Title page dedication leaf pp 506 ii with seven engraved folding plates and one folding table slight damage to the margin of the ornithological plate a little age-toning generally endpapers unevenly browned but otherwise very clean internally bound in full contemporary polished calf slight wear at the corners joints cracking slightly lacking a small piece at the head of the spine. The students whose names appear on the dissertations were not necessarily their authors; it was their function to present the dissertation and defend it in public debate but the responsibility for the content of the dissertation was largely that of the professor in this case Linnaeus. The fact that Linnaeus cited the Amoenitates as the place of publication for plant names he credited to himself indicates that he was generally the principal author of the work. At the end of this volume is a list of "Editiones operum auctoris" including the Amoenitates with the clear implication that Linnaeus is the author. Of great importance for "Potus Theae" in which Pehr Tillaeus discussed among other things the properties and benefits of tea as a medicine. Tillaeus's dissertation was the first in-depth botanical study of the tea bush and he also named parts of the plant. The tea plant had only been introduced to Sweden and Europe generally as recently as 1763. Also includes Hoffman's "Potus Chocolatae" - a botanico-medical essay on the merits of drinking chocolate flavored with vanilla. Botanical accounts are given of the cacao tree Theobroma cacao L. and of the vanilla orchid Epidendrum vanilla L. = Vanilla fragrans. The preparation of the chocolate beans and of the beverage by the Spaniards is described. Linnaeus advocated use of the beverage as a pleasant drink and for treatment of hypochrondria and hemorrhoids. Other essays include : Gahn's "Fundamenta Agrostographiae" - a classified list of grasses of economic importance preceded by a history of prior studies of grasses. Laurin's "Menthae usus" - an essay on the kinds of mints useful in medicinal preparations. Lado's "Motus polychrestus" - an essay on the importance of physical exercise as a preservative and restorative of good health. Tengborg's "Hortus Culinaris" - an essay on edible and economic plants of Sweden their culture and hardiness. Includes those then in use and others suggested. Backmann's "Fundamenta ornithologica" - an exposition of the fundamentals of Linnaeus' classification of birds. Uddman's "Lepra" - An overview of leprosy including hypotheses about causes types of leprosy possible treatments. Aphonin's "Usus historiae naturalis" - An essay on the importance of a knowledge of natural history to greater improvement of agriculture and horticulture with emphasis on those kinds of plants best suited as food for each kind of domestic animal. Osterdam's "Siren lacertina" - an account of the two-legged Siren lizard of South Carolina sometimes known as the Carolina mud iguana. Berlin's "Usus Muscorum" - an historical study of the economic uses of lichens in Sweden including Lapland. Roos' "Mundus Invisibilis" - a medico-botanical treatise on airborne spores and microorganisms some of which Linnaeus believed to be responsible for infectious diseases. Blad's "Fundamenta entomologiae" - an historical review of entomology with a list of 32 pre-Linnaean authors instructions on how to collect and preserve insects and the fundamentals of their classification. Wedenberg's "Varietas ciborum" - a medico-nutritional essay on the wide range of foodstuffs eaten by man and a classification of these foods into 10 groups and the effects of diets in which each group dominates and the diseases which might result. Linnaeus' concluding advice is "Ne quid nimis" nothing in excess ! With approximately ten other essays. LATIN TEXT THROUGHOUT. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AMOENITATES VOLUMES. RARE. Full Leather.

Ink notation on front of the DJ. DJ has wear and soiling. Marie Arana born Lima Peru is a Peruvian author editor journalist critic and the inaugural Literary Director of the Library of Congress. Marie Arana earned a B.A. in Russian at Northwestern University an M.A. in linguistics at Hong Kong University and a certificate of scholarship at Yale University in China. She began her career in book publishing becoming vice president and senior editor at Harcourt Brace and Simon & Schuster. For more than a decade she was the editor in chief of "Book World" the book review section of The Washington Post during which time she instituted the partnership of The Washington Post with First Lady Laura Bush and the Librarian of Congress James H. Billington in hosting the annual National Book Festival on the Washington Mall. Arana claimed to be the only Hispanic division head of the newspaper at this time. She for many years directed all programming for the National Book Festival among numerous other programs at the Library. Arana is a Writer at Large for The Washington Post. Arana 's memoir about a bicultural childhood American Chica: Two Worlds One Childhood finalist for the 2001 National Book Award as well as the Martha PEN/Albrand Award for the Art of the Memoir and the author of Cellophane a satirical novel which was a finalist for the John Sargent Prize. From her father's genteel Peruvian family Marie Arana was taught to be a proper lady yet from her mother's American family she learned to shoot a gun break a horse and snap a chicken's neck for dinner. Arana shuttled easily between these deeply separate cultures for years. But only when she immigrated with her family to the United States did she come to understand that she was a hybrid American an individual whose cultural identity was split in half. Coming to terms with this split is at the heart of this graceful beautifully realized portrait of a child who "was a north-south collision a New World fusion. An American Chica." Through Arana's eyes the reader will discover not only the diverse earthquake-prone terrain of Peru charged with ghosts of history and mythology but also the vast prairie lands of Wyoming "grave-slab flat" and hemmed by mountains. In these landscapes resides a fierce and colorful cast of family members who bring her history vividly to life among them Arana's proud paternal grandfather Victor Manuel Arana Sobrevilla who one day simply stopped coming down the stairs; her dazzling maternal grandmother Rosa Cisneros y Cisneros "clicking through the house as if she were making her way onstage"; Grandpa Doc her maternal grandfather who by example taught her about the constancy of love. But most important are Arana's parents Jorge and Marie. He a brilliant engineer she a talented musician. For more than half a century these two passionate strong-willed people struggled to overcome the bicultural tensions in their marriage and finally to prevail. The Dial Press hardcover

2017012559Kota Kinabalu & Singapore 2017. Very well illustrated large 8vo pp xii 261 pictorial laminated boards dustwrapper. This is a new copy but there has been a very slight bumping of the corners in transit. The first volume of A Taxonomic Guide to the Stick Insects of Borneo stunned the entomological world with its extensive photographs and comprehensive identification keys. Volume II continues in this tradition to open new trails to a better understanding of Bornean stick insect fauna. This time the author concentrates his efforts on the stick insects of Mount Trusmadi the second highest mountain in Borneo with her peak at 2642 m asl. Besides Trusmadi the author also studied the drawers of the entomological collections of Kinabalu Park and Forest Research Centre Sepilok. Volume II lists 373 Bornean species or subspecies from 92 genera with descriptions of 4 new genera 1 genus new to Borneo 37 new species 4 new name combinations 3 new synonyms; 2 wrong synonyms and 9 descriptions of the previously unknown sex of known species. Together these two volumes will have described 19 new genera with 88 new species. This volume is an indispensable reference to anyone interested in the insect fauna of Borneo; no matter if its just for admiring the splendid photographs or trying to identify an insect in the forest or most essentially for the person working through a taxonomic problem.
