Guide to Wild Fruits of Borneo

2019N38051Natural History Publications Borneo 2019. 311 Col photos. 216x153mm. HB. NEW. . The edible wild fruits nuts and seeds of Borneo that are found in the different forests from coastal seashores and islands through the lowlands and hills to the montane forests and on different soils are estimated to be in the region of 500 different species. These were consumed by the many groups of people inhabiting the island over many decades. They were the ones who had initially discovered whether different fruits nuts and seeds were edible and that some otherwise toxic species become edible only after cooking or fermentation processes. Botanists and taxonomists have subsequently provided the scientific names for these plants and classified most of them into their respective families and genera. However there are still new species being discovered in what are some of the most species-rich forests in the world and for many genera Borneo is their centre of diversity. Many species are rare and little known and over 30% of plant species are endemic to Borneo.The lowland forests are particularly rich with most of the species being trees but treelets shrubs and herbs also have species with edible fruits. This guide mostly introduces the better-known species but to showcase this diversity some examples of rare or little-known species are also included resulting in a total of 34 families 55 genera and 109 species being illustrated.Many of the lowland forests have now been cleared for the development of agriculture forest plantations towns and roads and the diversity of varieties of some species has become greatly reduced. Though some germplasm has been conserved in agricultural stations and research facilities much more needs to be done so that those species with good commercial potential can be selected and bred as future crops for farmers. Some species have already been researched and selected clones made available but there are still many more with good horticultural potential. 9789838121910 Natural History Publications (Borneo) unknown

Hour I First Believed The

20087118-10.3022Content appears as new unopened unread and unblemished with fine dark blue cloth covered boards in DJ displaying some surface/edge wear as shown. Large repaired clean tear on face.Synopsis: A glacially paced novel of modern manners and mayhem its chief elements being middle-aged angst mass murder and pizza. Like Jack Torrance of Stephen King's The Shining Caelum Quirk is a man of ambition who moved to Colorado to find his fortune and wound up teaching creative writing to the unwilling. At the beginning of the book we learn that Caelum's wife Maureen has been engaging in certain extracurricular activities. While Caelum does not take an ax to the offending parties he is consigned to the hell of anger-management courses all the same. For her part Maureen discovers horror when violence erupts at the school where she works—namely Columbine High in the tidy Denver suburb of Littleton. Caelum a teacher is absent attending to a sick aunt across the country. While doing so and over the course of much time and much talk among many characters Maureen reckons with having become unhinged while Caelum discovers ominous clippings in the family archive. Lamb I Know This Much Is True 1998 etc. writes at considerable leisure about all this; indeed the gunfire starts 150 pages into the narrative. Meanwhile and after there is much pondering. Lamb knows how to put together a good meaning-charged sentence "I've stalked the monster during long meditative runs on country roads at the bottoms of wine and scotch bottles and over the Internet that labyrinth inside the labyrinth" but there are plenty of clunkers too. Moreover the takeaway point isn't quite clear: Lamb seems to be suggesting that inside every one of us or at least every family there's a Dylan Klebold screaming to get out and plenty of skeletons for too few closets.A clearer focus and a forgone subplot or two would have helped. Of interest however as an entry in the body of literature that has emerged from real tragedy.Insurance & handling is included free. Extra Charges/Fees apply on Shipments Outside The U.S. and Expedited Shipments. Oversize and/or heavy books may require additional fees. Will advise.
