IT was 2 p.m. on the afternoon of May 7, 1915. The Lusitania had

been struck by two torpedoes in succession and was sinking

rapidly, while the boats were being launched with all possible

speed. The women and children were being lined up awaiting their

turn. Some still clung desperately to husbands and fathers;

others clutched their children closely to their breasts. One girl

stood alone, slightly apart from the rest. She was quite young,

not more than eighteen. She did not seem afraid, and her grave,

steadfast eyes looked straight ahead....

In recent years hospice care has gone from a little-known medical alternative to a major movement in health care that has played a leading role in the lives of over 200,000 people. By emphasizing palliative care and pain management rather than curative treatment, hospices allow the terminally ill to spend the last days, week, or months of their lives in their own homes, cared for by their families under the supervision of a team of specially trained hospice workers that includes doctors, nurses, social workers, and volunteers. The Hospice Handbook assures us that the terminally ill do have options, and the quality of their lives can still be within their control..

Arboretum America is, at the very least, the Bible of Trees. But its ambitions are grander than that.
Author Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a self-described "renegade scientist," aims for no less than the salvation of the planet -- through the miracle of trees.
There are many books on both subjects. Some warm, some inform, while others meditate on the disappearance of the forests or the meaning of trees. Few books, though, touch on all of these subjects as Arboretum America does.
Bereford's remedy, what she calls the Bioplan, commences with a simple directive: know thy trees. Most important, this revolution must start, not with governments and sweeping legislation, but with "ordinary people with an acorn and a shovel."
As E.O. Wilson writes in his foreword to Arboretum America, Beresford-Kroeger is a poet and naturalist by calling, "both druidical and scientific in literary expression." So, too, is her Bioplan, which in spirit and letter covers all aspects of trees, from their history and use by Native Americans, to their organic care, their medicinal and therapeutic properties, design and horticultural considerations, and the magic spell they cast over us. Arboretum America is, essentially, a holistic approach to trees, and it suggests that trees, if properly understood and planted, will someday restore the forest primeval.
Diana Beresford-Kroeger is a botanist, medical and agricultural researcher, lecturer, and self-defined "renegade scientist" in the fields of classical botany, medical biochemistry, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. She lives in Ontario, Canada.
