Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ferns and Flowering Plants of Isle Royale, Michigan After the formation of the lava beds, this area passed through a period during which there was an elevation Of the rock strata, erosion, depression, depositions Of new material, then elevation, tilting, and faulting, all Of of which resulted in the formation Of long narrow ridges with intervening valleys, which lie parallel to the long axis of the island. The rock strata were tilted toward the south shore of Lake Superior, and the degree Of tilting varies from 9° to 43° in various places. Then softer strata dis integrated, leaving the truncated ridges with gentle slopes on the southern side and with abrupt, steep slopes on the northern side. The ridges are mainly flat-topped, and the mam one, commonly called the Greenstone Ridge, is a divide which extends in the center and for the entire length of the island. This is broken into low gaps in three or four places. On this ridge there are three places which have an elevation above 500 feet according to contours drawn by Lane in 1908. Unpublished studies of George M. Stanley show that the highest portion Of the Greenstone Ridge is on the southwestern part Of the island and has an elevation close to 800 feet above lake level. Near the north shore Of the island is another ridge, the Minong Trap Ridge, which extends nearly the length Of the island and is above the 300-foot contour line. South of the Greenstone Ridge is a ridge which is much broker} but contains many points reaching above the 300-foot level. In addition to these main ridges there are many smaller intervening ones. Drainage is mostly parallel with the ridges. Some of the small streams in the intervening valleys empty into Lake Superior at the northeastern end, and others flow to the southwestern end. A few streams flow crosswise of the island in low gaps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Flora Vectensis: Being a Systematic Description of the Phaenogamous or Flowering Plants and Ferns Indigenous to the Isle of Wight The results of these careful investigations were the. Most accurate and elaborate descriptions which can well be ima gined; but such were the time and labour bestowed on each Species, - as much as many authors would give to a genus or family, - that this circumstance very materially retarded the progress of the work. Unfortunately, also, when the Isle of Wight had been very thoroughly investigated as regards sta tions, and the work of describing was proceeding, the author enlarged his plan, and determined to comprise the whole county of Hampshire within the scope of his Flora. This certainly would greatly have added to the value of the work, had he been spared to complete it; but, such not having been permitted, it is impossible not to regret the interruption which the search for localities in this new field occasioned to the description of species. Another cause of interruption to the present work must also here be mentioned. Dr. Bromfield had an intense love of travel, and this desire ever and anon prevailed, and occasioned a suspension of the Island Flora. Extensive tours through the Islands of the fest Indies, and through Canada and the States of North America, although they contributed most valuable information to the pages of the London Journal of Botany, ' very much impeded the progress of the present work. Finally, in 1850, Dr. Bromfield started on an excursion to Egypt, Nubia and Abyssinia; after which he was tempted to prolong his tour into Palestine and Syria, where, alas! He was cut off by fever at Damascus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Systematics Evolution and Biogeography of Compositae written by Vicki Ann Funk and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 1008 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This spectacular book does full justice to the Compositae (Asteraceae), the largest and most successful flowering plant family with some 1700 genera and 24,000 species. It is an indispensable reference, providing the most up-to-date hypotheses of phylogenetic relationships in the family based on molecular and morphological characters, along with the corresponding subfamilial and tribal classification. The 2009 work not only integrates the extensive molecular phylogenetic analyses conducted in the last 25 years, but also uses these to produce a metatree for about 900 taxa of Compositae. The book contains 44 chapters, contributed by 80 authors, covering the history, economic importance, character variation, and systematic and phylogenetic diversity of the family. The emphasis of this work is phylogenetic; its chapters provide a detailed, current, and thoroughly documented presentation of the major (and not so major) clades in the family, citing some 2632 references. Like the Compositae, the book is massive, diverse, and fascinating. It is beautifully illustrated, with 170 figures, and an additional 108 cladograms (all consistently color-coded, based on the geographic range of the included taxa); within these figures are displayed 443 color photographs, clearly demonstrating the amazing array of floral and vegetative form expressed by members of the clade." --NHBS Environment Bookstore.
Download or read book Essay on the Geography of Plants written by Alexander von Humboldt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legacy of Alexander von Humboldt (1769–1859) looms large over the natural sciences. His 1799–1804 research expedition to Central and South America with botanist Aimé Bonpland set the course for the great scientific surveys of the nineteenth century, and inspired such essayists and artists as Emerson, Goethe, Thoreau, Poe, and Church. The chronicles of the expedition were published in Paris after Humboldt’s return, and first among them was the 1807 “Essay on the Geography of Plants.” Among the most cited writings in natural history, after the works of Darwin and Wallace, this work appears here for the first time in a complete English-language translation. Covering far more than its title implies, it represents the first articulation of an integrative “science of the earth, ” encompassing most of today’s environmental sciences. Ecologist Stephen T. Jackson introduces the treatise and explains its enduring significance two centuries after its publication.
