The book comprises single chapters authored by various researchers and
edited by an expert active in the medical research area. All chapters are
complete in itself but united under a common research study topic. This
publication aims at providing a thorough overview of the latest research efforts
by international authors on herbs and spices, and opening new possible research
paths for further novel developments.
This book is intended primarily for travelers and flower lovers who wish a short
cut to recognizing flowers seen on excursions or from car windows. It consists
of the twenty-five color plates to be found in Rocky Mountain Flowers, representing one hundred and seventy-five of the
most beautiful and striking flowers of the mountains and plains of the West.
Botany is the scientific study of plants and plant-like organisms. It
helps us understand why plants are so vitally important to the world. There were
two main ideas author attempted to embed here are : one was to put as much
plant-related information as possible into an evolutionary context, and the
other was to explain complicated problems with simple words and metaphors.
Charles Darwin was an English
naturalist and author best-known for his revolutionary theories on the origin of
species, human evolution, and natural selection. This book is first
printed in book form in 1875 by John Murray. Originally, the text appeared as
essay in the 9th volume of the Journal of the Linnean Society, therefore the
first edition in book form is actually called the ‘second edition, revised.’
Illustrations were drawn by Charles Darwin’s son, George Darwin.
This book is designed to furnish classes
in our schools and colleges with a suitable text book of Structural and
Physiological Botany, as well as private students with a convenient introductory
manual, adapted to the present condition of the science.
This volume takes the place of the author's Lessons in Botany and Vegetable
Physiology, published over a quarter of a century ago. It is constructed on the
same lines, and is a kind of new and much revised edition of that successful
work.
This structural work
has been supplemented by so much classification as will serve to make clear the
relationships of different groups, and the principles upon which the
classification is based, as well as enable the student to recognize the commoner
types of the different groups as they are met with. The aim of this book is not,
however, merely the identification of plants.
This book covers the following topics: Plant Societies, The Plant Body, Seeds and Germination, The Root — The Forms of
Roots, Function and Structure, The Stem — Kinds and Forms, Pruning and General
Structure, Leaves: Form, Position, Structure, Anatomy and Function or Work,
Fruits.
This
note covers the following topics: Stems, Texture and Growth of Stems, Life
Cycles of Plants, Stems as Food, Leaves, Buds, Roots, Flowers, Fruit and Seeds.
