of wood past and present, tree diseases and environmental threats, and trees' potential contributions toward slowing global climate change. Brimming with unusual topics and intriguing facts, this book celebrates trees and their long, long lives as our inspiring and beloved natural companions. (Amazon.co.uk)
