Book excerpt: The explosive in place. The fuse set. One individual holds the key to defusing it, or detonating it. Following a calamitous space battle, a small damaged pod drifts amid the debris, a single individual aboard, clinging to the final moments of life. A ship, hidden behind a small orange and red hued moon while the battle raged, approaches the debris field, searching for items to salvage and discovers the pod. The serendipitous encounter of two strangers in space spawns an extraordinary journey and a shared destiny neither could have imagined, which will decide the fate of two worlds on the brink of war. A discerning and cautious General, aware of the devastation a war will wrought, seeks to avoid it. A ruling Governor, imprisoned by culture and tradition, is determined to pursue it. And a clandestine operative races against time in search of the key to prevent it.

In view of this incredible richness of indigenous Chinese plant life with its 192 species of gymnosperms, 4660 species of monocotyledons, and 21,902 species of dicotyledons (p. xv), the would-be plant identifier will welcome all the assistance he or she can get.” TAXON “The book appears to be very comprehensive … The book fills a gap and is very valuable to botanists, plant geographists, ecologists and advanced students as well as to plant physiologists who want to know more about the nature and the location of Chinese seed plants.” J Plant Physiol “China is one of the most botanically-rich temperate regions. This book contains concise descriptions of all the major groups of seed plants, classified under the Englerian system into 49 orders and 335 families. A key to the families in each order is given, along with an account of their diagnostic character. The genera within each family and their distribution are discussed.

Book excerpt: For over a century, and across five generations, the Veitch family pioneered the introduction of hundreds of new plants into gardens, conservatories and houses and were amongst the foremost European cultivators and hybridisers of their day. The story begins in 1768 when a Scotsman called John Veitch came to England to find his fortune, starting out as a gardener for the aristocracy. Realising that horticultural mania had begun to spread throughout the social classes, John's son, James, opened a nursery in Exeter and began to send some of the first commercial plant collectors into the Americas, Australia, India, Japan, China and the South Seas. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the Veitch's had become key figures within the gardening establishment, involved with the Royal Horticultural Society from its beginnings and the great Chelsea Flower Show. Combining an historian's eye for detail with a flair for storytelling, Shephard charts the fortunes of one family and through them tells the fascinating story of the modern English garden.
