Manual of Cultivated Conifers
Author: P. den Ouden

ISBN: 9400997590
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 532
Book Description
As an introduction to the present book I would like to explain how it was, that I, a commercial nurseryman, became so keenly interested in Conifers and their nomen clature. In August 1924 the Dutch Dendrological Society was founded and at the same time a Committee for Nomenclature of woody plants was set up and I served on this committee as one of the members. Our first activity was to bring the catalogues of the various leading nurserymen in the Netherlands into line with the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature and also to check their nursery stock. Formerly these catalogues had shown a rather confused nomenclature, nurserymen having usually made use of a variety of inconsistent books as guides in compiling their catalogues. In the course of the work a close co-operation between scientific and practical workers developed. Although I had also fully contributed to the correct naming of hardy shrubs and perennials, 1 was most interested in Conifers. I had tried out several species, had grown a wide choice of garden forms and selected types of particular merit for propagation. My special love for Conifers lead to the publication of my Name-list of Conifers (1937), which was adopted as a standard for varietal names at the International Horticultural Congress in Berlin (1938). Later I prepared my book 'Coniferen, Ephedra en Ginkgo' in the Dutch language (1949); compiling the Conifers cultivated or known to be grown in the Netherlands and Belgium at that time.

Book Description
Excerpt from Veitch's Manual of the Coniferae: Containing a General Review of the Order; A Synopsis of the Species Cultivated in Great Britain; Their Botanical History, Economic Properties, Place and Use in Agriculture, Etc, Etc In this revised edition of Veitch's Manual of Coniferae I have endeavoured to collect from the best available sources every item of information that should prove useful and interesting to amateurs of this remarkable family of trees and shrubs and also to foresters and horticulturists. The descriptions of the species have been drawn up from fresh materials and from an inspection of the subjects themselves wherever practicable, and trees of the same species growing in different and distant parts of Great Britain have been visited with this object. In the comparatively few instances in which this has not been done, the descriptions are those of the authorities quoted. With the view of conveying an idea as accurate as can be obtained of the condition and aspect of the most important coniferous trees as seen in their native forests, the accounts of them given by those who have explored the forests are transcribed wholly or in part in preference to any studied paraphrasing of their statements. Especial attention has been given to the geographical distribution of the species and the climatic conditions under which they grow in their native homes, on the conviction that correct information on these points affords material aid to the successful cultivation of them in Great Britain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Kingdoms and Domains
Author: Lynn Margulis
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0080920144
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 732
Book Description
Now published by Academic Press and revised from the author's previous Five Kingdoms Third edition, this extraordinary, all inclusive catalogue of the world's living organisms describes the diversity of the major groups, or phyla, of nature's most inclusive taxa. Developed after consultation with specialists, this modern classification scheme is consistent both with the fossil record and with recent molecular, morphological and metabolic data. Generously illustrated, now in full color, Kingdoms and Domains is remarkably easy to read. It accesses the full range of life forms that still inhabit our planet and logically and explicitly classifies them according to their evolutionary relationships. Definitive characteristics of each phylum are professionally described in ways that, unlike most scientific literature, profoundly respect the needs of educators, students and nature lovers. This work is meant to be of interest to all evolutionists as well as to conservationists, ecologists, genomicists, geographers, microbiologists, museum curators, oceanographers, paleontologists and especially nature lovers whether artists, gardeners or environmental activists.Kingdoms and Domains is a unique and indispensable reference for anyone intrigued by a planetary phenomenon: the spectacular diversity of life, both microscopic and macroscopic, as we know it only on Earth today. - New Foreword by Edward O. Wilson - The latest concepts of molecular systematics, symbiogenesis, and the evolutionary importance of microbes - Newly expanded chapter openings that define each kingdom and place its members in context in geological time and ecological space - Definitions of terms in the glossary and throughout the book - Ecostrips, illustrations that place organisms in their most likely environments such as deep sea vents, tropical forests, deserts or hot sulfur springs - A new table that compares features of the most inclusive taxa - Application of a logical, authoritative, inclusive and coherent overall classification scheme based on evolutionary principles
