Book Description
Every individual tends to stumble upon the blockages of their mind when it comes to finding their purpose of life. The mind intervenes and creates an illusion of thoughts and security around certain belief structures and conditionings. This book breaks the realms of the mind, and goes a step further making a clear connection with a person's heart, and the mind by answering not only the question itself, but also making one face the source from where the question initially arose. Once the mind and heart are at peace the world surrounding a person shows the true nature that indeed is paradise. All questions will disappear thus leading an individual to experience life as it is. Many books have been written on the subject, but they tend to be a good read but miss the potential to actually make an individual realize that life was not intended to follow behind the footsteps of others, neither does life resides in leading a group. Books on spirituality achieve a type of entertainment for the mind and numb it but the key is missing in making the connective bridge between the heart and the mind. In today's world each and every individual needs to find the inner connection in self and start a new generation of self-evolved beings for the stage that the world resides in today. The very foundation of life is shaken by the ideas of the mind. Most books propose to forget the mind, and be silent to just meditate thoughts away, shutting the mind down. This book paves a path from the mind to the heart, and creates a deeper understanding that one cannot just shut the mind out, but one can live in harmony by connecting the heart with the mind. This book is written in easy language making it easily readable without big words and terms for individuals to get lost in. It is more of a conversation within the mind and the heart thus opening new realizations towards life.

Book Description
A haunting novel spanning several generations, The Seed Keeper follows a Dakhóta family’s struggle to preserve their way of life, and their sacrifices to protect what matters most. Rosalie Iron Wing has grown up in the woods with her father, Ray, a former science teacher who tells her stories of plants, of the stars, of the origins of the Dakhóta people. Until, one morning, Ray doesn’t return from checking his traps. Told she has no family, Rosalie is sent to live with a foster family in nearby Mankato—where the reserved, bookish teenager meets rebellious Gaby Makespeace, in a friendship that transcends the damaged legacies they’ve inherited. On a winter’s day many years later, Rosalie returns to her childhood home. A widow and mother, she has spent the previous two decades on her white husband’s farm, finding solace in her garden even as the farm is threatened first by drought and then by a predatory chemical company. Now, grieving, Rosalie begins to confront the past, on a search for family, identity, and a community where she can finally belong. In the process, she learns what it means to be descended from women with souls of iron—women who have protected their families, their traditions, and a precious cache of seeds through generations of hardship and loss, through war and the insidious trauma of boarding schools. Weaving together the voices of four indelible women, The Seed Keeper is a beautifully told story of reawakening, of remembering our original relationship to the seeds and, through them, to our ancestors.

Book Description
Sometimes the thing you find is not the one you were looking for. When botanist Maddy Bellani is asked to travel to Brazil to collect rare seeds from a plant that could cure cancer, she reluctantly agrees. Securing the seeds would be a coup for the seed bank in Cape Town where she works, but Brazil is the country of her birth and home to her estranged father. Her mission is challenging, despite the help of alluring local plant expert Zé. The plant specimen is elusive, its seeds guarded by a sect wary of outsiders. Maddy must also find her way in a world influenced by unscrupulous pharmaceutical companies and the selfish motives of others. Entrancing and richly imagined, The Seed Thief is a modern love story with an ancient history, a tale that moves from flora of Table Mountain to the heart of Afro-Brazilian spiritualism.

Book Description
The Collective had evolved at the very dawn of time, and now it had found a way to propagate by building a gigantic tree-entity which could spread its seeds to new worlds far across the universe. The Velociraptors of Haven have acquired a Spellbinder, enabling them to explore parallel universes. Having found a dinosaur-dominated Earth copy, they encounter one of the tree-entity’s seed-capsules at the end of its billion-year journey. Through its seeds, the Collective has mindlessly begun to enslave all life on the planet and to direct evolution. Now, for the first time, it has found intelligent life – the Raptors – which promises to bring it the power of awareness. Now Peterkin, the High King, is faced with a terrifying problem. If the Collective can learn how to manipulate the space-time Rifts that separate the worlds from each other, it will spread its seeds to all the parallel Earths in the multiverse, dominating all life. Can he prevent this – and what price will he have to pay?

Book Description
Art and science collaborate on a fascinating story with extraordinary images in a highly-acclaimed book. Seeds, the most complex organs produced by plants, ensure the biodiversity of our planet. They vary from the impressive Seychelles nut that weighs twenty kilos to the dust-like seeds of the orchids. Some wait for hundreds of years to find the right place and time for germination after travelling thousands of kilometres or just a few centimetres. The evolution of their highly sophisticated structures from prehistoric times to today makes fascinating reading as do the wiles plants use to attract and deceive their chosen pollinators. The extraordinary images that accompany this story provide an unprecedented presentation of the magnificent diversity of seeds in all their exquisite beauty and sophistication. Fruits are the keepers of the precious seeds that ensure our future; some are edible, others inedible and many, quite simply, incredible.
