My guest on this episode is Michael Christie. Michael is the author of the 2012 story collection, The Beggar's Garden, which was longlisted for the Giller Prize, shortlisted for the Writers' Trust Prize for Fiction, and won the Vancouver Book Award. His 2015 novel If I Fall, If I Die was also longlisted for the Giller Prize, as well as the Kirkus Prize, and was selected as a New York Times Editors' Choice Pick, and was on numerous best-of-the-year lists. His essays and book reviews have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Globe & Mail. Michael's most recent novel is Greenwood, which was published in 2019 by McClelland & Stewart. That books was a national bestseller and won the Le Prix du Livre de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines and the 2020 Arthur Ellis Award for Excellence in Canadian Crime Writing. It was also shortlisted for the 2020 Forest of Reading Evergreen Award, the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize, and the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize, and longlisted for the Giller Prize, and was a 2023 Canada Reads Finalist. The New York Times Book Review called Greenwood “superb” and said it “penetrates to the core of things.” Michael and I talk about how his writing career has been influenced by his previous semi-pro skateboarding career, about converting Greenwood into a TV series, and about how while working on his new novel, he had to resist the temptation to copy the narrative formula that had worked so well in Greenwood.

Highlights Catherine describes spring as “disappointing and confusing” — Is 2024 a slow year for standout reads? Catherine's spring reading trend dips over the past three years. On the flip side, spring seems to be Sarah's reading season! This spring brought Sarah two 4.5-star books. One of Catherine's auto-buy authors no longer makes the cut. Sarah's wildcard selection missed the mark this season as well. Both Catherine and Sarah's top picks from the Preview didn't quite deliver. They name the best and worst books from their spring picks.⁠ Books We Read Before the Preview [6:20] Sarah's Picks The Sicilian Inheritance by Jo Piazza (April 2) | Amazon | Bookshop.org [6:27] Colton Gentry's Third Act by Jeff Zenter (April 30) | Amazon | Bookshop.org[9:19] Spring 2024 Book Preview [10:22] April Sarah's Pick The Wives by Simone Gorrindo (April 9) | Amazon | Bookshop.org [15:09] Catherine's Picks Christa Comes Out of Her Shell by Abbi Waxman (April 16) | Amazon | Bookshop.org [10:22] Honey by Victor Lodato (April 16) | Amazon | Bookshop.org [19:56] Real Americans by Rachel Khong (April 30) | Amazon | Bookshop.org [22:23] Other Books Mentioned Other People's Houses by Abbi Waxman [13:51] The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman [14:32] You Could Make This Place Beautiful by Maggie Smith [19:17] Maid by Stephanie Land [19:19] Between Two Kingdoms by Suleika Jaouad [19:21] Know My Name by Chanel Miller [19:23] Hillbilly Elegy by J.

Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change. If you look at a stretch of rainforest, how do you measure its true value? Is it for the timber in the trees, the medicines in the roots and bark, the water stored in its soils or for its ability to absorb carbon dioxide? A local villager might value it more for its cultural or spiritual worth or for the animals that provide food. A palm oil plantation developer might value the land the forest stands on. Scientists tell us that nature provides benefits to people worth trillions of dollars a year, from the air we breathe to the soils we grow our food in. But it really depends on your perspective. And that's the challenge in trying to put a value on nature. The more humanity destroys nature, the greater the threat to our existence.  Recently, the United Nations' science advisory panel for biodiversity, known as IPBES, looked at this complex issue and found dozens of ways to measure the value of nature. The report came up with guidelines for policymakers. It found that putting a narrow economic value on nature is one of the key reasons behind the loss and damage to the world's ecosystems.  In this episode, The Straits Times' environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss nature valuation with Dr Michael Christie, Professor of Environmental and Ecological Economics at Aberystwyth University in Wales, who is one of the co-chairs of the report.  Highlights (click/tap above): 1:33  Examples of nature's value? 4:46 Why is it important to consider different ways to value nature? 7:20 Main recommendations of the IPBES report 12:24 How to manage conflicts over developments such as building a wind farm that might harm local wildlife? 15:13 Best ways for city-dwellers to connect with nature Produced by: Audrey Tan (audreyt@sph.com.sg), David Fogarty (dfogarty@sph.com.sg), Ernest Luis and Hadyu Rahim Edited by: Hadyu Rahim Subscribe to Green Pulse Podcast series and rate us on your favourite audio apps: Channel: https://str.sg/JWaf Apple Podcasts: https://str.sg/JWaY Spotify: https://str.sg/JWag Google Podcasts: https://str.sg/J6EV  Website: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Feedback to: podcast@sph.com.sg Follow Audrey Tan on Twitter: https://str.sg/JLMB Read her stories: https://str.sg/JLM2 Follow David Fogarty on Twitter: https://str.sg/JLM6 Read his stories: https://str.sg/JLMu --- Discover ST's special edition podcasts: Singapore's War On Covid: https://str.sg/wuJa The Unsolved Mysteries of South-east Asia: https://str.sg/wuZ2 Stop Scams: https://str.sg/wuZB Invisible Asia: https://str.sg/wuZn --- Discover more ST podcast series: Asian Insider: https://str.sg/JWa7 Health Check: https://str.sg/JWaN In Your Opinion: https://str.sg/w7Qt Your Money & Career: https://str.sg/wB2m SG Extra: https://str.sg/wukR #PopVultures: https://str.sg/JWad ST Sports Talk: https://str.sg/JWRE Bookmark This!: https://str.sg/JWas Lunch With Sumiko: https://str.sg/J6hQ Discover ST Podcasts: http://str.sg/stpodcasts Discover BT Podcasts: https://bt.sg/pcPL Follow our shows then, if you like short, practical podcasts! #greenpulseSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sooke Librarian Nathalie interviews Victoria-based author Hayden Stone.  He is definitely a book-ish person and talks about favourite real-life bookshops along with the fictional one he created for his character Aubrey.  You can find his queer romance book An Unexpected Kind of Love for sale or in our catalogue.  (Apparently it has a lot of kissing and steamy bits.) Casey tells us about some great full cast audiobooks, which are awesome because there are multiple narrators and it's a bit like a radio play.  (Nathan should probably not lie down if he's listening to an audiobook.)  Download the Libby App on your phone or tablet here so you can get listening.

Im Mittelpunkt stehen Bäume und Menschen, die eng mit Bäumen verbunden sind, sei es als Baumschützer oder als Holzfäller und Holzhändler. Wie sich das Leben mit, in und von der Natur in den letzten gut hundert Jahren verändert hat, das erzählt Michael Christie mit der Familie Greenwood über vier Generationen hinweg.

Für die elfte Folge von BRIGITTE Bücher haben sich Angela Wittmann und Meike Schnitzler zwei Familienromane ausgesucht. Der eine ganz nah an unserer Lebenswirklichkeit: „Aus und davon“ von Anna Katharina Hahn erzählt von einer Mutter, eine Auszeit von ihrer Mental-Load zu bekommen. Der andere ein Epos, das in der Zukunft beginnt, aber im Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts verwurzelt ist: „Das Flüstern der Bäume“ von Michael Christie. Im Jahr 2038 sind Bäume Mangelware. Touristen zahlen viel Geld, um auf einer kanadischen Insel die letzten Reste des Primärwaldes zu bestaunen. Eine der unterbezahlten Waldführerinnen ist die Biologin Jake Greenwood — die nicht ahnt, wie sehr ihre Familiengeschichte mit den alten Douglasien der Insel verwachsen ist. Bis ein Anwalt auf sie zukommt, der Nachforschungen angestellt hat. Der Kanadier Michael Christie blättert in seinem großen Familienroman „Das Flüstern der Bäume“ zurück bis ins beginnende 20. Jahrhundert, erzählt von einem Brüderpaar, dessen Leben von Holz geprägt war, von unfassbarem Reichtum und bitterster Armut, und von einer Kindesentführung besonderer Sorte. Im englischen Original raunt der Titel des Buches weniger esoterisch (er heißt dort „Greenwood“). Ein echter Spannungsroman über die Ausbeutung von Mensch und Natur. (Ü: Stephan Kleiner, 560 S., 22 Euro, Penguin) In einer vollkommen anderen Welt spielt der Roman, den Angela Wittmann mitgebracht hat: Cornelia ist immer dran: mit Anrufen, Staubsaugen, Geburtstags-Orga, Lehrergesprächen, ein richtiger „Mental Load“-Roman also. Jetzt will sie sich mal nur um sich kümmern und allein durch die USA reisen, um dem häuslichen Burn-out zu entfliehen – und daheim geht alles schief. Die Großeltern sollten auf die Enkel aufpassen, aber Opa hat einen Reha-Schatten und lässt die verzweifelte Oma mit der Verantwortung für eine wilde Teenager-Enkelin und ihren sehr unglücklichen und sehr dicken kleinen Bruder allein. Anna Katharina Hahn erzählt in ihrem erbarmungslos guten Roman „Aus und davon“ vom Ausnahmezustand namens Familie. Das Skypen zwischen dem heulenden Kind in Stuttgart und der Mama in Manhattan wird zum Debakel: „Brunos Unglück quält mich, aber ich will ihm auch entkommen“, sagt Cornelia und versinkt in Selbsthass: „Eine Mutter mit fettem Kind ist ohnehin das Letzte. Dazu noch eine von einem Griechen geschiedene alleinerziehende Mutter.“ Um sich von ihrer Misere abzulenken, forscht sie nach ausgewanderten Vorfahren, bei denen sich ihre Großmutter als Hausmädchen verdingte – bis sie das Heimweh nicht mehr aushielt. (308 S., 24 Euro, Suhrkamp)

Nee, et ass keng Fortsetzung vum däitsche Fieschter Peter Wohlleben sengem Bestseller „Das geheime Leben der Bäume.“ Mir ginn haut a Kanada, do wou d‘ Beem anscheinend pësperen. Et geet ëm eng Famillje-Saga, iwwer verschiddenen Generatiounen, deenen hiert Schicksal iwwert ee Joerhonnert onzertrennbar mam Bësch zesummenhänkt. An dësen Erzielungen vun de verschidden Charakteren an de verschiddenen Zäiten steet eppes ëmmer am Virdergrond, d'Léift zu der Natur an der Ëmwelt. D‘Julie Mathes iwwer dem Michael Christie säi Roman „Das Flüstern der Bäume“.

Grammy award-winning conductor Michael Christie, newly appointed Music Director of the New West Symphony, is a thoughtfully innovative conductor, equally at home in the symphonic and opera worlds, who is focused on making the audience experience at his performances entertaining, enlightening, and enriching. Christie won a 2019 Grammy Award (Best Opera Recording) for the world premiere recording of Mason Bates’ The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs with The Santa Fe Opera (PENTATONE), and was featured in Opera News in August 2012 as one of 25 people believed to “break out and become major forces in the field in the coming decade.” At Minnesota Opera, Christie led 24 productions over eight years, six seasons as its first-ever Music Director (2012-2018).

2038. On a remote island off the Pacific coast of British Columbia stands the Greenwood Arboreal Cathedral, one of the world's last forests. Wealthy tourists flock from all corners of the dust-choked globe to see the spectacle and remember what once was. But even as they breathe in the fresh air and pose for photographs amidst the greenery, guide Jake knows that the forest is dying, though her bosses won't admit it. 1908. Two passenger locomotives meet head-on. The only survivors are two young boys, who take refuge in a trapper's cabin in a forest on the edge of town. In twenty-six years, one of them, now a recluse, will find an abandoned baby — another child of Greenwood — setting off a series of events that will change the course of his life, and the lives of those around him. Structured like the rings of a tree, this remarkable novel moves from the future to the present to the past, and back again, to tell the story of one family and their enduring connection to the place that brought them together. In this Conversations from Byron podcast, Michael Christie speaks with Sophie Cunningham about the interconnectedness of people and nature, about families, relationships and love, and about his and Sophie's shared obsession with trees.

Learn more about this fresh, fascinating, and wholly operatic new work, which audiences have been consuming like a new Apple product. Seattle Opera Dramaturg Jonathan Dean introduces The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, the opera with music by Mason Bates and libretto by Mark Campbell.

Men under senare år har ettan hamnat alltmer i rampljuset. Det var en passionerat förälskad Bartók som skrev sin första violinkonsert för violinisten Stefi Geyer. Hon var emellertid varken intresserad av Bartóks känslor, eller den konsert han skrivit för henne. Musikrevyns Johan Korssell berättar historien om verket och spelar violinisten Vilde Frangs nya tolkning av första violinkonserten. En Warner-inspelning tillsammans med Franska radions filharmoniska orkester i Paris under ledning av Mikko Franck.
