 «O inventário das árvores do Centro Histórico de Évora decorreu durante Maio de 2021 e consistiu no levantamento da sua localização exacta e na sua identificação taxonómica. Para cada árvore apresenta-se uma ficha da espécie com o nome científico, nome vulgar, família, origem e estatuto em Portugal, uma breve descrição dos caracteres diagnóstico (como folhas, flores ou frutos), o período do ano em que está em floração, o local onde pode ser observada e, nalguns casos, uma nota sobre factos curiosos. Foram identificadas 44 espécies, na sua maioria plantas exóticas introduzidas com propósito ornamental. Este é, evidentemente, um trabalho parcial, uma vez que não contempla todas as árvores presentes no Centro Histórico de Évora. De fora ficam as muitas árvores que existem em pátios e jardins particulares, cujo acesso não é generalizado, e as árvores do Jardim Municipal, cujo acervo se encontra já documentado. É um trabalho destinado aos eborenses que desejem conhecer as árvores das ruas do Centro Histórico de Évora, mas também aos muitos turistas que nos visitam, razão pela qual é bilingue. Foi feito um esforço assinalável para não usar vocabulário técnico, que não é acessível à maioria das pessoas, e por isso dispensámo-nos de incluir o glossário habitual neste tipo de obra.» Anabela Belo

Losing Eden - Why Our Minds Need The Wild

de Lucy Jones

~~14,86€~~ 11,89€ 20% IMEDIATO

portes grátis

 A TIMES AND TELEGRAPH BOOK OF THE YEAR Today many of us live indoor lives, disconnected from the natural world as never before. And yet nature remains deeply ingrained in our language, culture and consciousness. For centuries, we have acted on an intuitive sense that we need communion with the wild to feel well. Now, in the moment of our great migration away from the rest of nature, more and more scientific evidence is emerging to confirm its place at the heart of our psychological wellbeing. So what happens, asks acclaimed journalist Lucy Jones, as we lose our bond with the natural world-might we also be losing part of ourselves? Delicately observed and rigorously researched, Losing Eden is an enthralling journey through this new research, exploring how and why connecting with the living world can so drastically affect our health. Travelling from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists' couches, Jones takes us to the cutting edge of human biology, neuroscience and psychology, and discovers new ways of understanding our increasingly dysfunctional relationship with the earth. Urgent and uplifting, Losing Eden is a rallying cry for a wilder way of life - for finding asylum in the soil and joy in the trees - which might just help us to save the living planet, as well as ourselves.
