Image: The Hidden Life of Trees: The Illustrated Edition | Hardcover: 176 pages | by Peter Wohlleben (Author), Jane Billinghurst (Translator). Publisher: Greystone Books (August 28, 2018)National Love a Tree Day
-- On this day, trees are celebrated and recognized for the wonderful gift they are to us. So get out there and wrap your arms around your favorite tree, then give it a drink. Watering a tree means soaking the root system. It takes time and patience, but the result of a regular root soaking will make a world of difference to a tree's long-term health.

Read: The Hidden Life of Trees: The Illustrated Edition
-- With compelling selections and stunning, large-format photographs of trees from around the world, this gorgeous volume distills the essence of Peter Wohlleben's message to show trees in all their glory and diversity. Through rich language highlighting the interconnectedness of forest ecosystems, the book offers fascinating insights about the fungal communication highway known as the wood wide web, the difficult life lessons learned in tree school, the hard-working natural cleanup crews who recycle dying trees, and much more. Beautiful images provide the perfect complement to Wohlleben's words, with striking close-ups of bark and seeds, panoramas of vast expanses of green, and a unique look at what is believed to be the oldest tree on the planet.

Image: Love in an Envelope: A Courtship in the American West | Paperback: 244 pages | by Daniel Tyler (Editor), Betty Henshaw (Editor). Publisher: University of New Mexico Press; First edition (July 31, 2009)
Love in an Envelope
First Envelope Made (1845)
-- Prior to 1845, hand-made envelopes were the only envelopes available for use, both commercial and domestic. On May 16, 1845, Edwin Hill and Warren De La Rue were granted a British patent for the first envelope-making machine. The envelopes produced by the Hill/De La Rue machine were not as we know them today. They were a flat diamond, lozenge (or rhombus)-shaped sheets or blanks precut to shape before being fed into the machine for creasing and made ready for folding to form a rectangular enclosure. The edges of the overlapping flaps were treated with a paste or adhesive, and the method of sealing the envelope or wrapper was a user choice.

First U.S. Nickel Minted (1866)
-- The first US nickel coins were actually... pennies! They began circulating in 1857. But as our first nickel coin, the public immediately called this piece a nickel -- and so it was, until 1865, when the next nickel coin, worth three cents, appeared. And when did the five-cent nickel appear? 1866.
