The Diversity and Evolution of Plants
Author: Lorentz C. Pearson
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000947106
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 682
Book Description
This exciting new textbook examines the concepts of evolution as the underlying cause of the rich diversity of life on earth-and our danger of losing that rich diversity. Written as a college textbook, The Diversity and Evolution of Plants introduces the great variety of life during past ages, manifested by the fossil record, using a new natural classification system. It begins in the Proterozoic Era, when bacteria and bluegreen algae first appeared, and continues through the explosions of new marine forms in the Helikian and Hadrynian Periods, land plants in the Devonian, and flowering plants in the Cretaceous. Following an introduction, the three subkingdoms of plants are discussed. Each chapter covers one of the eleven divisions of plants and begins with an interesting vignette of a plant typical of that division. A section on each of the classes within the division follows. Each section describes where the groups of plants are found and their distinguishing features. Discussions in each section include phylogeny and classification, general morphology, and physiology, ecological significance, economic uses, and potential for research. Suggested readings and student exercises are found at the end of each chapter.

People's Warrior
Author: Michael R. Lemov
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1611470242
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
It is hard to believe that there was a time when there was no right to obtain government information, no protection against hazards in children's toys and other consumer products, no federal safety standards for motor vehicles, and no insurance to protect an investors' money and securities in brokerage accounts. These and other consumer rights were created only after political battles in the decade between 1966 and 1976. This book is the story of that era and one of its leaders, Congressman John Moss. It describes key laws that were enacted by Congress despite political opposition. Moss fought for twelve years, against three presidents and, at times, his own party, for a freedom of information law that has stood the test of time and been copied around the world. He went on to challenge Wall Street in a battle to enact new investor protection laws.
