"Dogs are the family we choose. They are dirty and tooth, but we let them into our homes and onto our beds"--Publisher's description

A poetic and intimate essay collection on the lives of plants and their entanglement with our human worlds A seed slips beyond a garden wall. A seaweed drifts through an ocean. A tree is planted on a shifting border. A shrub is uprooted from its culture and its land. What happens when these plants leave their original homes and put down roots elsewhere? Born in Canada to a Taiwanese mother and a Welsh father, steeped in both literary and scientific traditions, Jessica J. Lee is a perfectly placed observer of our world in motion. In this vibrant book of linked essays she explores the entanglements of the plant and human worlds, and the echoes and counterpoints she detects in the migration of plants and people - and the language we use to describe them. Each of the plants considered in this collection are somehow perceived as being "out of place"- whether weeds, samples collected through imperial science, or crops introduced and transformed by our hand. Combining memoir, history, and scientific research in precise and poetic prose, Jessica J. Lee meditates on the question of how both plants and people come to belong - or not - as they border cross, and reveals how all our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.

The water slips over me like cool silk, rising around my legs, over my waist, up to my collarbone. When I relax, the lake's sound is a muffled roar, every vibration amplified by water. Jessica Lee, a Canadian of Chinese and British descent, swims year-round, especially loving the winter's sharp, freezing water. At twenty-eight, feeling lonely in Berlin while working on her thesis, she decides to swim fifty-two lakes around the city, regardless of the weather. This journey becomes a beautiful obsession, leading her to confront her past fears of near drowning and the ghosts of the landscape. Each swim brings new experiences: the thrill of a turquoise lake, cracking ice, floating under blue skies, and navigating murky depths. Through this year of swimming, Jessica gains strength, finds friendship, and discovers how the landscape can haunt yet also hold us. This narrative resonates with anyone who loves swimming, seeks to push beyond caution, and understands the profound joy of surrendering to the water, allowing the body to float home to the surface.

Both clear-eyed and tender hearted, Two Trees Make a Forest is a profound and gorgeously written meditation on the natural and familial environments that shape us. Jessica J Lee is a poetic talent keenly attentive to the mysterious and sublime - Robert Macfarlane

Před pár lety byli bosí běžci považováni za extremisty. Dnes se na ně sice většina lidí stále kouká skrz prsty, ale tito nadšenci neodmyslitelně patří k rozrůstající se komunitě sportovců, kteří chtějí zažívat opravdové sepětí s přírodou a využít evoluční potenciál na maximum. Michael Sandler patří mezi průkopníky bosého běhání, a proto je právě on ideálním průvodcem, jak začít s bosým běháním. Srozumitelně a neideologicky popisuje základní prvek bosého běhání, jímž je technika, a přes detailní rozbor cviků na posílení chodidel postupuje k nácviku běžeckých dovedností, jejichž cílem je připravit vás na svobodný pohyb po všech myslitelných površích. Tato kniha je vhodná i pro milovníky minimalistických bot. Předmluva: „Bosonohý Ted“ z Born to Run Doslov: Danny Dryer, autor knihy Chi Running
