Book excerpt: RHS Staff Pick of the Year 2021 Spectator Gardening Book of the year 2021 'A refreshingly insightful history of plant introductions.' - Roy Lancaster Travel the world with extraordinary tales of the botanical discoveries that have shaped empires, built (and destroyed) economies, revolutionised medicine and advanced our understanding of science. Circling the globe from Australia's Botany Bay to the Tibetan plateau, from the deserts of Southern Africa to the jungles of Brazil, this book presents an incredible cast of characters - dedicated researchers and reckless adventurers, physicians, lovers and thieves. Meet dauntless Scots explorer David Douglas and visionary Prussian thinker Alexander von Humboldt, the 'Green Samurai' Mikinori Ogisu and the intrepid 17th century entomologist Maria Sibylla Merian - the first woman known to have made a living from science. Beautifully illustrated with over 100 botanical artworks from the archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, this absorbing book tells the stories of how plants have travelled across the world - from the missions of the Pharaohs right up to 21st century seed-banks and the many new and endangered species being named every year. *** THE ROYAL BOTANIC GARDENS, KEW is a world-famous research organisation and a major international visitor attraction. It harnesses the power of its science, the rich diversity of its gardens and collections to unearth why plants and fungi matter to everyone. Its aspiration is to end the extinction crisis and help create a world where nature and biodiversity are protected, valued and managed sustainably.
Download or read book 1638 The Sovereign States written by Eric Flint and published by Baen Books. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fate of Russia hangs in the balance as up-timers and down-timers battle for freedom! The United Sovereign States of Russia struggles to set in place the traditions and legal precedents that will let it turn into a constitutional monarchy with freedom and opportunity for all its citizens. At the same time, they’re trying to balance the power of the states and the federal government. And the USSR is fighting a civil war with Muscovite Russia, defending the new state of Kazakh from invasion by the Zunghars, building a tech base and an economy that will allow its money to be accepted in western Europe, establishing a more solid claim to Siberia, and, in general, keeping the wheels of civilization from coming off and dumping Russia back into the Time of Troubles. Or, possibly even worse, reinstalling the sort of repressive oligarchy that they just got rid of. At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management). Praise for 1637: The Coast of Chaos: “. . . skilled authors seamlessly weave together historical and fictional characters, making it an easy read for fans old and new to the series.” —Booklist Praise for 1637: No Peace Beyond the Line: “The action is non-stop. The authors skillfully blend battle, intrigue, politics, and everyday life in a remade seventeenth century to yield an exciting story. Both those familiar with the series (and this sequel’s predecessor) and those reading No Peace Beyond the Line as a first exposure to an addictive series will find it satisfying reading.” —Ricochet.com Praise for 1635: A Parcel of Rogues: “The 20th volume in this popular, fast-paced alternative history series follows close on the heels of the events in The Baltic War, picking up with the protagonists in London, including sharpshooter Julie Sims. This time the 20th-century transplants are determined to prevent the rise of Oliver Cromwell and even have the support of King Charles.” —Library Journal Praise for 1634: The Galileo Affair: “A rich, complex alternate history with great characters and vivid action. A great read and an excellent book.” —David Drake “Gripping . . . depicted with power!” —Publishers Weekly Praise for Eric Flint’s Ring of Fire series: “This alternate history series is . . . a landmark.” —Booklist “[Eric] Flint’s 1632 universe seems to be inspiring a whole new crop of gifted alternate historians.” —Booklist “. . . reads like a techno-thriller set in the age of the Medicis . . .” —Publishers Weekly
