Download or read book Flowers of the Table Rocks written by Susan K. MacKinnon and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Flowers of the Table Rocks" is a non-technical, comprehensive photographic guide to the flowers of this well-known geologic formation and popular hiking spot in Southwestern Oregon. Although it covers a limited geographic area, the book is likely to appeal to a wider audience because of its many color photographs. These photos include close-ups of microscopic flower parts virtually never seen in field guides. Because of the limited geographic area involved, it is possible for the amateur wildflower enthusiast, with the help of the simplified key, photos, and tables, to identify the more than 300 flowering plant species representing more than 50 plant families found on the Table Rocks. Grasses, rushes and sedges have not been included.Unlike most flower guides, the book is organized by plant family rather than flower color. Plant identification becomes a more rational undertaking when one becomes aware of the similarities between species of a given family. Knowledge of family characteristics also facilitates identification of flowers in areas beyond the Table Rocks. In addition, the book attempts to show how even the most complex flower conforms to the basic floral pattern of sepals, petals, stamens and pistil(s). To make scientific names less intimidating, the derivation or meaning of each species¿ scientific name is listed in table format. Plant status (endangered, threatened, noxious weed, etc), three tables, and a glossary are included.

Download or read book Beauty and the Beast written by Peter Raven and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beauty and the Beast: California Wildflowers and Climate Change" is a 12 x 12'' beautifully illustrated and designed 264 page coffee table book created by conservation photographers Rob Badger and Nita Winter.Illustrations: 190 stunning images of California's diverse wildflowers and their habitats, from high mountain passes in the Sierra Nevada mountains to below sea level in Death Valley National Park.Essays: Sixteen talented and diverse authors and scientists, most of whom are women, wrote 18 storytelling style essays (1,200 to 1,800 words) about nature, conservation, climate change or taking action. The two younger authors write about hope and action, and what people can do to help create positive change. The book has three sections: The Gift of Beauty, The Human Connection and Ensuring the Future.Because people are constantly hearing about all the negative things going on in the world, Nita and Rob believed there was a need for a different, softer approach to grab people's attention and center it on the climate-change story, and conservation and population issues. They engage their audiences by first inviting them to experience the splendor of the natural world through a universal symbol of beauty, the wildflower, and then educate and inspire them to take some of the simple actions they provide to create positive change and a healthier planet. Their goal is to spread conservation and climate change ideas far beyond native plant and nature lovers, and to plant the seeds to foster action."Beauty and the Beast" is a 27 year photographic journey into the public lands of California. Lands we all own, lands under constant threat of development or resource extraction, impacts of global warming, sea level rise and wildfires. This book is as much a treasure as the flowers and creatures which are featured within its pages. Nita and Rob extend a hand to you to come in and take a long, slow look around and see what they have seen, experienced and have learned. Book includes two comprehensive indexes and a glossary.Co-published by WinterBadger Press and the California Native Plant Society
