Baysprites, small creatures akin to elves and leprechauns, stand just three inches tall—about the size of a person''s thumb. Originating from Ireland, one clan of baysprites left their homeland during the Great Hunger. In 1846, around one hundred baysprites crossed the Atlantic, stowing away on a ship bound for Baltimore. They eventually established colonies along the northern shore of the Chesapeake Bay. This enchanting tale, narrated by a grandmother to her grandchildren, follows a baysprite colony in the 21st century as they search for a neighbouring colony that has missed their annual contact. The colony''s storyteller, accompanied by an escort, embarks on a perilous weeklong journey through human territory to locate the lost colony, encountering unexpected dangers and astonishing revelations along the way.

Perspectives on Plant Competition is mainly about addressing the many different perspectives in plant competition and finding a common ground among them. Its aim is that through this common ground, new theories can be created. Encompassing 20 chapters, this book is divided into three parts. Part I, Perspectives on the Determinants of Competitive Success, consists of eight chapters. This section deals mainly on the question of determination of competitive success. Different writers put forward various definitions of competition and competitive success to shed light on the question at hand. In the second part of this book, an opposing set of views regarding the consequences of competitive interactions for the plant community structure is provided. This section emphasizes the idea that competition is not the sole force in natural communities. Each chapter in this part focuses on a certain aspect of competition as seen in different communities – across and within habitats – and systems. Part III, which comprises of four chapters, focuses on the competition within the context of interaction of plants with organisms on the other trophic levels. The chapters set forth the idea that competition depends on the impacts of herbivores, parasites, and symbionts. The concluding part of the book greatly emphasizes the need to integrate the mechanisms of competition into the framework of the entire food web.

This book is about my awakening, my gift. I wrote it as a sort of outlet, a place to gather my thoughts and emotions and see them all in one place. It is by no means the end of my journey, only the beginning; the ending is mine to write based on an accumulation of moments. When I first wrote it, I was just going to put it on a shelf and use it as a page mark in my life but decided, after speaking with some beautiful people, to make it available to whomever might benefit from it. It’s just me and my perspective. There is no right way; there is only your way. My hope is that this book might help others and, if the time is right, maybe help begin their awakened adventure. Trust your journey and respect those who journey around you. Peace and much love.
