2007019894Portland: Timber Press 2007. Well illustrated small quarto pp 224 very clean internally black cloth with the slightest signs of use in a very slightly worn price-clipped dustwrapper. "Dogwood trees and shrubs are unquestionably among the superstars of the ornamental garden. Although cornelian cherry Cornus mas and common dogwood C. sanguinea have been grown in Europe since ancient times it is only since the age of exploration in the 18th and 19th centuries that dogwoods from the New World and Asia have ascended to the high thrones of gardens where their aristocracy remains unchallenged today. Given the huge popularity of dogwoods as garden plants not to mention the hundreds of choice selections and hybrids that have come to prominence in recent decades it is surprising that there has never been a horticultural book on the genus. Paul Cappiello fills this longstanding gap with this definitive treatment for gardeners and enthusiasts. Providing a solid overview of all dogwoods of horticultural merit the author provides more than two hundred stunning photos to help with the daunting tasks of identification and plant selection. He provides helpful details on cultivation combating pests and diseases and the fundamentals of breeding and selection. Based on years of research first-hand observation and interviews with dozens of specialists and nurserypeople "Dogwoods" is an unprecedented guide to the diversity of plants available in nurseries today. Written in engaging and informative prose this book will be treasured by generations of gardeners.". Cloth. Very Good/Very Slightly Worn. Timber Press Hardcover

The last 14 pages are a Supplement - Indices of States Places and Railroad Routes of Mexico. Pringle 1838 - 1911 was an American botanist who spent a career of 35 years cataloguing the plants of North America. He was a prolific collector and accomplished botanical explorer. In 1880 he received three commissions: collecting wood samples for the Jesup Collection under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History; exploring American forests and collecting data for a final report for the United States Census Bureau working for Charles Sprague Sargent; and general botanical collecting on behalf of Asa Gray. In 1884 he made a botanical survey of the northern portions of Arizona under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution. Pringle was appointed to the Gray Herbarium as a botanical collector in 1885 eventually making 39 expeditions to Mexico over the next 24 years. In April 1896 he was elected a member of the newly established New England Botanical Club and attended the meetings when in Boston. He was a charter member and later vice-president of the Vermont Botanical Club. During his 35 years of field work in the United States Canada and Mexico Pringle collected over 500000 specimens which included some 1200 species new to science. Duplicates of his own collections were distributed widely and can be found throughout many herbaria in the United States and abroad. Cloth. Very Good. Free Press Printing Co,. Hardcover

2003014860Oxford University Press 2003. Illustrated with maps and charts octavo pp xii 266 paperback a very good copy virtually as new. No species occurs everywhere. Indeed the majority are absent from most places and where they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these distributions - the structure of the geographic ranges of species. Gaston is particularly concerned with the factors that determine the limits to a species' geographic range how the sizes of those ranges vary and patterns in that variation. Also considered are the distribution of individuals amongst those sites where a species does occur and what determines that distribution and some of the practical implications of all these. Both in a pure and applied context ecologists need a broader perspective on their subject matter than has historically prevailed. This book provides one such perspective. A must have book for any researchers and graduate students studying macroecology biogeography and conservation biology. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Oxford University Press Paperback
