Etymology of the day: βbookβ comes from an ancient root shared by βbeechβ, a wood that people used for engraving inscriptions. βPaperβ comes from βpapyrusβ, and βvolumeβ is from the Latin for a βrollβ of parchment.
Happy World Book Day.

My e-reader showing the cover of the book Tir by Carwyn Graves. It features lino cut images of trees and animals.
Loved reading 'Tir: The Story of the Welsh Landscape' by Carwyn Graves with @doersandimprovers.bsky.social. Beautiful book about the history of peoples' relationship with the land in Wales and how we might move forward in more sustainable ways.

Speaking of books, we had a wonderful conversation about Tir: The story of the Welsh Landscape by Carwyn Graves at @doersandimprovers.bsky.social last week. Such as lovely and thought-provoking book about peoples' relationship with the land in Wales.
