Initially, Stewart thought collecting trees was strange. Later, curious about these tree lovers, she discovered educators, protectors and forward-thinkers, all drawn to a kind of collection, motivated by different reasons for planting trees. They plant trees in all kinds of places, big and small, public and private, nurturing (培育) their trees to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species, connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty.

Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book's "ecologists" tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. "Healer" Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on land he got from his enslaved ancestors, intending to create a sustainable forest that will provide long-term wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy wants to rebuild traditional peach gardens on Navajo land. She's part of a group called "community builders" who work to bring people together.

Stewart's watercolor illustrations make the book even more charming — She pictures the people in her stories and also captures the beauty of the trees, like the unique eucalyptus seeds and delicate camellia flowers.

After spending time in this varied community, you'll undoubtedly experience a strong desire to rest under the shade of a leafy tree. But there's more to it: the book gives people a chance to share what they love. "How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?" she writes. "Somehow, talking about trees made it possible."

Because of the fast pace of social life, a good sleep is sometimes beyond our reach. Maybe you didn't get enough sleep last night, but chances are you're still doing better than the (type) northern elephant seal. Scientists (discover) the massive creatures are often getting less shut-eye than most others in the animal kingdom recently.

For months at a time, they go on long voyages they migrate thousands of miles off the Pacific coast and back again as they hunt for food. While out at sea, they're (continuous) diving more than 3,000 feet underwater. "So there's a bit of a puzzle," explains McKnight. " you're diving all the time, and spending 90% of your time at sea underwater without access air, when do you sleep?"

study published on Thursday in the journal Science now offers an answer: Northern elephant seals rely on short power naps during those deep (dive), which altogether add up to about two hours of sleep per day, says Jessica Kendall-Bar, the study's lead author and an eco-physiologist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. "And they do that while (hold) their breath very deep below the ocean surface," she says.

The new findings mean that northern elephant seals now beat African elephants who currently hold the world record for the (short) daily sleep time among mammals.
