Описание: Possibly the most comprehensive and user-friendly ethnobotanical guidebook available in the Pacific Northwest, Gifted Earth features traditional Native American plant knowledge, detailing the use of plants for food, medicines, and materials. Rather than reporting traditional plant use as a set of disconnected and dusty academic facts, it presents a rich and living tradition of plant use within the Quinault Indian Nation.While this guide centers on a single Native American nation, its focus is not narrow. Quinault is a remarkably diverse tribal community, embodying the traditional knowledge of tribes along the entire Pacific Northwest coast; their membership consists of descendants of many tribes, from the northwestern Olympic Peninsula to the northern Oregon coast, who were relocated to Quinault in the 19th and early 20th centuries – including Chinooks, Chehalis, Quileute, Hoh, Tillamooks, Clatsops, and others. Individuals descended from each of these tribal communities have contributed to the current volume, giving it remarkable breadth and representativeness as a guide to Pacific Northwest tribal plant knowledge.Part ethnobotanical guide and part 'how-to' manual, Gifted Earth prepares plant users for all of the minor hazards and pitfalls that accompany their quest – from how to avoid accidentally eating a bug hidden within a salal berry, to how to avoid blisters when peeling the tender stalks of cow parsnip. A celebration of enduring Native American knowledge, this book will also help non-specialists as they discover the potentials of the region's wild plants, learning how to identify, gather, and use many of the plants that they encounter in the Northwestern landscape.As beautiful as it is informative, Gifted Earth sets the tone for a new generation of ethnobotanical guides – guided by the values, vision, and voice of Native American communities eager to promote a sustainable, balanced relationship between plant users and the rich plant communities of the Pacific Northwest.

Описание: Nineteenth-century English nature was a place of experimentation, exoticism, and transgression, as site and emblem of the global exchanges of the British Empire. Popular attitudes toward the transplantation of exotic species—botanical and human—to Victorian greenhouses and cities found anxious expression in a number of fanciful genre texts, including mysteries, science fiction, and horror stories.Situated in a mid-Victorian moment of frenetic plant collecting from the far reaches of the British empire, Novel Cultivations recognizes plants as vital and sentient subjects that serve—often more so than people—as actors and narrative engines in the nineteenth-century novel. Conceptions of native and natural were decoupled by the revelation that nature was globally sourced, a disruption displayed in the plots of gardens as in those of novels.Elizabeth Chang examines here the agency asserted by plants with shrewd readings of a range of fictional works, from monstrous rhododendrons in Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca and Mexican prickly pears in Olive Schreiner's Story of an African Farm, to Algernon Blackwood's hair-raising ""The Man Whom the Trees Loved"" and other obscure ecogothic tales. This provocative contribution to ecocriticism shows plants as buttonholes between fiction and reality, registering changes of form and content in both realms.
