Plants And Beekeeping $46.41 PLANTS AND BEEKEEPING an account of those plants, wild and cultivated, of value to the hive bee, and for honey production in the British Isles by F. N. HOWES, D. Sc. PREFACE: There has been a marked increase of interest in beekeeping and the production of honey throughout the country in recent years. This may have been initiated by the Second World War, with the consequent shortage of sweetening materials, and partly by other considerations, such as the better understand ing of some of the major bee diseases that now prevails. The num ber of beekeepers has been doubled or trebled in many localities according to the statistics of Beekeepers Associations and doubtless the total production of home-produced Honey ka MDeen stepped up considerably. It is to be hoped this increase in the Nations annual honey crop will continue, and, what is of even greater importance, that this increase in the nations bee population will also be main tained, for it has been proved that the main value of the honey bee in the national economy is as a pollinator for fruit, clovers, and other seed and farm crops. Its value in this respect far outweighs its value as a producer of honey. Plant nectar has been described as the raw material of the honey industry and those plants that produce it, in a manner available to the honey bee, constitute the very foundations of apiculture. They are obviously of first importance to the beekeeper, whether he or she is a large or small scale beekeeper or belongs to the hobbyist class. A knowledge of these plants and their relative values, for nectar or for pollen, is likely to add much to the pleasure and the profit of beekeeping. An attempt has here been made to deal with the more important bee plants in the British Isles as well as many others that are only of minor importance. Among the latter are to be found both wild and garden plants. Although not sufficiently prevalent in most cases to affect honey yields to any extent such plants have been purposely i@G4záG®ÿ¾Úð

Some force themselves into the cracks of the bark, wood, or rocks, or are attached by minute latercl fibres, while others, like the Ampelopsis, produce small flattened discs on the ends of their many-branched, root-like organs each disc becoming fastened to whatever object that happens to be within reach. Tendrils are merely modified forms of the same organs in these and allied plants, possessing various morphological characters, often changing and serving different purposes. In many species of plants having woody stems, like the Grape, Passion-flower aud American Ivy, the tendrils are really metamorphosed flower-stalks, for while the larger proportion serve in assisting the plant to climb and retain a position where the leaves will be exposed to the light, a much smaller number on the same plant may blossom and eventually become a bunch of fruit; that is, a bunch of fruit on such plants is merely a productive tendril. It is only a few?from one to five?of the tendrils first formed on the young Grape- canes of the season that are fruitful, all that are produced later being unproductive or barren, possessing great irritability, which causes them to cling to or twine about any object with which they come in contact.

Flowering Plants $289.81 From the foreword by Peter RavenpTakhtajana (TM)s most important achievement has been the development of his phylogenetic system of the flowering plants, a system that has greatly influenced all other recent systems of classification a ]a ].. The classification presented in the current book should be understood as a summary of a lifea (TM)s study of plants and the system that his insights support a the work of a very great botanist that takes into account not only his own meticulous studies but as much of the contemporary information as he was able to assimilate and take into account. a ]. The new insights and ideas in the book likewise will inspire new levels of thinking about the relationships between the families of angiosperms and their evolutionary history, including the convergent and parallel evolution of particular features. (excerpt from the foreword by Peter Raven)pArmen Takhtajan is among the greatest authorities in the world on the evolution of plants. This book culminates almost sixty years of the scientist's research of the origin and classification of the flowering plants. It presents a continuation of Dr. Takhtajana (TM)s earlier publications including a oeSystema Magnoliophytoruma (1987), (in Russian), and a oeDiversity and Classification of Flowering Plantsa (1997), (in English). In his latest book, the author presents a concise and significantly revised system of plant classification (a ~Takhtajan systema (TM)) based on the most recent studies in plant morphology, embryology, phytochemistry, cytology, molecular biology and palynology. Flowering plants are divided into two classes: class Magnoliopsida (or Dicotyledons) includes 8 subclasses, 126 orders, c. 440 families, almost 10,500 genera, and no less than 195,000 species; and class Liliopsida (or Monocotyledons) includes 4 subclasses, 31 orders, 120 families, more than 3,000 genera, and about 65,000 species.This book contains a detailed description of plant orders, and descriptive keys to p@rõÂ?\)ÿ¾Úð

Story of the Plants $21.88 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER III. HOW PLANTS CAME TO DIFFER FROM ONE ANOTHER. All plants are not now alike. Some are trees, some herbs; some are roses, some buttercups. Yet we have a certain amount of reason to believe that they are all descended from one and the same original ancestor; and we shall see by and by that we can often trace the various stages in their long development. They differ immensely. Some of them are more advanced and more complex than their neighbours; some are small and low, while others are tall and strong; some, like nettles and grasses, have simple and inconspicuous flowers, while others, like lilies and orchids, have beautiful and very complicated blossoms, highly arranged in such ways as to attract and entice particular insects to visit and fertilise them. Again, some have tiny dry fruits, with small round seeds, which fall on the ground unheeded; while others have brilliant red or yellow berries, or winged or feathery seeds, especially fitted for special modes of dispersion. In short, there are plants which seem, as it were, very low and uncivilised, while there are others which display, so to speak, all the latest modern inventions and improvements. The question is, How did they thus come to differ from one another ? What made them vary in such diverse ways from the primitive pattern ? In order to understand the answer which modern science gives to this question, we must first glance briefly at certain early steps in thehistory of the process which we call creation or evolution. The earliest plants, we saw, were in all probability mere tiny green jelly-specks, floating free in water, and taking from it small quantities of dissolved carbonic acid, which they manufactured for themselves into green living material when sunlight fell upon them. Now we shall ha...

On Integration in Plants $29.99 pBased on the author's long life of study, observation, and experimentation, this book clears the way for the exploration of many problems in an area of botanical research about which little substantial biochemical information is yet available. Mr. Dost&#225l's investigations largely concern the interrelations among the different organs of plants and the ways in which the various components of the plant correlate to form an integrated whole./ppMr. Dost&#225l writes that he early acquired the certitude that all regulations in plants take place with an absolute determinism, an iron necessity. He describes many very simple experiments, such as removing all the leaves of a horse chestnut and all the new leaves that follow, until ultimately leaves of an entirely different form, pinnate like those of a legume, develop. Experiments on algae, in parallel with those on higher plants, add to the breadth of the coverage. Much of the work has not been published in scientific journals, and is here presented in simple terms comprehensible to the intelligent layman./ppThe author also discusses the vital part played by inhibiting substances in the development of the primordia of leaves and other organs, serving as regulators and conservators of reserves, so as to ensure unified organization instead of the chaos that would otherwise result. He finds, too, that his experiments support the idea, now becoming widely accepted, that food for plants may be regarded as a condition rather than a causal factor in their growth and development. As an extension of Mr. Dost&#225l's experimental observations, 40 original figures containing 161 partial illustrations are of exceptional value./ppForeword by Kenneth V.

THE EFFECTS OF NON-NITROGENOUS AND NITROGENOUS ORGANIC FLUIDS ON THE LEAVES. Non-nitrogenous fluids -- Solutions of gum arable -- Sugar -- Starch -- Diluted alcohol -- Olive oil -- Infusion and decoction of tea -- Nitrogenous fluids -- Milk -- Urine -- Liquid albumen -- Infusion of raw meat -- Impure mucus -- Saliva -- Solution of isinglass -- Difference in the action of these two sets of fluids -- Decoction of green peas -- Decoction and infusion of cabbage -- Decoction of grass leaves. When, in 1860, I first observed Drosera, and was led to believe that the leaves absorbed nutritious matter from insects which they captured, it seemed to me a good plan to make some preliminary trials with a few common fluids, containing and not containing nitrogenous matter: and the results are worth giving. In all the following cases a drop was allowed to fall from the same pointed instrument on the centre of the leaf; and by repeated trials one of these drops was ascertained to be on an average very nearly half a minim, or fv of a fluid ounce, or .0295 cc. But these measurements obviously do not pretend to any strict accuracy; moreover, the drops of the viscid fluids were plainly larger than those of water. Only one leaf on the same plant was tried, and the plants were collected from two distant localities. The experiments were made during August and September. In judgin...

Excerpt from book: are peculiar in nature and structure, and are only found in particular localities, but wherever they are native they grow very plentifully. A knowledge of these connecting links of our island with Germany or France is of much interest, and adds real delight to the mind of one who travels either at home or abroad, with a desire for knowledge of all the varied and beautiful objects which adorn our earth, not merely wandering for the sake of change, or for a renewal of health of body. It may be said these are but slight matters and of no value; still, if only one degree in the scale of knowledge be thus gained, or one pure feeling excited from having the mind expanded, be it ever so little, towards the comprehension of the works of creation, it is of unknown value. Visible things do assist us to understand the invisible; and when we have climbed one step up a mountain path we are encouraged to go onward, till a wide and glorious prospect from the summit be obtained. We have in this division of regions of plants, remarked that some belonging to the warmer South are found in the West of Ireland; and also that some plants of northern Germany are wanting in the West of our island. This leads on to the consideration of the cause. The western lands of Britain are warmer than theeastern in the same latitude, being under the genial influence of the warm winds coming over the Atlantic ocean. Thus, on extending this observation, we perceive that on the West coast of Norway, barley and oats are cultivated as far as 70 of North latitude, whilst on the East coast of North America, these corn plants cease at 52- The pines and firs of Norway are in full vigour at 60 on the shores of the western Fiords, but disappear at a lower latitude in the interior country.

The Evolution Of Plants $15.84 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER IV THE EVOLUTION OF THE SEED-PLANTS The Cycadophytes of the Secondary period, as we saw in the last chapter, were very highly organised plants, their dominant family, the Bennettitese, far surpassing the modem Cyc- adacese and rivalling the Angiosperms themselves. This superiority of the old to the new might seem surprising if we took the obvious view that Evolution is a regular progression from the simple to the complex. This, however, is far from being the case; Evolution is to be compared to the successive waves of a flowing tide, rather than to the steady rise of a calm river. In Mesozoic times the Cycadophytes formed the wave that rose highest, but soon that wave receded, and another followed and rose higher still. The Cycadophyta, hi fact, were then the dominant class; there was nothing above them; they were the best thing in the way of Flowering Plants that their age had produced; from their triumphant success, overspreading all parts of the world, we cannot doubt that they were perfectly suited to the conditions then prevailing. Later on, the conditions became morecomplex, a change in which the increasing multiplicity of insect life was no doubt a chief factor. The Angiosperms, arising probably as an offshoot from the Cycadophyte stock, thus found their opportunity and rapidly fitted themselves into the numberless new places that the changing world presented to them. The higher members of the old family were no longer able to compete with their more enterprising younger line; the ancient race decayed, and, for all we know, became extinct; the less advanced Cycads did not come into such direct competition with the ascendant race, and have survived, in moderate numbers, as the recent Cycadacese. A Mesozoic genus of Cycads, NUssonia, of uncertain family, i...

Insectivorous Plants $19.17 It follows from these few facts that different kinds of seeds excite the leaves in very different degrees; whether this is solely due to the nature of their coats is not clear. In the case of the cress seeds, the partial removal of the layer of mucus hastened the inflection of the tentacles. Whenever the leaves remain inflected during several days over seeds, it is clear that they absorb some matter from them.

Plants for the Future: A Gardener's Wishbook $1.68 In these lively and provocative essays, Jerome Malitz explores how ornamental plants could be improved through hybridization and genetic engineering. With the golden age of plant discovery now mainly a thing of the past, the quest for new varieties leads to the laboratory or to chance mutations in the garden. Biotechnological innovations such as protoplast fusion, gene transfer, and in vitro fertilization are already being applied to create new and improved plants. Such scientific methods will no doubt play an ever-increasing role in the development of new garden plants. In easy to understand language, the first part of the book offers an introduction to the basics of taxonomy, heredity, genetic engineering, and biotechnology as they relate to the possibilities for creating new plants for a variety of environments. In addition, Malitz discusses a variety of plant characteristics most pleasing and useful to gardeners, such as vigor; cold, heat, and salt tolerance; disease and insect resistance; and duration of bloom period. The second part of Plants for the Future is an extensive wishlist of detailed breeding goals for specific plants. Forty-five plant families are discussed, presenting their merits and shortcomings - and the characteristics that gardeners admire in them. The author suggests possible hybrids that may bring out the very best traits to enhance the gardens of the future.

Excerpt from book: MAMMALS. FRAGMENTARY NOTES ON THE MAMMALIA OF CUMBERLAND SOUND. BY LUDWIG KUMLIEN. The following list contains little else than fragmentary notes on such species as I procured, or with certainty identified, during my short sojourn in the northern waters of Cumberland Sound (the Hogarth Sound of Penny), at about lat. 67 K. The region about our winter harbor was rnarvelously barren, and very few mammals are found there. Its location is such that many of the species that frequent the southern waters are seldom found about An- nanactook, as it is so far inland. It is a rarity for a bear to stray up the sound any distance, and some of the seals and most of the cetaceans are only of irregular occurrence. Near the southern entrance of the sound, however, the harp seal, polar bear, walrus, and many of the cetaceans, are regular visitors. I have not the least doubt that many cetaceans are found in these waters that I did not see. Should I place confidence in the information of whalemen regarding whales, I could easily make out many species, and some very marvelous ones; but my experience has been that whalemen generally are not to be relied upon in this matter, as they confound species to such a degree that one can never unravel the snarl, and their own peculiar nomenclature makes matters worse instead of better. My stay was also much too short for anything like a satisfactory investigation of certain interesting problems. I was even obliged to leave some valuable skeletons, and could have procured many more had there been any place to stow them away on shipboard. There seems to be a prevalent belief among the Eskimo, as well as the whalemen, that the mammals have disappeared from this section of country at a wonderful rate within the last few years. I found the rem...

Poisonous Plants of Pakistan (Hardcover) $19.95 Many people regard plants as an integral part of their natural surroundings, to be used as food or medicine or even for decoration. However, not so many people realise that of the 300,000 or so identified species of plants in the world, around 700 are known to be poisonous, and many of these surround us in our daily lives, in our gardens and sometimes even in our homes. In Poisonous Plants of Pakistan, the author has collected, in one volume, information about the poisonous plants that can be found in Pakistan, which previously could only be found in scattered, specialized scientific papers. Detailed descriptions of the plants and how to avoid injury from them are accompanied by author`s own accurate illustrations which highlight the poisonous parts of each plant. There is also useful information on how to recognise the symptoms of poisoning and provide first aid. Although this book is detailed enough to be a valuable reference book for specialists such as botanists, veterinarians, agriculturists, foresters, medical practitioners, hakims and homeopaths, it will also appeal to a wider readership since it contains, in a very accessible form, much that will be of interest to the general reader as well.

Plants at the Margin[eBook] $51.69 pMargins are by their very nature environmentally unstable - does it therefore follow that plant populations adapted for life in such areas will prove to be pre-adapted to withstand the changes that may be brought about by a warmer world? Biogeography, demography, reproductive biology, physiology and genetics all provide cogent explanations as to why limits occur where they do, and the purpose of this book is to bring together these different avenues of enquiry. Crawford's numerous beautiful illustrations of plants in their natural habitats remind us that the environment remains essential to our understanding of plants and their function. This book is suited to students, researchers and anyone with an interest in the impact of climate change on our world.

The Garden Plants of China $25.25 It is hard to imagine gardens without peonies, flowering peaches, camellias, gardenias, azaleas, wisteria, forsythia, crabapples, and the host of other ornamentals that were introduced first in Chinese gardens. And the development of the modern repeat-flowering roses would not have occurred had the so-called monthly roses not been brought to Europe from China. In spite of the romance and excitement generated by the discoveries of the famous plant hunters in the wilds of China, the Chinese plants with the greatest impact on the gardens of the world have actually come from Chinese gardens and nurseries.Over a very long period the Chinese have selected and developed an array of ornamental plants to use in the composition and adornment of their gardens. On the whole, unlike the gardeners of the Western world, they have not continuously sought novelty, preferring plants rich not only in physical beauty but in historical, literary, and symbolic associations. And the connection in China between the cultivation of ornamental plants and their representation in art, literature and decoration has long been an intimate one. In short, whether they be highly developed cultivars which can survive only with human aid or merely species saved from extinction or near extinction, the garden plants of China make up a very significant part of its cultural heritage. As mentioned above, they are valued not merely for their appearance but as icons of values and ideals accumulated over many centuries of appreciation. And these products of some 2000 or more years of Chinese horticultural endeavour eventually came to enrich gardens in much of the rest of the world, albeit cut off from their deep cultural roots and meaningless in symbolic terms to those who have little or no idea of their long past. Amongst the best known of these plants are peaches, peonies, chrysanthemums, camellias, gardenias, azaleas, forsythias, wisteria, and crabapples, to mention but a few.

A History of Genetically Modified Plants $11.99 An excellent... comprehensive history of the development of transgenic plants. -- ChoiceLurquin's book is the first to describe accurately the history of plant genetic engineering. For students labouring at the bench and getting frustrated at the lack of reproducibility of their experiments, reading this work will provide reassurance. Even scientists who are no longer at the bench... will find it an important reminder that research is a demanding task, with much disappointment and controversy, and few successes. -- NaturepProviding the first account of the story behind genetically engineered plants, Paul F. Lurquin covers the controversial birth of the field, its sudden death, phoenixlike reemergence, and ultimate triumph as not only a legitimate field of science but a new tool of multinational corporate interests. In addition, Lurquin looks ahead to the potential impact this revolutionary technology will have on human welfare.pAs Lurquin shows, it was the intense competition between international labs that resulted in the creation of the first transgenic plants. Two very different approaches to plant genetic engineering came to fruition at practically the same time, and Lurquin's account demonstrates how cross-fertilization between the two areas was critical to success. The scientists concerned were trying to tackle some very basic scientific problems and did not foresee the way that corporations would apply their methodology. With detailed accounts of the work of individual scientists and teams all over the world, Lurquin pieces together a remarkable account.

American Medicinal Plants of Commercial Importance $27.11 Among the wild plants of the United States are many that have long been used in the practice of medicine, some only locally and to a minor extent, but others in sufficient quantity to make them commercially important. The collection of such plants for the crude-drug market provides a livelihood for many people in rural communities, especially in those regions where the native flora has not been disturbed by agricultural or industrial expansion and urban development. There is an active interest in the collection of medicinal plants because it appeals to many people as an easy means of making money. However, it frequently requires hard work, and the returns, on the whole, are very moderate. Of the many plants reported to possess medicinal properties, relatively few are marketable, and some of these are required only in small quantities. Persons without previous experience in collecting medicinal plants should first ascertain which of the marketable plants are to be found in their own locality and then learn to recognize them. Before undertaking the collection of large quantities, samples of the bark, root, herb, or other available material should be submitted to reliable dealers in crude drugs to ascertain the market requirements at the time and the prevailing prices. To persons without botanical training it is difficult to describe plants in sufficient detail to make identification possible unless such descriptions are accompanied by illustrations. It is the purpose of this publication to assist those interested in collecting medicinal plants to identify such plants and to furnish other useful information in connection with the work.

Physiology and Behaviour of Plants $49.98 <b><i>Physiology and Behaviour of Plants</i></b> looks at plants and how they sense and respond to their environment. It takes the traditional plant physiology book into a new dimension by demonstrating how the biochemical observations underlie the behaviour of the plant. In many ways the book parallels courses studied at university on animal physiology and behaviour. The plant has to meet the same challenges as an animal to survive, but overcomes these challenges in very different ways. Students learn to think of plants not only as dynamic organisms, but aggressive, territorial organisms capable of long-range communication.<p>Hallmark features include:<ul><li>Based on a successful course that the author has run for several years at Sussex University, UK<li>Relates plant biochemistry to plant function<li>Printed in four colour throughout<li>Includes a wealth of illustrations and photographs that engages the reader’s attention and reinforce key concepts explored within the text<li>Presents material in a modern ‘topic’ based approach, with many relevant and exciting examples to inspire the student<li>An accompanying web site will include teaching supplements</ul><p>This innovative textbook is the ultimate resource for all students in biology, horticulture, forestry and agriculture. <p>Companion website for this title is available at  <a href=http://www.wiley.com/go/scott/plants>www.wiley.com/go/scott/plants</a><b>Chapter 1 Introducing Plants</b><p><b>Introduction</b><p><b>The beginning: the evolution of plants and the major divisions</b><p><b>Conquering the land</b><p><b>The evolution of lignin</b><p><b>Plants and mass extinction</b><p><b>Floristic kingdoms, Biogeography and Biomes</b><p><b&g@Hýp£×ÿ¾Úð
