Jean Giono,Michael McCurdy,Wangari Maathai: The Man Who Planted Trees

The Man Who Planted Trees


Description

Jean Giono's beautiful allegorical tale is legendary. Written in the 1950's, its message was ahead of its time, inspiring readers to rediscover the harmonies of the countryside and prevent its willful destruction.The narrator, journeying by foot across the barren plains of the lower Alps, has his thirst assuaged by the well water drawn by the shepherd Elzeaerd Bouffier. Here begins the subtle parable which Giono weaves of the life-giving shepherd who chooses to live alone and carry out the work of God. Over forty years the desolate hills and lifeless villages which so oppressed the traveler are transformed by the dedication of one man. All with the help of a few acorns.Giono's hope was to set in motion a worldwide reforestation program that would rejuvenate the earth. "The Man Who Planted Trees" is a hymn to creation and a purveyor of confidence in man's ability to change his-indeed the world's-lot.

This book explains how self-inquiry affects the lives of those who practice it, including its effects on personality, relationships, and the mind.

Flavorful and satisfying, Korean cuisine is a tantalizing balance of tastes and textures--fiery peppers are a counterpoint to mild rice, fragrant sesame oil adds a hint of sweetness to meat and vegetables, and pickled kimchi adds zest with its tanginess and crunch. And, best of all, Korean food emphasizes vegetables and grains, making it as healthy as it is delicious. A riveting new drama based on The Crucible, from the bestselling author of MY SISTER'S KEEPER and THE STORYTELLER. There is witchcraft at work in Salem Falls.
