150 pages. Abstract as follows: "The vegetation of the Vernon map sheet area is diverse in response to variation in climate and site conditions. The diversity of the plant cover is characterized by vegetation types. The vegetation of the area is characterized by two Regions: the Dry Interior and Interior Wet Belt Regions. Within each region, patterns of zones (climactic climax potential) and subzones (successional patterns) are recognized. A standard reconnaissance vegetation survey was implemented and 290 vegetation plots were located. Computer analysis of the plots resulted in the identification of forty-five vegetation types, representing seral and climax vegetation in the Dry Interior and Interior Wet Belt Regions. For each type the relationships between environmental characteristics and vegetation were assessed. The evaluation of these relationships is important for the application of the vegetation information to resource management. Interpretations of each vegetation type are made for wildlife, forestry and recreation values. The interpretations provide information which can be used to assess relative values of vegetation for different users." Average wear. Unmarked. Minor sticker residue upon illustrated front cover.

Het meesterwerk van Maria Sibylla Merian, een van de grootste vrouwelijke wetenschappers en kunstenaars uit de 17de eeuw. Metamorphosis Insectorum Surinamensium (gepubliceerd in 1705) was het werk van een zeer ondernemende en zelfstandige vrouw Maria Sibylla Merian. Zij reisde hiervoor in 1699 speciaal naar Suriname om daar onderzoek te doen naar de voortplanting en de ontwikkeling van insecten. Tegenwoordig wordt zij beschouwd als een zeer begenadigd kunstenaar, maar ook als een empirische wetenschapper, die als een van de eersten het gangbare idee van de spontane generatie van insecten uit aarde naar het rijk der fabelen verwees. Haar leven en werk worden internationaal onderzocht door botanici, entomologen en historici die zich bezighouden met de geschiedenis van wetenschap, kunst, religie en economie. Wetenschappelijke publicaties over haar en haar werk zijn legio. Er werden talloze tentoonstellingen aan haar werk gewijd en gedichten of romans over haar geschreven (o.a. in het Nederlands door Bertus Aafjes en Inez van Dullemen). Deze van oorsprong Duitse dame, die naar Nederland uitweek, sierde tot de overgang naar de euro het biljet van 500 Duitse mark. De facsimile wordt voorafgegaan door enkele essays in het Nederlands en Engels die het leven van Maria Sibylla Merian, haar volledige oeuvre en haar tijd belichten. De oorspronkelijke teksten worden achteraan in het boek ook vertaald in het Engels. Het boek sluit af met een index van planten-, dieren- en insectennamen.
