Excerpt from Natural History Rambles: The Woodlands Caesar says, what the Britons call a town, is a tract of woody country, surrounded by a high bank and a ditch, for the security of themselves and cattle against the incursions of their enemies, and Strabo remarks that the forests of the Britons are their cities for when they have inclosed a very large circuit with felled trees, they build within it houses for them selves, and hovels for their cattle. Thus the early records of the Briton associate him with a love for trees and woods. Gradually, but continually, during the past thousand years, the original forests have diminished; partly to furnish timber for houses and ships, partly being en closed and brought under cultivation, but chiefly to meet the wants of a rapidly increasing population. On the other hand, fruit-trees, in orchards and gardens, large parks with ornamental trees, young plantations, and other forms of vegetation, having to a large extent replaced the forests, less disastrous consequences have followed their diminution than have resulted in many other countries, as for example in Spain, as well as some portions of France. Forests, which are distributed so universally over the surface of the globe, and are recklessly destroyed in newly-colonized countries, without regard to con sequences, have important functions to perform in the economy of nature. It is only in most recent times that man has awakened to the consciousness, that in the wholesale destruction of forests the entire aspect of a country is changed, equilibrium disturbed, and the advent of desolation threatened. The destruction of forests in the Island of Cyprus, in order to furnish its celebrated timber to the Romans, jews, and other nations, has reduced a paradise to a comparative wilderness 3 and the progress of similar destruction in India aroused the Government to adopt a complete system of forest conservancy in order to avert the threatened evil.

Excerpt from The Forest It is a glimpse of the human heart, seen like the blue sea off soundings (which has puzzled, and worse, our landsmen critics) with an ugly and awful fact of human nature ever and anon surging up to the surface, like a monster of the deep, and showing its dark form for a moment in the leaping sun-light, then disappearing to seek its native depths. It makes you dizzy the unsteady motion, the sun dancing in the firmament, the masts describing segments of cir cles in the sky, the good ship heeled over, and almost laid on her beam ends, under the press of her cloud-like canvass, and threatening every moment to take in a flood over her bows, and the sight of these sea monsters sporting in the brine? Yet out of these Visions and per ceptions of nature, (our own abysmal nature in a turmoil, ) and the struggle to maintain the balance of the soul, spring Virtues and a purity of conscience of which the world has but a faint idea.

A Californian may vacation in Yosemite, Big Sur, or Death Valley, but many of us come home to an oak woodland. Yet, while common, oak woodlands are anything but ordinary. In a book rich in illustration and suffused with wonder, author Kate Marianchild combines extensive research and years of personal experience to explore some of the marvelous plants and animals that the oak woodlands nurture. Acorn woodpeckers unite in marriages of up to ten mates and raise their young cooperatively. Ground squirrels roll in rattlesnake skins to hide their scent from hungry snakes. Manzanita's rust-colored, paper-thin bark peels away in time for the summer solstice, exposing sinuous contours that are cool to the touch even on the hottest day. Conveying up-to-the-minute scientific findings with a storyteller's skill, Marianchild introduces us to a host of remarkable creatures in a world close by, a world that "rustles, hums, and sings with the sounds of wild things."
