“It is frequently the tragedy of the great artist for example Vincent Van Gogh, as it is of the great scientist, that he frightens the ordinary man. If he is more than a popular story-teller it may take humanity a generation to absorb and grow accustomed to the new geography with which the scientist or artist presents us.

Planting tree plantations is permanent deforestation... The extensive planting of just one exotic species removes thousands of native species.”
