Berlin, Heidelberg, New York: Springer-Verlag, 1974. A few illustrations, large octavo, pp x, 307, a neat signature on the front endpaper, otherwise very clean internally, decorated cloth in very good condition. [Pollen transmits the male genetic material in sexual reproduction of all higher plants. This same pollen is also well suited as a research tool for studying many patterns of plant and animal metabolism. In addition, an increased knowledge of pollen may help plant breeders accelerate efforts to improve the world's food and fiber supply. This volume focuses upon pollen biology and chemistry; it attempts to inte grate these facts with management practices involved in pollen applications. People have long been involved with pollen. Pollen applications are recorded in the rites of ancient civilizations (see Frontispiece). From the earliest times many benefits have been attributed to the inclusion of pollen in man's diet; also, since the mid-19th century air-borne pollen has been recognized as detrimental to many people's health. Disciplines concerned with man's cultural history and the earth's changing ecology find pollen a particularly useful and accessible tool. Identifiable parts of pollen have survived over 100 million years. But most books dealing with pollen are generally concerned with the identification of the plant source, an aspect of the science of palynology; other books emphasize the natural vectors transmit ting pollen, the pollination mechanisms. Very few works include the biochem istry or biology of pollen. Yet extensive studies by physicians, as well as plant breeders and apiculturists, have contributed a sizeable body of research relating to pollen.]. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good.

All volumes should be available - please enquire. [The principal objective of this project has been to provide an inventory of all vascular plants in the flora of Mount Kinabalu. This Volume 5 completes the inventory with an enumeration of the dicotyledons in families in alphabetical order from Magnoliaceae to Winteraceae. The other four volumes cover, respectively, the ferns and fern allies, orchids, gymnosperms and non-orchid monocotyledons, and dicotyledons in families Acanthaceae to Lythraceae. The Kinabalu flora includes about 5,000 species of vascular plants, and is arguably one of the richest floras in the world on the basis of number of species on a per-unit-area basis. Additionally, Mount Kinabalu has been a centre of extremely active plant evolution and speciation and presents an outstanding natural…

A heavy book - extra postage will probably be necessary. ["This is neither a book on how humans grow orchids nor a treatise of how they classsify plants, but an extraordinary look at the bond that unites men - botanists, gardeners, plant hunters, explorers - to the names of orchids and the histories behind their discovery and scientific apprehension. The work is a great step into the realm of history, and orchids are the perfect excuse to expose the efforts, the courage and bravery, the ambition and jealousies, and the indomitable will of those men in the flesh who have made it possible to discover and name the amazing diversity of plants. Each of the 36 chapters that compose the volume tell the story of an orchid (or a few orchids) and a man, beginning with Acanthephippium sylhetense and George King,…

"In this book, real life photos are used to help young people feel more comfortable with interacting with other children and making new friends. A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties. And, of course, new body awareness and needs for privacy develop naturally in children's early years, so all these feelings can make it very hard for them to let doctors investigate the workings of…
