Geography of India
Forests and Gardens of South India
The Highlands of Central india
The Forests and Gardens of South India has a list of telugu names of trees.
1.Bauhinia racemosa or Are chettu or sonpatta referring to the tradition of exchanging leaves on Dussehra. It is also used in making Slow match
2. Aggi mida guggilam is an idiom in Telugu. Now I understand what it means. Guggilam is Boswellia glabra tree. aggi is fire. So the idiom 'aggi mida guggilam' refers to adding fuel to the fire.
3. Indian yellow or Memecylon Tinctorium
4. Acacia Ferruginea
5. Canthium Parviflorium or balisu. Reminds me of bathikunte balisaku aina thinocchu which translates if you manage out alive you can live on the spare seeming leaves of this tree.
6. Trophis Aspera or Tinda Perua
7. Bombax Ceiba referred to as Salmalia Malabarica earlier
8. Spathodea Roxburghii
9. Chloroxylon Swietenia or Bilugu
10. Croton Oblongifolius or Bhutankusham
11. Nauclea Orientalis or Botta Karami
12. Careya Arborea or Buda darmi
13. Terminalia catappa or Badam or almond

Choosing the book
While reading Out on a Limb, I wondered if sub-consciously what I heard of vanishing polar bears wasnt also a reason to pick this book.
Reading books
1. The goal should be to know something instead of reading a book. Like having fun instead of living.
2. A book gives you history and widens your peek zone across time. say for example an article on long distance running would be a how-to while a book on it will trace how the idea gained weight and how far back in time did it start, making your acquaintance of tribes you havent heard of.
