Book excerpt: Excerpt from Botanical Survey of Nebraska, Parts 1-4, 1892 In addition to the reports, catalogues of local floras and mono graphs of particular groups, principally of the lower plants, will be published. Several such monographs are now in preparation, and more are contemplated. These will make possible a more thorough acquaintance with the plant life of the state by the pub lic generally, and, it is hoped, enable the public schools of the state to do much which at present they cannot do for 'lack of the numerous and expensive books which such work requires. But the Seminar will aim to make the work of the Survey scientific rather than popular. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Phytogeography of Nebraska: General Survey This work is the result of nearly five years of active study of the floral covering of Nebraska, carried on by the members of the Botanical Seminar in the Botanical Survey of the State. The study of the vegetation of Nebraska, begun when Dr. Bessey came to the University, in 1884, was carried on, chiefly from the floristic side, by members of the Seminar from 1886 to 1892, with zeal and effect. During that time Messrs. Smith, Webber, Williams, and Woods, together with one of the authors of the present work, devoted a large portion of their botanical energies to the determination of the flora of the State and of the distributional boundaries of species. When the Botanical Survey was organized in 1892, both of the authors became members, and from that time, assisted at times by Mr. Smith, Mr. Woods, Mr. Rydberg, Mr. Saunders, Mr. Shear, Mr. Bell, and Mr. Ernst Bessey, they have directed the work of the Survey with a view to the ultimate publication of a report, or a series of reports, in which the floral covering of the State should be treated from the phytogeographical standpoint, and a series of monographs dealing with it from a floristic standpoint. A beginning has been made in the latter direction by the publication of three parts of the Flora of Nebraska. The time seems ripe for putting forth the first installment in the former series. A great deal remains to be done in many directions, such as phenological observations in regions III and IV, for example, that will render a complete phytogeography of Nebraska impossible for many years to come. But the work of the Survey has progressed far enough to enable us to present the general portion of such a phytogeography in an adequate manner, and to deal with detain in many of the more important subjects.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Botanical Survey of Nebraska: Conducted by the Botanical Seminar of the University The object of this, the first publication of the Botanical Survey of Nebraska, is introductory only. It is intended to serve as a preface and introduction to the future publications of the Survey. Although the general plan of the Survey was agreed upon in June of this year, and no little collecting done in accordance with it in July and August, the Survey was not formally organized till August 24. At that time the organization set forth on the preceding page was effected. As there indicated, the Survey will be entirely under the control of the Seminar. The Seminar selects the members and assigns the work, and its members will bear the entire expense of the Survey. But in the conduct of it they will be advised and assisted by the gentlemen who have kindly consented to act as the advisory committee, and in botanical and scientific matters they will rely largely on the advice and assistance of Dr. Bessey. In entering upon the Survey, the Seminar is fully aware of the difficulties which must necessarily beset such an undertaking when conducted by private means and enterprise. But if there are difficulties attending the conduct of the Survey by private enterprise, there are also undoubted advantages. The members need never fear to do purely scientific work, they need not spend their time in strengthening their official rather than their scientific position, and they need not be distracted from more important matters by the burden of continually demonstrating to doubting Thomases the practical nature of their undertaking. No apology for the undertaking of such a survey is needed. The changes which are taking place in the flora of the state have already been noted by Mr. Webber in the preface to his catalogue. The rapid settlement of the western portions of the state is undoubtedly accelerating these changes, and requires that those regions be examined at once, while the native flora is intact.

Download or read book Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scores of talented and dedicated people serve the forensic science community, performing vitally important work. However, they are often constrained by lack of adequate resources, sound policies, and national support. It is clear that change and advancements, both systematic and scientific, are needed in a number of forensic science disciplines to ensure the reliability of work, establish enforceable standards, and promote best practices with consistent application. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States: A Path Forward provides a detailed plan for addressing these needs and suggests the creation of a new government entity, the National Institute of Forensic Science, to establish and enforce standards within the forensic science community. The benefits of improving and regulating the forensic science disciplines are clear: assisting law enforcement officials, enhancing homeland security, and reducing the risk of wrongful conviction and exoneration. Strengthening Forensic Science in the United States gives a full account of what is needed to advance the forensic science disciplines, including upgrading of systems and organizational structures, better training, widespread adoption of uniform and enforceable best practices, and mandatory certification and accreditation programs. While this book provides an essential call-to-action for congress and policy makers, it also serves as a vital tool for law enforcement agencies, criminal prosecutors and attorneys, and forensic science educators.

Download or read book O Pioneers written by Willa Cather and published by Modernista. This book was released on 2024-07-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the young Swedish-descended Alexandra Bergson inherits her father's farm in Nebraska, she must transform the land from a wind-swept prairie landscape into a thriving enterprise. She dedicates herself completely to the land—at the cost of great sacrifices. O Pioneers! [1913] is Willa Cather's great masterpiece about American pioneers, where the land is as important a character as the people who cultivate it. WILLA CATHER [1873-1947] was an American author. After studying at the University of Nebraska, she worked as a teacher and journalist. Cather's novels often focus on settlers in the USA with a particular emphasis on female pioneers. In 1923, she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for the novel One of Ours, and in 1943, she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Download or read book A Lost Lady written by Willa Cather and published by E-Kitap Projesi & Cheapest Books. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Lost Lady is a novel by American author Willa Cather, first published in 1923. It centers on Marian Forrester, her husband Captain Daniel Forrester, and their lives in the small western town of Sweet Water, along the Transcontinental Railroad. However, it is mostly told from the perspective of a young man named Niel Herbert, as he observes the decline of both Marian and the West itself, as it shifts from a place of pioneering spirit to one of corporate exploitation. Exploring themes of social class, money, and the march of progress, A Lost Lady was praised for its vivid use of symbolism and setting, and is considered to be a major influence on the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald. It has been adapted to film twice, with a film adaptation being released in 1924, followed by a looser adaptation in 1934, starring Barbara Stanwyck. A Lost Lady begins in the small railroad town of Sweet Water, on the undeveloped Western plains. The most prominent family in the town is the Forresters, and Marian Forrester is known for her hospitality and kindness. The railroad executives frequently stop by her house and enjoy the food and comfort she offers while there on business. A young boy, Niel Herbert, frequently plays on the Forrester estate with his friend. One day, an older boy named Ivy Peters arrives, and shoots a woodpecker out of a tree. He then blinds the bird and laughs as it flies around helplessly. Niel pities the bird and tries to climb the tree to put it out of its misery, but while climbing he slips, and breaks his arm in the fall, as well as knocking himself unconscious. Ivy takes him to the Forrester house where Marian looks after him. When Niel wakes up, he's amazed by the nice house and how sweet Marian smells. He doesn't't see her much after that, but several years later he and his uncle, Judge Pommeroy, are invited to the Forrester house for dinner. There he meets Ellinger, who he will later learn is Mrs. Forrester's lover, and Constance, a young girl his age.

Book excerpt: In the late 19th century, orphaned Jim Burden is sent to the wilderness in Nebraska to live with his grandparents. He arrives at the same time as the Shimerda family, including the eldest daughter Ántonia, who becomes his closest neighbors. Life in the American West is tough, especially for the impoverished Shimerda family, and pioneers must struggle for survival. A friendship blossoms between Jim and Ántonia as they explore nature and have adventures together, a friendship that will last a lifetime. My Ántonia became an immediate success when first published and is today considered Willa Cather's first masterpiece. It is praised for its depiction of the American West and its ability to highlight the aspirations of ordinary, poor people in a time when it was customary to write about the elite.
