[Ladders to Heaven] is a page-turner and a revelation: You will never again think of a fig as just something to eat. There is no a better way to introduce the complexity and wonder of nature – and our intricate relationship with it. A must read." > > I’ve pasted a summary below. > Best wishes > Mike > > Ladders To Heaven: How fig trees shaped our history, fed our imaginations and can enrich our future > > They are trees of life and trees of knowledge. They are wish-fulfillers … rainforest royalty … more precious than gold. They are the fig trees, and they have affected humanity in profound but little-known ways. Ladders to Heaven tells their amazing story. > > Fig trees fed our pre-human ancestors, influenced diverse cultures and played key roles in the dawn of civilization. They feature in every major religion, starring alongside Adam and Eve, Krishna and Buddha, Jesus and Muhammad. This is no coincidence – fig trees are special. They evolved when giant dinosaurs still roamed and have been shaping our world ever since. > > These trees intrigued Aristotle and amazed Alexander the Great. They were instrumental in Kenya’s struggle for independence and helped restore life after Krakatoa’s catastrophic eruption. Egypt’s Pharaohs hoped to meet fig trees in the afterlife and Queen Elizabeth II was asleep in one when she ascended the throne. > > And all because 80 million years ago these trees cut a curious deal with some tiny wasps. Thanks to this deal, figs sustain more species of birds and mammals than any other trees, making them vital to rainforests. In a time of falling trees and rising temperatures, their story offers hope. > > Ultimately, it’s a story about humanity’s relationship with nature. The story of the fig trees stretches back tens of millions of years, but it is as relevant to our future as it is to our past. > > > ********************************************************************** > > psci-com how-to: > Once subscribed, send emails for the list to [log in to unmask] If not subscribed, either subscribe here https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=psci-com or send reqests for items to be posted on your behalf to [log in to unmask] > > To unsubscribe (or silence messages while away) send an email (any subject) to [log in to unmask] with one of the following messages (ignoring text in brackets) > > • signoff psci-com (to leave the list) > • set psci-com nomail (to stop receiving messages while on holiday) > • set psci-com mail (to resume getting messages) > > Contact list owner at [log in to unmask] > Small print and JISCMail acceptable use policy https://sites.google.com/site/pscicomjiscmail/the-small-print > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 12:15:57 +0200 > From: Norbert Steinhaus <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: AW: [PSCI-COM] Citizen Science Projects > > [Message contains invalid MIME fields or encoding and could not be processed] > > ------------------------------ > > Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2016 11:41:56 +0100 > From: Michael Kenward <[log in to unmask]> > Subject: The future of science outreach and re-thinking the 'fight' against science communication with the public > > A new discussion kicked off by Erica Brockmeier over on EuroScience "Your > Voice on Research in Europe": > > http://blog.euroscientist.com/future-science-outreach-re-thinking-fight-scie > nce-communication-public/ > > "Overall, the future of science communication needs to be focused on more > than just sharing science.
