Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Azalea, flowering cherry, peony, lily, pachysandra...For centuries Japan has been the source of some of the most popular and commonplace plants in our gardens. Yet before now there existed no general guide to the great wealth and variety of Japanese plants readily available in North America. Here at last is everything you need to know about how to select and maintain Japanese plants and a list of nurseries across the United States from which you can easily obtain them. Judy Glattstein, a bestselling garden book writer, has found out which plants will thrive in New England and which in New Mexico, which plants will survive city windowboxes and which the wilds of suburban backyards. Included are chapters on groundcovers, vines, trees, and shrubs, as well as perennials, and alpine and water plants. In-depth descriptions of the plants are accompanied by 34 color photographs and 33 black-and-white botanical illustrations. Glattstein's advice on plant selection and care is clear enough to help the novice and detailed enough to satisfy expert gardeners. Whatever style of garden you choose, there are plants from Japan - both well known and exotic - that will be right for you.

Download or read book Crop Stress Management and Global Climate Change written by José Luis Araus and published by CABI. This book was released on 2011 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture has shaped our planet into the world we know, but its continued success is threatened by changing weather patterns. Climate change is a diverse, multifactorial phenomenon and the agronomic strategies we employ to combat its effects need to be case-specific, with significant regional differences. With two major sections, the first explaining the challenges posed by climate change and the second reviewing the current research avenues employed, this book combines detailed discussion of physiological plant responses with practical experience on crop stress management and breeding. Using a number of illustrative case studies, it discusses how the stresses resulting from climate change could be overcome by assessing, measuring and predicting environmental changes and stresses, and identifying opportunities for adapting to multifactorial change. A global effort to combine climate change science with policy is desperately needed. Climate change will continue to pose many challenges to agriculture in the future but by taking an integrative approach to predicting and adapting to change, this book will inspire researchers to turn those challenges into opportunities.

Download or read book Biomimetics for Architecture Design written by Göran Pohl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the readers with a timely guide to the application of biomimetic principles in architecture and engineering design. As a result of a combined effort by two internationally recognized authorities, the biologist Werner Nachtigall and the architect Göran Pohl, the book describes the principles which can be used to compare nature and technology, and at the same time it presents detailed explanations and examples showing how biology can be used as a source of inspiration and “translated” in building and architectural solutions (biomimicry). Even though nature cannot be directly copied, the living world can provide architects and engineers with a wealth of analogues and inspirations for their own creative designs. But how can analysis of natural entities give rise to advanced and sustainable design? By reporting on the latest bionic design methods and using extensive artwork, the book guides readers through the field of nature-inspired architecture, offering an extraordinary resource for professional architects, engineers, designers and urban planners, as well as for university teachers, researchers and students. Natural evolution is seen throughout the book as a powerful resource that can serve architecture and design by providing innovative, optimal and sustainable solutions.
