Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Botany The order of treatment here adopted is first to give a general notion of the world-wide distribution and importance Of plants; then to enable the pupil to see the whole plant as a working machine; then to discuss more in detail the structure and work Of the higher plants, each region of which performs a definite part Of the work of the whole machine; then very briefly to present a general view of the great groups. Although through out the book the plants used as the basis Of study are usually those of common interest, a few of the most practical topics, such as timber and forestry, weeds, plant breeding, and the plant industries, are given separate treatment, with as much detail as is possible in a brief course. The structure, functions, and ecological relations of plants are presented throughout the book in a synthetic manner. Questions pertaining to the interpretation and application of different features Of plant life are introduced in the text and at the ends of chapters. Other similar questions raised by the teacher will be found helpful in presenting problems that the pupil should be able to solve in connection with his studies. Such problems help to develop the constant attitude Of inquiry which science attempts to establish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Botany Two hundred and ninety years have now elapsed since one of the earliest introductions to Botany upon record was published, in four pages folio, by Leonhart Fuchs, a learned physician of Tubingen. At that period Botany was nothing more than the art of' distinguishing one plant from another, and of' remembering the medical. Qualities, sometimes real, but more frequently imaginary, which experience, or error, or superstition, had ascribed to them. Little was known of Vegetable Physiology, nothing of Vege table Anatomy, and even the art of arranging species' systematically had still to be discovered; While scarcely a trace existed of those modern views which have raised the science from the mere business of the herb-gatherer to a station among the most intel lectual branches of natural philosophy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guide to the Study of Common Plants: An Introduction to Botany In the second edition, prepared in response to helpful suggestions from many teachers, a glossary and index, together with a chapter on fungi, have been added and several minor changes introduced. The arrangement re mains substantially as before, but teachers who prefer to start with the simpler forms and proceed to the more highly developed ones can readily do so by beginning with the section on algae, instead of following the order of the book. To those who approach the work in a scientific spirit, it is superfluous to say that the student's intellectual life has a developmental history which it is quite as need ful to take into account as the genetic succession of plants. There can hardly be more interesting problems than those presented to the teacher in his relation to this higher realm of biological science.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Plant World: Its Past, Present, and Future; An Introduction to the Study of Botany HE idea of this little book is to furnish an intro duction to the Study of Botany from the standpoint of considering plants as living organisms, subject to all the varied vicissitudes that are more generally recognized as influencing animal life. From this point of view, the changes in structure and function that plants have undergone from time to time become intelligible, a point of primary importance, as a preliminary to a clear comprehension of the meaning of relationship amongst the members constituting the Vegetable Kingdom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Study of Plants: An Introduction to Botany and Plant Ecology The course of work followed in this book is directed, in the main, to the establishment of the fundamental principles of Plant Physiology. Plant Morphology receives a less extended treatment; but this aspect of the subject is freely introduced in the discussion of Plant Ecology, i. E. The relation of the structure and functions of plants to their habitat. More space has been devoted to Ecology than is usual in an ele mentary text-book, but the Author believes that this aspect of plant life gives to field work a more definite aim, and broadens the outlook of the student by linking up Botany with the study of climate, geology, and topography. Similarly, to avoid the weariness of lessons dealing merely with the comparison of forms, the Author has throughout treated the forms of roots, stems, and leaves in relation to their functions and to the habitat of the plant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Botany IN writing this little introduction to the study of a plant I have endeavoured especially to present it to the reader as a living organism. Botany is now regarded as a branch of biology, and is not satisfactorily studied by gathering plants and, after ascertaining their names and the natural orders to which they belong, drying them and putting them away in a cabinet. I have tried to present them as they are engaged in the struggle for existence, and to call my readers' attention not only to their form and structure but especially to what they do in life, and why and how they do it. I hope that those who study them by the assistance of this little primer will try to have the living plant under observation while' they read it. I have not written any detailed scheme of. Laboratory work, but I hope my readers will be able to construct such a scheme for themselves as they follow the directions for study given in the text.

Plant functions - Whether plants have many organs, or few organs, or no organs, it should be remembered that they are all at work, and are all doing the same essential things. Although many different kinds of work are being carried on by plants, they may all be put under two heads, nutrition and reproduction. Every plant, whether simple or complex, must care for two things (1) its own support (nutrition), and the production of other plants like.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature and Work of Plants: An Introduction to the Study The course outlined in this little book is essen tially a study of the functions or action of the plant, and organs are considered chiefly as instru ments for the performance of work, with but little attention to their morphology. It is believed that this method of introduction to the subject of botany will be best suited for beginners who have not at hand the facilities of a laboratory. In conformity with this idea, the use of technical terms has been restricted to the actual necessities of logical treat ment, and the demonstrations have been developed by the simplest experimental methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Structural Botany, Vol. 1: Flowering Plants This book is intended as a first guide to the study of the structure of plants. Botany is now taught in schools of all kinds, and wherever Botany is taught it has become customary to expect some knowledge of the construction of plants, and of the function of their organs. All that I have airned at in this book is to secure that such knowledge, when first acquired, shall be correct as far as it goes. My purpose has been to write an Introduction to Structural Botany, not a manual of Botany in general. It is absolutely necessary that schoolboys and girls, if they are to learn this science at all, should also gain a knowledge of plants in the field. For this part of the work a guide is necessary, and some such book as Professor Oliver's Lessons in Elementary Botany is indispensable.
