Editorial Review Product Description With this book you will be able to recognize patterns inplants everywhere you goin the wild, in your garden, among houseplants, even at the florist.Understand the magic of patterns amongplants, and the world will never look the same again! Many people recognize plants from the Mint family becausethey have square stalks, opposite leaves and most of them smellminty.I like to start my classes with a discussion of thethe Mints because this pattern is so well known.What people dontrealize is that similar patterns exist for other families of plants aswell.Simply put, the study of botany is the study of patterns inplants! Learning patterns in plants is fun, and you only need tolearn about 100 broad patterns to recognize something about virtuallyevery plant from coast to coast across the northern latitdudes. In a two hour plant walk we typically start with the MintFamily, then progress through the Mustard, Pea, Parsley, Borage, Lilyand Aster Families, so that every student can easily recognize thesecommon families representing several thousand species.Ive hadpeople tell me they learned more in that two hour walk than in anentire semester of botany in college. Thomas J. Elpel, Botanyin a Day AUTHORBIO: Thomas J. Elpel had the rare opportunity as achild to spend hundreds of hours with his grandmother, exploring thehills and meadows of Montana.Toms grandmother helped him tolearn about the native plants and their uses, igniting a passion fornature that has inspired Tom ever since. Tom is now the director of Hollowtop Outdoor Primitive School(HOPS) in Pony, Montana where he teaches classes on stone ageskills, including botany.Botany in a Day grew from Toms desireto provide an easy means for other people to discover a closerconnection with the natural world.Tom is also the author of threeother books inspired by nature, including: Participating in Nature,Direct Pointing to Real Wealth and Living Homes.

Editorial Review Product Description In the early modern world, botany was big science and big business, critical to Europe's national and trade ambitions. Tracing the dynamic relationships among plants, peoples, states, and economies over the course of three centuries, this collection of essays offers a lively challenge to a historiography that has emphasized the rise of modern botany as a story of taxonomies and "pure" systems of classification. Charting a new map of botany along colonial coordinates, reaching from Europe to the New World, India, Asia, and other points on the globe, Colonial Botany explores how the study, naming, cultivation, and marketing of rare and beautiful plants resulted from and shaped European voyages, conquests, global trade, and scientific exploration.

Editorial Review Product Description "Carolly Erickson is one of the most accomplished and successful historical biographers writing in English." The First Elizabeth "Even more readable and absorbing than the justly praised works of Tuchman and Fraser. A vivid and eminently readable portrait of history’s favorite Tudor." "A masterpiece of narrative, a story so absorbing it is as hard to put down as a fine novel." Alexandra "Gifted . . . breathless . . . heartbreaking . . . Erickson excels." Josephine "An intimate, richly detailed, and candid portrait . . . [Erickson’s] scholarly insights combine superbly with a mastery of period manners more often found in the best historical fiction." Mistress Anne "Carolly Erickson is a most admirable biographer, and this book is highly enjoyable as well as being reliable and acute; indeed, it is popular historical biography at its best."
