Häufig haben Wohnungen und Häuser in der Stadt nur einen kleinen Gartenbereich oder sogar gar keinen Platz für einen Garten. Der vertikale Garten ist in diesem Zusammenhang eine tolle Möglichkeit, selbst auf kleinster bzw. in der senkrechten Fläche - und damit auch in Städten - ertragreiche Ernten einzufahren. Das spart Geld, hat gesundheitliche Vorteile, die sich aus dem Verzehr frischer Lebensmittel und der Bewegung im Freien ergeben, und vermeidet Emissionen, die beim Transport von Lebensmitteln vom Bauernhof zum Verbraucher entstehen würden. Autor Jason Johns hält daher das ,Vertical Gardening' für eine der aufregendsten Entwicklungen im Gartenbau. Sein Bestseller aus den USA informiert umfassend über die Techniken und das Wissen, wie man Pflanzen dazu bringt, an Zäunen, Spalieren oder Mauern aufrecht zu wachsen, und welche kreativen Ideen es gibt, um Pflanzen in verschiedenen Behältern über dem Boden gedeihen zu lassen.

Epicteto foi trazido como escravo para Roma, onde se tornou um grande professor, influenciando profundamente o futuro imperador Marco Aurélio, entre muitos outros. A sua filosofia, o estoicismo, era prática, não teórica ¿ visando aliviar o sofrimento humano aqui e agora.E Epicteto conheceu o sofrimento. Além de ex-escravo, era coxo de uma perna e andava com muleta. Após uma década ensinando em Roma, foi banido pelo imperador Domiciano; destemido, ele fundou uma escola na Grécia.O Manual de Epicteto é uma coleção dos ensinamentos essenciais e ditos concisos do pensador, compilados por seu aluno mais próximo. É um guia acessível e prático da filosofia estoica, tão relevante hoje como o foi no Império Romano.

Poucas obras antigas foram tão influentes quanto Meditações de Marco Aurélio, filósofo e imperador de Roma entre os anos 161 e 180. A série de textos e ensaios repletos de sabedoria, orientação prática e profunda compreensão do comportamento humano continua sendo uma das maiores obras de desenvolvimento pessoal e espiritual, princípios éticos e de reflexões sociais já escritas. As percepções e conselhos de Marco ¿ desde viver no mundo a lidar com a adversidade e interagir com os outros ¿ tornaram seus textos uma leitura obrigatória para estadistas, filósofos, líderes e estudiosos do comportamento humano.Conhecido também como o ¿diário do imperador estoicö, Meditações traz consigo o estilo originalmente encontrado nas anotações de Marco Aurélio, bem como os fundamentos básicos do estoicismo, tornando assim possível redescobrir completamente os pensamentos de um dos líderes mais iluminados e inteligentes de todos os tempos.

"Escrito para seu amigo Paulino, esta brilhante e contundente obra de Sêneca ainda tem um impacto poderoso e é tão relevante como sempre. Com a sua rejeição impetuosa do materialismo e dos estilos de vida convencionais,Sêneca antecipa o mundo moderno. É uma exposição única de como as pessoas são apanhadas numa corridadesenfreada e como, para aqueles que estão presos nessa mentalidade, nada é suficiente. Os indivíduos ¿ocupados¿ de Roma aos quais Sêneca faz referência, aquelas pessoas que estão preocupadas demais com suas carreiras e relações sociais para examinar com rigor a qualidade de suas vidas, parecem muito conosco.Esses escritos estoicos oferecem insights poderosos sobre a arte de viver e a importância da razão e da moralidade, e continuam a fornecer orientação profunda a muitos por meio de sua eloquência, lucidez e sabedoria atemporal."

This subchapter aims to shed light on the importance of studying plant genetics and its implications for everyone, particularly those interested in the fields of genetics and genomics.1. Unveiling the Secrets of Evolution:Studying plant genetics allows us to unravel the mysteries of evolution. By examining the genetic makeup of plants, scientists can trace their ancestry, discover their evolutionary history, and gain insights into how they have adapted to various environmental conditions over time. This knowledge not only helps us understand the past but also provides valuable information for predicting future changes in plant species.2. Boosting Crop Yields:As the world's population continues to grow, the demand for food is increasing exponentially. Studying plant genetics enables scientists to develop crops with higher yields, enhanced nutritional value, and improved resistance against pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. By manipulating plant genes, researchers can create varieties that are more productive, efficient, and sustainable, ultimately contributing to global food security.3. Conservation and Biodiversity:Plant genetics plays a vital role in the conservation of endangered plant species and the preservation of biodiversity. By studying the genetic diversity within plant populations, scientists can identify rare genes and traits that may be crucial for the survival of certain species. This knowledge helps in developing conservation strategies, ensuring that unique plant varieties are protected for future generations.4. Medicinal and Industrial Applications:Plants have been a source of medicines, fibers, and biofuels for centuries. Understanding plant genetics allows scientists to identify and manipulate genes responsible for producing valuable compounds, opening doors to new medical treatments, sustainable materials, and renewable energy sources.

Jahrhundert, als Adelige um den schönsten Garten der Welt wetteiferten, oder in die Zeit der Pflanzenjäger, Entdecker und Forscher, die Garten-freunde mit seltenen Pflanzen und exotischen Tieren aus fernen Kolonien versorgten. Heute sind die historischen Gärten Refugien für seltene Arten und Zentren für Biodiversität und Klimaresilienz. - Hortus botanicus: 40 alte Botanische Gärten aus aller Welt von besonderem historischen Wert- Gartenkultur: Ein farbenprächtiger Bildband berühmter Gärten - Gartenparadiese: Jeder Garten wird mit seiner Geschichte und seinen Eigenheiten vorgestellt- Ein Gartenbuch über die Rolle der Botanischen Gärten in Wissenschaft, Politik und Kultur - Prachtvolle Gartenkunst: Buch für Gartenliebhaber:innen und ideales Geschenk für alle Gärtner:innenVon Orangerien, Herbarien und Saatgut-Banken: Berühmte Botanische Gärten gestern und heuteBotanische Gärten entwickelten sich zunächst aus den klösterlichen Kräuter- und Apothekergärten, bevor sie zu Statussymbolen des Adels wurden.

Science has affirmed it: houseplants contribute to our well-being, bringing joy and health benefits. As research highlights their ability to cleanse the air, elevate our spirits, and alleviate stress, there's every incentive to transform our living spaces with an array of delightful plants in various shapes, sizes, and hues.With an abundance of plant varieties available, there's a perfect plant-or several-for everyone: from graceful, blooming orchids to petite cacti and succulents, delicate trailing plants, and imposing floor-standing palms. The options are vast. While the temptation to fill every available surface with greenery is strong, the most captivating houseplant displays transcend mere abundance. They are deliberate and curated arrangements that can establish a specific ambiance within a home-whether it's a snug oasis or a striking, architecturally inspired plant showcase.

Giovanni Crupi (Taormina, 19 dicembre 1861 - Taormina, 6 dicembre 1925) è stato un fotografo italiano di paesaggi, attivo in Sicilia e in Egitto (ad Eliopoli). Fu tra i primi a documentare le bellezze artistiche della Sicilia. A Taormina fu amico di Wilhelm von Gloeden e Giuseppe Bruno, nonché maestro del nipote Francesco Galifi Crupi (tutti insieme costituiscono la cosiddetta "scuola fotografica di Taormina"). Questo libro è un omaggio dell'autrice alla sua città natale, Palermo, grazie alle nitide ed eleganti immagini di Crupi. Esse ci restituiscono l'immagine fatata di Palermo fra il 1880 e il 1900. È il primo libro, a livello mondiale, ad essere dedicato al lavoro e alla memoria di Giovanni Crupi.

A Walk Through Our Garden is a series of daily devotional thoughts based on time spent in my garden. Each flower or plant testifies of his grace.Each of us were created with different gifts, talents, and temperaments by a wonderful, loving God so that we have fellowship with Him and explore His thoughts, ways, dreams, desires, plans, and purposes for our lives. God has uniquely gifted you to reach someone for Christ, or to do something for the kingdom that others cannot do. Dare to dream largely-outside of the box! What is in your heart to do? Have you dismissed it because it is too much work, or it seems impossible? Are you a hermit-secretly wanting to do something, but afraid to step out in faith? Have you isolated yourself due to an inferiority complex, past hurts, or perhaps even lethargy? I have learned much from the Lord and His creation, and I hope that these devotionals reveal God's love for humanity and for you personally.
