Flora Fyrdraaca wants nothing more than to be a ranger, and for that she must master the magickal—and dangerous—language of Gramatica. But before she can find the ideal teacher, her aspirations are put to the test. Would a true ranger be intimidated by a tentacle that reaches for her from the depths of a toilet? Be daunted by her best friend’s transformation into a notorious outlaw, thanks to a pair of sparkly stolen boots? Be cowed by the revelation that only she can rescue the city of Califa from the violent earthquakes that threaten its survival? Never. Saving her city and her best friend are the least a Girl of Spirit can do—yet what Flora doesn’t expect are the life-altering revelations she learns about her family and herself.

Book excerpt: The beautiful kingdom of Bohemia is ruled by a cruel and heartless King Lothar. The story begins when Flora, the Fairy Queen of the forest, sends him a magic fish. The magic will enable him to understand the language of animals thus making him the most powerful ruler in the world. It comes with one condition though. Only Tristan, his stable boy, must cook and serve it to him. Against the king's orders, Tristan tastes the fish and immediately discovers its magical power. This angers the king who sends him on a quest for Oriana, a beautiful princess with hair of spun gold and a gold star on her forehead, for the king to marry. Accompanied by his dog Max and his horse Pasha, armed with his newly acquired skill and guided by his good and generous heart, Tristan embarks on a long and dangerous journey. Along the way he befriends Tom, Dick and Harry, three unusual men with special skills of their own. They will encounter friends and foes and face many challenges. To find Oriana they must battle Immortal Blaze, retrieve a magic sword from the depth of the ocean, climb the Glass Mountain to obtain the Water of Life, find seeds of Vanisher and free the Bluebird of Luck from Morana's frozen land. At the end, with Oriana by his side, Tristan will need all his skills to face his biggest adversary yet. This tale is full of magic, awe-inspiring beasts and delightful characters. Tristan's nonstop struggle against evil will appeal to all readers, the very young as well as the young at hearts.

Download or read book Guide to Standard Floras of the World written by David G. Frodin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-06-14 with total page 1136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth century, and features a more fully developed review of the history of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues, although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also included. The Guide is organised in ten geographical divisions, with these successively divided into regions and units, each of which is prefaced with a historical review of floristic studies. In addition to the bibliography, the book includes general chapters on botanical bibliography, the history of floras, and general principles and current trends, plus an appendix on bibliographic searching, a lexicon of serial abbreviations, and author and geographical indexes.

Download or read book Leaf Defence written by Edward E. Farmer and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaves are among the most abundant organs on earth and are a defining feature of most terrestrial ecosystems. However, a leaf is also a potential meal for a hungry animal and the question therefore arises, why does so much foliage survive in nature? What mechanisms protect leaves so that, on a global scale, only a relatively small proportion of living leaf material is consumed? Leaf survival is in large part due to two processes: firstly, leaf-eating organisms fall prey to predators (top-down pressure on the herbivore); secondly, leaves defend themselves (bottom-up pressure on the herbivore). Remarkably, these two types of event are often linked; they are controlled and coordinated by plants and the molecular mechanisms that underlie this are now beginning to emerge. This novel text focuses exclusively on the leaf, on the herbivorous organisms that attack leaves, and the mechanisms that plants use to defend these vital organs. It begins with an assessment of the scale of herbivory, before examining direct physical and chemical defences on leaf surfaces and within the leaf itself. Although some leaf defences are easily seen, most operate at the molecular level and are therefore invisible to the naked eye. Many of these recently elucidated mechanisms are described. Throughout the book, perspectives from both the laboratory and the field are combined. A central feature of the work is its emphasis on the coevolution of leaf defences and the digestive tracts of animals including humans, making the book of relevance in understanding the role of leaf defences in agriculture. Leaf Defence is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in plant science, as well as a broader audience of biologists and biochemists seeking a comprehensive and authoritative overview of this exciting and emerging topic.
