1991021388Cambridge University Press 1991. Well illustrated with maps and photographs thick quarto pp xx 672 extremely clean internally green cloth in very good condition the dustwrapper is very bright and clean. A heavy book - extra postage may be required. New Zealand with its long isolation from other lands and latitudes extending from subtropical to sub Antarctic has a unique flora and highly diverse vegetation. This book is a comprehensive description of that vegetation ranging from its origins to the major communities within which the plants exist. The text supported by over 300 photographs maps and diagrams has made an outstanding contribution to the understanding of the biology of these islands. This is a reprint of the volume originally published in 1991. Chapters 1 - 4 describe the New Zealand environment flora and fauna. They discuss the origin relationships life forms and reproductive aspects of the indigenous vegetation. Chapter 5 is a synopsis of vegetation types habitat classes and environmental processes; it also serves to define the terms that are described in the book. Chapter 6 contains an outline of the geographic divisions of the country. Chapters 7 - 9 offer expanded descriptions of plant communities preceded where appropriate by information on their structure and characteristic species and genera. The concluding chapters discuss ecologic functions and processes. Vegetation of New Zealand is an essential book for botanists ecologists conservationists and others who love New Zealand's plants animals and landscapes. There will also be a large audience outside New Zealand. Its natural vegetation is unique; because of this and the longevity of its evolutionary history it has always attracted considerable global interest. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good.

De Candolle was also among the first to recognize the difference between the morphological and physiological characteristics of organs. He ascribed plant morphology as being related to the number of organs and their positions relative to each other rather than to their various physiological properties. Consequently this made him the first to attempt to attribute specific reasons for structural and numerical relationships amongst organs and thus to distinguish between major and minor aspects of plant symmetry. To account for modifications of symmetry in parts of different plants an occurrence that could hinder the discovery of an evolutionary relationship de Candolle introduced the concept of homology. De Candolle originated the idea of "Nature's war" which influenced Charles Darwin and the principle of natural selection. de Candolle recognized that multiple species may develop similar characteristics that did not appear in a common evolutionary ancestor; a phenomenon now known as convergent evolution. During his work with plants de Candolle noticed that plant leaf movements follow a near-24-hour cycle in constant light suggesting that an internal biological clock exists. Though many scientists doubted de Candolle's findings experiments over a century later demonstrated that "the internal biological clock" indeed exists. First British edition. Cloth. Good.

165093TCL8LKTV6YNetherlands 1650. Framed. Drawings 48.8 x 28.9-29.2 cm. Black chalk drawings occasionally heightened with white chalk including some light brown watercolours on grey 17th-century handmade paper without watermark. In manuscript 'Martagon' in brown ink. In lower right corner in manuscript the number '3' in ink. We have not succeeded in identifying the artist of these beautiful drawings. We know no other drawing that is clearly from the same hand. Two artists are mentioned as possible candidates Govert Flinck Cleves 1615-1660 Amsterdam and Gerbrand van den Eeckhout 1621 - Amsterdam - 1674. The present drawings are probably made around the middle of the 17th century in Holland. The composition is similar to some papers in florilegia such as Theodor de Bry 1611/1612 to 1641 and later but they never show so many species and the flowers on a sheet. This study could be a sketch for a painting not necessarily a floral still life possibly a landscape. In fine condition.l Cf. Bernt Die niederländischen Maler und Zeichner des 17.
