Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Plant Biology This book is intended primarily for medical students and others who do not necessarily intend to continue the study of botany, but who desire or are obliged to obtain some elementary knowledge of plaints, particularly in relation to general biology. It may perhaps also be useful in the highest forms of schools where biology is taught, as well as in training colleges. But it is unsuitable for pupils under seventeen. The book is based on the first portion, which deals mainly with plants, of the course in Elementary Biology for the Preliminary Examination in Science and the First Examination for the M.B. degree at Cambridge. This part of the course has been framed, in complete freedom as to the material chosen and its treatment, but in co-operation with the Professor of Zoology, to serve as an introduction to Biology suitable for freshmen, many of whom know nothing whatever of the subject. This first portion of the course, which is covered by the present work, occupies one term, and comprises twenty-four lectures and forty-eight hours of practical work in the laboratory. The rest of the course, which deals mainly with animals, comprises about thirty-six lectures and seventy-two hours of practical work, and includes some elementary treatment of heredity and evolution. No claim is made to ideal pedagogic method. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Botany It will be found that this book differs from most American text-books designed for use in secondary schools, in endeavor ing to combine in one volume the simplest possible directions for laboratory work with an outline of vegetable anatomy and physiology, and a brief statement of the principles of botani cal classification. An account of the functions of the tissues or organs described usually follows as closely as may be the account of the parts in question. The attempt is made to disciiss' plants dynamically rather than statically, to view them as contestants in the struggle for existence, and to con sider some of the conditions of success and failure in the vegetable world. While the determination of species by means of an artifical key is illustrated, preparation for this process is by no means the main object or even a principal end which the author has had in view. The tendency of botany-teaching seems to be more and more away from the old ideal of enabling one's pupils to run down a species as expeditiously as possible, and teaching them how to preserve a properly ticketed memento of the chase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Plant Anatomy This book contains the substance of the lectures given to the classes in the last half of the second year's course in botany, at Barnard College. The method followed in this course differs somewhat from that generally adopted in either home or foreign colleges. The study of botany, as a science, is comparatively new in this country, and therefore we have the advantage of the experience of Europe, where the science of botany has long held a place equal in rank with that of its related subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Plant Biology In the judgment Of the authors the kind of biology most worth while for the average boy or girl of fourteen years Of age is not' one based primarily on structure. Young stu dents are naturally more interested in activities or func tions than they are in mere form or structure. Hence, if we wish to work with, rather than against the grain, we must put function in the foreground of our discussion. Every boy and girl knows, too, that both plants and animals as well as human beings must have food and drink, and that they grow and reproduce their kind. It is relatively much easier, therefore, to unify a course like this along physiological lines than on the basis of morphology, or of homologies of structure, many of which are far too complicated to be made clear to young students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Plants: An Introduction to Botany and Plant Ecology The course of work followed in this book is directed, in the main, to the establishment of the fundamental principles of Plant Physiology. Plant Morphology receives a less extended treatment; but this aspect of the subject is freely introduced in the discussion of Plant Ecology, i. E. The relation of the structure and functions of plants to their habitat. More space has been devoted to Ecology than is usual in an ele mentary text-book, but the Author believes that this aspect of plant life gives to field work a more definite aim, and broadens the outlook of the student by linking up Botany with the study of climate, geology, and topography. Similarly, to avoid the weariness of lessons dealing merely with the comparison of forms, the Author has throughout treated the forms of roots, stems, and leaves in relation to their functions and to the habitat of the plant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Plant Biology: A Course of Elementary Lectures on the General Morphology and Physiology of Plants At the outset the use of the microscope is treated, and special consideration is given to microscopic measurement and to the reconstruction of microscopic objects in the solid. The plants chosen as subjects of study are necessarily limited in number. They have been selected, as fairly representing some of the more important subdivisions of the vegetable kingdom, and as being, at the same time, easy to procure. Attention is directed only to those points of their structure, life, history, and manner of living which are necessary in order that the student should appreciate some of the general principles of morphology, physiology, and evolution. The lectures deal first with the simpler forms, among which are to be found some of the most important so far as general biology is concerned. They then pass on to the more complicated, and gradually lead the student to some knowledge of the development, structure, and physiology of the higher plants.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Botany Classic Reprint written by C. Stuart Gager and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fundamentals of Botany From the standpoint of pure science, the most funda mental problem of botany is that of the development of the individual plant; the ultimate problem that of the development of the kingdom of plants. In other words the foundation and the ultimate goal are, respectively, ontogeny (life-history of the individual) and phylogeny (life - history of the race). Ontogeny is fundamental because without a knowledge of its processes the processes of phylogeny cannot be com prehended. Phylogeny is the ultimate problem because its complete solution involves an orderly description of all the phenomena of plant life, and their relation to each other. Thanks to the nature-study movement, most students have nowadays acquired some knowledge of the parts and a few of the functions of a flowering plant before they take up the study of formal botany; for such, Chapter II will serve only as a timely review; for others, as an essential preparation for the subsequent chapters of Part I.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Botany The order of treatment here adopted is first to give a general notion of the world-wide distribution and importance Of plants; then to enable the pupil to see the whole plant as a working machine; then to discuss more in detail the structure and work Of the higher plants, each region of which performs a definite part Of the work of the whole machine; then very briefly to present a general view of the great groups. Although through out the book the plants used as the basis Of study are usually those of common interest, a few of the most practical topics, such as timber and forestry, weeds, plant breeding, and the plant industries, are given separate treatment, with as much detail as is possible in a brief course. The structure, functions, and ecological relations of plants are presented throughout the book in a synthetic manner. Questions pertaining to the interpretation and application of different features Of plant life are introduced in the text and at the ends of chapters. Other similar questions raised by the teacher will be found helpful in presenting problems that the pupil should be able to solve in connection with his studies. Such problems help to develop the constant attitude Of inquiry which science attempts to establish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plant Cell, Its Modifications and Vital Processes: A Manual for Students IN order to study the life - phenomena of any organism, and to arrive at a definite explanation of them, it is often found necessary to enquire into its minute structure; and, in the case of the plant, the study of the cell, including its form, growth, component parts, and the varied conditions under which it can exist, is an essential part of the science of Botany, as a branch of Biology. The facts and features brought to light by the microscope, coupled with those pertaining to Chemistry and Physics, have long afforded proofs of statements and observations which were formerly only regarded in the light of speculation. In the following pages the object will be to give a con cise and correct idea Of the principal structural elements of plant-tissues; stress has been laid upon practical microscopical observations and reactions with various reagents, for these, although generally simple to perform, sometimes afford a very clear demonstration of important life-factors. A brief account has also been given of the most important chemical and physical phenomena occurring in a cell.
