Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Plants, Vol. 1: Their Forms, Growth, Reproduction and Distribution; From the German of the Late Anton Kerner Von Marilaun; Biology and Configuration of Plants Not long ago two artisans, who had borrowed a copy of The Natural History of Plants from one of the Vienna public libraries and had studied its pages, called upon me, asking me to show them under the microscope some of the things there described. It seems that without any special educational advantages they had availed themselves of leisure moments to extend their knowledge, and had read the work with profit. On leaving, they thanked me in simple words for the pleasure, instruction, and stimulus which they had derived from the perusal of my book. I confess that these words gave me vastly more pleasure than many of the verbose and flattering reviews that had appeared in newspapers and scientific journals, many of which conveyed the impression of being the result of hasty skimming of copies sent by the publishers. The satisfaction which the little incident gave me was the greater, in that it was an assurance that I had achieved what had been my intention, namely, to write a book which might serve as a source of knowledge, not only for specialists and scholars, but also for the many who, though compelled to follow some practical calling, still take an interest in science, and who wish, each in his own particular degree, to obtain information of its progress. Popular treatises on the results of scientific investigation are by no means rare with us Germans; but in too many cases scientific problems involving serious thought are touched superficially, and, like the stone in a sweet fruit, are embedded in picturesque and attractive accounts of things purely of subordinate importance. The reader, gratified by the elegant phraseology, passes by the kernel of fact, and derives little profit from the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life Movements in Plants With reference to the effect of ether waves on plants, I have given an account of my discovery of the response of all plants to wireless stimulation, the results being similar to that induced by visible light. The perceptive range of the plant is thus infinitely greater than ours for it not only perceives, but also responds to different rays of the vast ethereal spectrum.

Where they are no longer quite suitable they will be briefly elucidated; and, when the conceptions to which they refer have been expanded or limited, the Old established names will also be taken in a wider or a narrower sense as the case may be. New expressions will only be introduced where their use is productive of greater clearness and distinctness in the ideas involved; and even these additions must be in harmony with the terms already in existence.

Download or read book Nature and Development of Plants Classic Reprint written by Carlton C. Curtis and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature and Development of Plants In the present volume an attempt has been made to present the more important aspects of botanical science, not only as they are related to pure biological science, but also as they are connected and associated with our daily life and interests. The general reader will find here a discussion of the laws and principles that control and direct plant life and of the importance of this life. The author also has had in mind the difficulties that the student experiences in entering a new field. To make the subject more approachable, many of the technical terms have been eliminated and an easily comprehended terminology has been maintained throughout the book. The text is designed especially for the benefit of the student who is beginning the subject. We trust that a study of it will bring him to the class room prepared for a discussion of the topics and we also trust that this work of preparation will tax him to the full measure of his intellectual capacity. The author is old fashioned in his ideas of education. Work that simply entertains or imparts information and that does not create the sufferings associated with mental effort can be of little permanent value or make for any considerable development. Finally the book will fall short of its real purpose unless used in the laboratory in connection with the plants themselves. Detailed directions are not given for the laboratory work - these of necessity must vary with the instructor and with the locality - but the text gives the student sufficient guidance and understanding to enable him to find out for himself the principles and facts in the material to which he has been directed.

Naturkunde in Würtemberg, ' 1874, p. 211) on the curious movements of Spirogyra, a plant consisting of a single row of cells, are valuable in relation to this subject.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Light and Darkness Upon Growth and Development The results described in the following pages were obtained by a series Of experimental observations begun in 1895 and continued until the close of the year 1902. Originally designed to analyze the phenomena of etiolation, the work has naturally led to a consider ation Of the more general relations of the plant to light, and it is believed that some important additions to the knowledge Of the sub ject have been made. The chief results of value have been obtained by long continued confinement Of the etiolating plants in dark cham bers from which light was entirely excluded.

This book was released on 2018-02-22 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Movements and Habits of Climbing Plants Clematis. - 0. Glandulosa. - The thin upper internodes revolve, moving against the course of the sun, precisely like those of a true twiner, at an average rate, judging from three revolutions, of 3 h. 48 m. The leading shoot immediately twined round a stick placed near it; but, after making an Open spire of only one turn and a half, it ascended for a short space straight, and then reversed its spire and wound two turns in an Opposite course. This was rendered possible by the straight piece between the opposed spires having become rigid. The simple, broad, ovate leaves of this tropical species, so unlike those of most of the other species of the genus, with their short thick petioles, seem but ill fitted for any movement. Whilst twining up a vertical stick, no use is made of them. Nevertheless, if the footstalk of a young leaf be rubbed with a thin twig a few times on any side, it will in the course of a few hours bend to that side; afterwards it becomes straight again. The under side seemed to be the most sensitive; but the sensitiveness or irritability is but slight com pared to that which we shall meet Fig. 1. With in some of the following spe cies; for a loop of string, weighing 164 grain, hanging for some days on a young footstalk, produced a scarcely perceptible effect. A sketch is here given of two young leaves which had naturally caught two twigs on each side of the stem.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons in the Structure, Life, and Growth of Plants: For Schools and Academies Dr. Woon's Lessons in the Structure and Growth of Plants was designed for an introduction to this delightful department of Natural History, and to qualify the student in Botany to make intelligent use of a Flora. The book is well known to educators, and the instructors in our high-schools and colleges have acknowledged its worth and conferred upon it the highest degree of approval by using it as a text-book. It was written more than twenty years ago; since then im proved methods of examination, with the aid of new microscopical appliances, have revealed much in all departments of biology, and especially in the structure and formation of plant - tissues. These discoveries have introduced in some parts new and in others additional names. To bring the work to the advanced state of the science, the chapters on Organography have been revised, and the parts on Histology and Physiology have been entirely rewritten and newly illustrated, and the whole reset in fresh and modern type.
