1 the discovery journey of nature collector Wallace
Translated by Peter Leiby, Lai, Commercial Press
This great naturalist, explorer and geographer is Wallace. When he was in his twenties, he went to the Amazon rainforest to explore and collect all kinds of animal and plant specimens. Later, he went to the Malay archipelago, where he discovered countless new species, wrote down a very classic naturalist's travel notes-the natural science investigation in the Malay archipelago, founded the subject of "biogeography" and spread the theory of evolution. Put forward a unique view on the relationship between the human brain and consciousness ... This book "The Collector of Nature: Wallace's Discovery Journey" introduces Wallace in detail, from which you can know how a great naturalist was born.
I guess you want to be an explorer and explore nature like Wallace, or we can form a group and be "collectors of nature" together, ok?
To tell the truth, my mother witnessed it the other day-birds are natural architects. Fortunately, my mother was having breakfast that day when she suddenly found a magpie in the super-high tree next to our window! Bird! Nest! Do you know how excited I am? This tree is flourishing, and the magpie opposite me is very busy. I think bird watching is so fun for the first time!

Since I had you, my mother's sense of smell has become extremely sensitive. I guess it's as good as the prosperous wealth of that family. Someone passed by me just now, and a pungent rose fragrance came to my face. My mother felt bad, but my grandmother didn't feel it ... In fact, my mother didn't hate roses, but my mother liked sunflowers and wild chrysanthemums best. We should know that "flowers are not for people, but they bring us enlightenment of love and beauty." However, everyone likes flowers, but who really knows them?
The Natural History of kiss from a rose
[America] Peter bernhardt translated "New Thinking Culture" Liu Huajie | CITIC Publishing Group
The interaction between flowers and insects, songbirds and small animals is thrilling and more exciting than movie scripts and documentaries. The relationship between flowers and human beings lies not only in food, herbs and spices, but also in emotional sustenance, aesthetic stimulation and ecological characterization ... This book "Kiss from the Rose: A Natural History of Flowers" begins with the familiar rose sepals and ends with the evolution of flowers. What is commendable is that this book also shows the knowledge of flowers from many angles such as poetry, history, mythology and archaeology. It is simply a plant and flower Expo, showing the wonder and exquisiteness of nature's creations!
I wonder what kind of flowers you will like in the future. Will you have the patience to become a person who knows flowers? May life be like summer flowers and optimism be like you!

Although it is a fast-paced era, my mother feels that many things need to be slowed down and read carefully, such as our classical literature, except Tang poetry and Song poetry, especially the Book of Songs. I hate books when I use them, and my mother is dull, but I believe it is always good to read to you more. In addition, my mother found that many predecessors noticed that the Book of Songs wrote a lot of animals and plants. Would it be more interesting for you to read from this angle?
Just now, the two ancient texts mentioned the silkworm baby, which is the book of songs. This book is divided into two volumes: plants and animals, and describes in detail 137 species of plants and 1 14 species of animals in The Book of Songs. These animals and plants are part of poetry, and their symbolic meaning and figurative effect greatly increase poetry and artistic conception. Without these creatures and objects that people can perceive, there will be no inspiration, and it will be difficult to produce poetry.

After seeing you on the B-ultrasound image the other day, my father began to have nothing to do. Because you look more like him, he firmly believes that his long-awaited little princess is coming. In my mother's mind, girls should be braver and stronger than boys and know how to love themselves. They should be closer to the world and work harder to make their voices heard.

[Plus] Ann Hidr translated a volume of Jiang Hong Studio | Sichuan People's Publishing House
In ancient Roman mythology, Flora was the name of the flower god, symbolizing nature, richness and spring. The Daughter of the Flower God: Science and Gender in British Botanical Culture (1760- 1860) tells the classic works of science and women in British natural history and culture from 1760 to 1860, and the process of women's exclusion in botanical practice. "Daughter of the Flower God" is an important but neglected female group in the history of nature and science. They observe, make plant specimens, draw plant illustrations, and attend botany lectures ... While earning meager income, they also contribute their intelligence to the popularization of botany knowledge and make great contributions to the development of botany culture.
