Book excerpt: Praise for The Green Planet (BBC One) 'David Attenborough's gobsmacking, awe-inspiring return' The Guardian 'The Green Planet reveals the secret lives of plants in the same way The Blue Planet opened our eyes to the oceans' New Scientist There's something new under the sun Plants live secret, unseen lives - hidden in their magical world and on their timescale. From the richest jungles to the harshest deserts, from the snowiest alpine forest to the remotest steaming swamp, Green Planet travels from one great habitat to the next, showing us that plants are as aggressive, competitive and dramatic as the animals on our planet. You will discover agents of death, who ruthlessly engulf their host plant, but also those that form deep and complex relationships with other species, such as the desert cacti who use nectar-loving bats to pollinate. Although plants are undoubtedly the stars of the show, a fascinating new light will be shed on the animals that interact with them. Using the latest technologies and showcasing over two decades of new discoveries, Green Planet reveals the strange and wonderful life of plants like never before - a life full of remarkable behaviour, emotional stories and surprising heroes.

Download or read book Guide to growing Cacti and Succulents written by and published by jideon francisco marques. This book was released on 2023-11-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young boy I remember going to the local garden centre with my mother and seeing the strange succulents growing in small pots at the till. It was there that I received my first tiny succulent plant. It was not long before I inevitably managed to overwater it through too much love. Upset by the loss, we made another trip to the garden centre to find a replacement. Eventually, I started to work out what succulents needed, and my plant began to flourish. Needless to say, one plant became two and before I knew it I had caught the bug and had a bit of ‘succulent fever’. Succulent plants have a wonderful diversity. Succulence can be found in about sixty different plant families and across over 650 genera within those families, but the majority of succulent plants are found within four families: Aizoaceae, Cactaceae, Crassulaceae, Euphorbiaceae. They have an amazing ability to fascinate people – maybe because they are such oddities, being unlike other plants. I suppose you could say they are a little alien. This is true in some way when you consider the arid environments where they grow: they are from another world or at least not one most people are familiar with. They defiantly capture the imagination with their unique forms, colours, textures and ability to adapt and survive the harsh environments they live in. Add all these factors together in a small, decorative terracotta pot and you have the perfect pot plant – interesting, decorative and thriving (for the most part) on neglect. It’s not hard to see how these plants capture our imagination and, for some of us, they become an absorbing hobby.

Download or read book Arguing for Evolution written by Sehoya H. Cotner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-08-15 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely encyclopedia presents an arsenal of evidence for evolution that goes beyond the typical textbook examples. Arguing for Evolution: An Encyclopedia for Understanding Science provides readers with a single source for the scientific evidence supporting evolution. The book shows how scientists have tested the predictions of evolutionary theory and created an unshakeable foundation of evidence supporting its truth. As such, it demonstrates how evolution serves as a case study for understanding the scientific method and presents a logical model for scientific inquiry. The evidence for evolution is presented historically and topically in an accessible, example-rich, and logical format, using an arsenal of examples that goes beyond the typical textbook matter. The chapters are structured around a series of hypotheses that the authors put to the test, amassing evidence on fossils, comparative anatomy, molecules, and evolutionary biology in order to conclude that evolution is scientific fact. Learning about this fascinating field is enhanced through "see for yourself" examples that include original data and figures from key historical and contemporary papers in evolutionary biology.
