Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its first publication in 1991, New Flora of the British Isles has become established as the standard work on the identification of the wild vascular plants of the British Isles. The Flora remains unique in many features, including its full coverage of all British wild plants, its user-friendly organisation, and its specially compiled keys and descriptions. This new edition includes the addition of more than 160 species, so that 4,800 taxa are now covered in varying degrees of detail. It also incorporates the new molecular system of classification based on DNA sequences. Furthermore, it includes 1600 species illustrations, rewritten distributions and an overhaul of the designation of degrees of rarity, with the introduction of a third, less rare, category. These revisions should ensure that this third edition remains the essential reference source for all taxonomists, ecologists, conservationists, plant hunters and biogeographers, whether they be researchers, teachers, students or amateurs.

This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nineteenth-century British periodicals for girls and women offer a wealth of material to understand how girls and women fit into their social and cultural worlds, of which music making was an important part. The Girl's Own Paper, first published in 1880, stands out because of its rich musical content. Keeping practical usefulness as a research tool and as a guide to further reading in mind, Judith Barger has catalogued the musical content found in the weekly and later monthly issues during the magazine's first thirty years, in music scores, instalments of serialized fiction about musicians, music-related nonfiction, poetry with a musical title or theme, illustrations depicting music making and replies to musical correspondents. The book's introductory chapter reveals how content in The Girl's Own Paper changed over time to reflect a shift in women's music making from a female accomplishment to an increasingly professional role within the discipline, using 'the piano girl' as a case study. A comparison with musical content found in The Boy's Own Paper over the same time span offers additional insight into musical content chosen for the girls' magazine. A user's guide precedes the chronological annotated catalogue; the indexes that follow reveal the magazine's diversity of approach to the subject of music.

Book excerpt: Villainsac is a small market village situated in Southwest France which was constructed during the 13th century by Count Alphonse de Poitiers. The Count begets an illegitimate son called Charles who was tyrannical and mentally unstable. The Count therefore built a Chateau where he had Charles incarcerated until he died on 13th January 1289 or according to folk tale, suddenly disappeared. The Chateau lay empty until it was occupied again in 1858 by John Henry Forbes, a wealthy London banker, and who on the night of 5th May 1868 also disappeared. In 2006 the Chateau was purchased by John Mortimer, also a wealthy banker. However, after signing the first contract for the purchase of the Chateau, the Maire discovers a document which proves to be a Decree signed by Count Alphonse enforcing the owner of the Chateau to pay a pension to the local residents, free of tax. John Mortimer is a wealthy man but finding the money to fund the pensioners seems impossible. John returns to London and late one afternoon in the City, John stumbles upon a pub which he had never noticed in the past called the “Alphonse.” On entering the pub John finds that he has gone back in time to 1868 and is addressed by the landlord as Mr. Forbes. He purchases a pint of beer, sits down at a table, and passes out. He is awoken back in his own time by a young man, whom in time; John will find familiar. Realising that he has been taken for John Forbes, he contrives to make a Will with himself the main beneficiary. Strange events start to occur, and it is presumed that the spirit of a person who died by means other than of natural causes was imprisoned in the tunnel. Meanwhile, the ancient Decree becomes public knowledge, and a great deal of interest is shown by the village folk. Cleverly, this is quelled less the Tax Officials should find out about it. However, there are three ladies in the village who have nothing much more to do than snoop on other people’s business and are hell bent in finding the truth about the pension payments; as a result, all three meet their untimely deaths. They do in their plight managed to attract the attention of the Tax Office which generates the interest of Mme. Baldazzini (Tax Officer). In order to find the truth, she finally gate crashes a Hallowe'en Party given by John Mortimer at the Chateau thus manages to gain access to his study and filing cabinets. In doing so, she becomes possessed and disappears. This generates further interest by the police, the news media, and the Tax Office. Further super natural disturbances occur at the Chateau which culminate in a surreal sexual experience being encountered between John and Mathieu Laffite (John’s Valet). John makes a trip to the Cayman Islands where his funds are held. He meets Charles Snoopchut Sfenalono who has a seat next to him on the aircraft and is staying at the same hotel on the island; John soon realises that Charles has very strange powers. Mathieu is asked to travel to the island, when he arrives, Charles has mysteriously disappeared. John goes to the bank where the Manager tells him that a further letter of wishes by Mr Forbes had been found and written at the same time as the Will, this letter gives further instructions that the monies are to be transferred to a Mr Charles Snoopchut Sfenalono. The night after John and Mathieu return to the Chateau, Mathieu is unable to sleep and in his disturbed state decides to take his bedding downstairs to sleep outside John’s room in the corridor. The following morning Mathieu discovers that John is missing he alerts the rest of the occupants in the Chateau and a search commences. Mathieu is arrested on the basis that he is the main suspect resulting in the disappearance of John.

Download or read book Elixers Of Life written by Hilda Leyel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-28 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2008. The desire to prolong life and improve its quality is as old as life itself, and many non-western cultures - particularly Native Americans and the peoples of Asia and India - have never lost their knowledge of and belief in the efficacy of herbs in achieving this aim. Many herbs are believed to rejuvenate the body and repair tissue waste; others are thought to provide essential nutritive supplements, to have aphrodisiac properties or to have a tonic effect which aids digestion. In this definitive volume, long out of print, Hilda Leyel explores the global history and use of one hundred and seventy one revitalizing herbs and vegetables - from Agar-Agar to Yellow Wort, grouped into three categories: nutritious herbs, bitter herbs and tonic herbs. Botanical name, common name, names given to the plant in different cultures and times, natural habitat, part used, method of use, symbolism, specific action of the plant, lore and history are all given. The unique feature of the work is the inclusion of oriental herb lore, and herbal wisdom from ancient sources, including Rome and Egypt. Food and medicine being identical in herbal wisdom, the recommendations for making herbal infusions are given, along with some simple recipes. Full of scholarly detail yet written for the layman, this work is both practical and inspirational, the best of its kind ever written, and includes thirteen specialist indexes. It should be read as a companion volume to The Craft of the Herbalist by E. A. Wallis Budge, to whom it is dedicated.
