Download or read book The Life of a Leaf written by Steven Vogel and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its essence, science is a way of looking at and thinking about the world. In The Life of a Leaf, Steven Vogel illuminates this approach, using the humble leaf as a model. Whether plant or person, every organism must contend with its immediate physical environment, a world that both limits what organisms can do and offers innumerable opportunities for evolving fascinating ways of challenging those limits. Here, Vogel explains these interactions, examining through the example of the leaf the extraordinary designs that enable life to adapt to its physical world. In Vogel’s account, the leaf serves as a biological everyman, an ordinary and ubiquitous living thing that nonetheless speaks volumes about our environment as well as its own. Thus in exploring the leaf’s world, Vogel simultaneously explores our own.

Download or read book The Book of Leaves written by Allen J. Coombes and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-12-10 with total page 2007 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all our childhood memories, few are quite as thrilling, or as tactile, as those of climbing trees. Scampering up the rough trunk, spying on the world from the cool green shelter of the canopy, lying on a limb and looking up through the leaves at the summer sun almost made it seem as if we were made for trees, and trees for us.Even in adulthood, trees retain their power, from the refreshing way their waves of green break the monotony of a cityscape to the way their autumn transformations take our breath away. In this lavishly illustrated volume, the trees that have enriched our lives finally get their full due, through a focus on the humble leaves that serve, in a sense, as their public face. The Book of Leaves offers a visually stunning and scientifically engaging guide to six hundred of the most impressive and beautiful leaves from around the world. Each leaf is reproduced here at its actual size, in full color, and is accompanied by an explanation of the range, distribution, abundance, and habitat of the tree on which it’s found. Brief scientific and historical accounts of each tree and related species include fun-filled facts and anecdotes that broaden its portrait. The Henry’s Maple, for instance, found in China and named for an Irish doctor who collected leaves there, bears little initial resemblance to the statuesque maples of North America, from its diminutive stature to its unusual trifoliolate leaves. Or the Mediterranean Olive, which has been known to live for more than 1,500 years and whose short, narrow leaves only fall after two or three years, pushed out in stages by the emergence of younger leaves. From the familiar friends of our backyards to the giants of deep woods, The Book of Leaves brings the forest to life—and to our living rooms—as never before.

This is a one of a kind book on Metaphysics explaining the paranormal as well as life problems with a scientific approach. The star-wars aren't all lies, and a handful of us do end up interacting with star people, especially at times of war. Earth is governed by star people and they do affect our lives in invisible ways that result in visible changes in our bodies and in the climate, the roots of which, we haven't yet correlated to the goodness and the havoc brought down from the stars. The author draws our attention to some of the burning problems affecting us, along with some suggested remedies to minimize negativity and bring positivity into our lives and on this planet.

Download or read book Stars Light Stem Leaf written by Abol Hassan Danesh and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-06 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In close parallel with the fifth volume of stars lights theme and content, Stem and Leaf Volume, is an attempt to put the entire six volumes of stars light poetry in perspective. Perhaps a comet would be a better metaphor to capture the spirit of this volume of work in terms of its connectivity potential to the continuous & long tail blazing of light from the point of its origin to that of destination. That is, a clear demarcation of territory travelled through stars light journey. In simple words, another way of looking at the milky way in heaven, is to see it as a large star comet itself in standstill with all trail light path way travelled made visible in close up. And for further elucidation of this volume may I then suggest that the stem of a leaf is itself the trunk of tree par excellence, making sure the leaf never leaves the tree despite all the falling, break away, and separation in each year and in each and every other season.
