Paperback. Condition: Good. Dr. Carl Alwin Schenck, a forester born and educated in Germany, arrived in America in April 1895 to manage the 125,000-acre forest on George W. Vanderbilt's famed Biltmore Estate in North Carolina, celebrated today as the "Cradle of Forestry in America."To train men to assist him in the woods, in 1898 Schenck started the Biltmore Forest School, America's first forestry school. As Schenck noted with pride, "My boys worked continuously in the woods, while those at other schools saw wood only on their desks." Many of the school's more than 300 graduates became influential leaders in both government and industrial forestry.Cradle of Forestry in America is Schenck's own story of his beloved school. But it's also the story of the birth of forest conservation in America. Clashes with men like Gifford Pinchot--his predecessor, friend, and rival--helped shape the very movement inspired and spurred by Schenck's Biltmore work. Today Schenck's philosophy remains controversial: "That forestry is best which pays best.".…

Hardback. Condition: Good. An investigation of the emotional power of narrative that illuminates the relationship between the human brain and the stories we tell   As humans, we think in stories?stories that allow us to feel and share emotions. In order for this phenomenon to work, our brains and the ways in which we tell stories must be attuned to each other. But how exactly does this happen?   Tapping into the essence of thinking in stories, Fritz Breithaupt draws on the latest scientific research, including a retelling study (comparable to the telephone game) with more than 12,000 participants, and experiments in which ChatGPT functions as storyteller. This wide-ranging study includes analyses of political history, novels, fairy tales, and everyday office gossip; proposes a new theory of narrative that focuses on emotions and affects; and hypothesizes on the evolution of narratives among our hominid ancestors. Redefining us as beings who anchor ourselves in the world through narratives, Breithaupt introduces a new kind of psychology that cuts to the core of how and why humans feel the need to tell stories.…
