Download or read book The Pinetum Britannicum written by Edward Ravenscroft and published by . This book was released on 2016-03-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pinetum Britannicum: A Descriptive Account of Hardy Coniferous Trees Cultivated in Great Britainwas authored by Edward James Ravenscroft (1816-1890) in Edinburgh and London during the timeperiod of 1863 through 1884. The first edition Pinetum Brittanicum is considered to be one of the greatBritish works on pines. With Edward James Ravenscroft?s lavish illustrations,The Pinetum Brittanicumis a testament to the great 19th-century fascination with natural history, as well as the impulse toclassify and catalogue--two interests that went hand-in-hand and intensified dramatically over thecourse of the 1800s. Ravenscroft was one of the great talents to emerge in this period in the field ofnatural history illustration, often referred to as ?art in the service of science.? Ravenscroft?s masterfulillustrations blend beauty and science with apparently effortless grace.Production of Pinetum Brittanicum began in 1863 with substantial financial support. ?The Queen?sSeedsmen,? Peter Lawson & Son commissioned 100 copies, and French Emperor Napoleon III, ordered30 copies. Due to historical and financial upheavals, work on the ?Pinetum? was suspended, but resumedagain and was issued in 1884. The end result clearly justified the decades-long production, for the scopeand quality of Ravenscoft?s splendid work on pines remains unmatched. The book was printed in threevolumes with the dimensions of 22 4/8 x 18 2/8 inches. This book is a reprint of Volume One. Withinthe three volumes, there are 36? or 48? hand-colored lithographs illustrated Richard Williamson JamesBlack, R.K. Greville, and J. Wallace, and engraved by A. Murray, Robert Black, Fr.

Download or read book Tree written by David Suzuki and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Only God can make a tree,” wrote Joyce Kilmer in one of the most celebrated of poems. In Tree: A Life Story, authors David Suzuki and Wayne Grady extend that celebration in a “biography” of this extraordinary — and extraordinarily important — organism. A story that spans a millennium and includes a cast of millions but focuses on a single tree, a Douglas fir, Tree describes in poetic detail the organism’s modest origins that begin with a dramatic burst of millions of microscopic grains of pollen. The authors recount the amazing characteristics of the species, how they reproduce and how they receive from and offer nourishment to generations of other plants and animals. The tree’s pivotal role in making life possible for the creatures around it — including human beings — is lovingly explored. The richly detailed text and Robert Bateman’s original art pay tribute to this ubiquitous organism that is too often taken for granted.

Download or read book A Natural History of Conifers written by Aljos Farjon and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling account of the extraordinary relatives of ordinary garden conifers. Leading expert Aljos Farjon provides a compelling narrative that observes conifers from the standpoint of the curious naturalist. It starts with the basic question of what conifers are and continues to explore their evolution, taxonomy, ecology, distribution, human uses, and issues of conservation. As the story unfolds many popular misconceptions are dispelled, such as the false notion that all conifers have cones. The extraordinary diversity of conifers begins to dawn as Farjon describes the diminutive creeping shrub Microcachrys tetragona, whose strange seed cones resemble raspberries, and the prehistoric-looking Araucaria meulleri. The taxonomic diversity of conifers is huge and Farjon goes on to relate how, over the course of 300 million years, these trees and shrubs have adapted to survive geological upheavals, climatic extremes, and formidable competition from flowering plants. All who seek to learn more about the early history of life on our planet will cherish this book.
