Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the hidden world of plants that have journeyed across continents, nestled within the wool of sheep. Focusing on the town of Galashiels, Scotland, known for its thriving wool industry, the author explores the unique and unexpected flora that has taken root in the area, a testament to the interconnectedness of human activity and the natural world. The book delves into the history of the wool industry and its global reach, tracing the origins of wool from Spain to Australia and beyond. The reader will discover how the diverse origins of wool, sourced from all corners of the world, have led to the establishment of an equally diverse array of plant life on the banks of the Tweed River. The book examines the various processes involved in wool production, from the initial scouring to the carbonization of burrs, highlighting how these processes have surprisingly aided in the dispersal of these foreign seeds. It also examines the delicate balance between the resilience of the plant species and the harsh climate of Scotland, revealing how some plants thrive while others struggle to survive in this new environment. The book offers a rich tapestry of scientific observation and historical exploration, providing a compelling insight into the remarkable influence that human activity has had on plant distribution and the fascinating resilience of the natural world.
