Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pine Branches and Sea Weeds This little volume hardly needs a. Preface; its purpose is merely that of presenting, in a collective form, the several descriptive pieces it contains, which are reprinted from the various publications in which they first appeared. They are, with one exception (the final piece), reminiscential of days passed by the writer among the mountains and upon the sea-shore. If they shall prove of inter est outside the circle of readers who have already given them their commendations, the object for having them republished in the present form will have been accomplished. Perhaps the Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove have become rather threadbare themes, but are they more so than many other places of celebrity which receive, peren nially, tributes of praise in verse and prose? The piece called Artist vs. Poet, was a caprice. As will be seen it evinces a bias in favor of the artist, but this the reader may kindly overlook, being, as it is, the outgrowth of a kind of pique, or resent ment, felt by the writer, in common with many others, at the apparent neglect and fate of much that is, or was, most beautiful in Art. The piece is inserted in the volume as being not altogether out of harmony with its other parts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Seaweeds of the World written by John Bothwell and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lavishly illustrated guide to the seaweed families of the world Seaweeds are astoundingly diverse. They're found along the shallows of beaches and have been recorded living at depths of more than 800 feet; they can be microscopic or grow into giants many meters long. They’re incredibly efficient at using the materials found in the ocean and are increasingly used in the human world, in applications from food to fuel. They’re beautiful, too, with their undulating shapes anchored to the sea floor or drifting on the surface. Seaweeds aren’t plants: they’re algae, part of a huge and largely unfamiliar group of aquatic organisms. Seaweeds of the World makes sense of their complicated world, differentiating between the three main groups—red, green, and brown—and delving into their complex reproductive systems. The result is an unprecedented, accessible, and in-depth look at a previously hidden ocean world. Features close to 250 beautiful color photos as well as diagrams and distribution maps Covers every major family and genus

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Cultivated Plants 3 volumes written by Christopher Cumo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 1307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers of this expansive, three-volume encyclopedia will gain scientific, sociological, and demographic insight into the complex relationship between plants and humans across history. Comprising three volumes and approximately half a million words, this work is likely the most comprehensive reference of its kind, providing detailed information not only about specific plants and food crops such as barley, corn, potato, rice, and wheat, but also interdisciplinary content that draws on the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. The entries underscore the fascination that humans have long held for plants, identifies the myriad reasons why much of life on earth would be impossible without plants, and points out the intertwined relationship of plants and humans—and how delicate this balance can be. While the majority of the content is dedicated to the food plants that are essential to human existence, material on ornamentals, fiber crops, pharmacological plants, and carnivorous plants is also included.

Download or read book Handbook to the new Gold fields written by R. M. Ballantyne and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1858 ‘Handbook to the New Gold-Fields’ is a fascinating guide by prolific author R.M. Ballantyne to the land of California following the initial gold rush there. In it he describes the new gold-fields, the wildlife, and the people of the area – both the American Indians and the workers who had come to seek their fortune from afar. With beautiful and evocative descriptions throughout, this is a fascinating glimpse of California following perhaps one of the most altering periods of its history. R.M. Ballantyne (1825-1894) was a Scottish artist and prolific author of mostly children’s fiction. Born in Edinburgh, Ballantyne was the ninth of ten children. At the age of 16 Ballantyne moved to Canada, where he worked for the Hudson’s Bay Company, travelling all over the country to trade for fur. He returned to Scotland in 1847 following the death of his father, and it was then that he began his literary career in earnest, writing over 100 children’s adventure books over the course of his life. Stories such as ‘The Coral Island’ and ‘The Young Fur Traders’ were hugely popular, and many of them drew on his own experiences of travelling throughout Canada. A stickler for detail, Ballantyne continued to travel widely to research the backgrounds and settings for his exciting stories. His tales became an inspiration for authors of the future, including ‘Treasure Island’ novelist Robert Louis Stevenson. Ballantyne spent the latter period of his life living in London and Italy for the sake of his health. He died in Rome in 1894 at the age of 68.
