        On the Move

        by Art studio Agrafka (Authors), Art studio Agrafka (Illustrators)

        The universe is always on the move: Nothing in it remains completely at rest. Movement is natural: The Earth, the water on it, the atmosphere, the continents, and all living organisms exist in a state of constant motion. We walk, run, jump, crawl, swim, and fly. We travel. This book is about movement and travel—not only by people, but also that of animals, plants, the wind, water, and our planet. It describes journeys for the purpose of trade and commerce, journeys for the purpose of pleasure and repose or for survival, as well as scientific expeditions and pilgrimages. It’s about migrations, maps, navigation, and, finally, about finding your own path. Travellers often hear questions associated with "where" and "where from:" "Where are you going?", "Where are you from?" This book is a visual and intellectual expedition through thousands of years of movement, in search of answers to these as well as many other questions related to movement.       From 6 to 9 years, 2896 words Rightsholders: Ivan Fedechko,  ivan.fedechko@starlev.com.ua

        Aquatic Plants from the Colombian Orinoquia

        by Santiago Madriñán, Anabel Rial, Ana-María Bedoya, Mateo Fernández-Lucero

        This book presents, through short descriptions and detailed photographs taken during three years of fieldwork, almost three hundred species of aquatic plants found in the lower basin of the Colombian Orinoco. It is written in a language that is accessible to the general public but that does not neglect the scientific and rigorous nature characteristic of botanics. It constitutes the most complete list of aquatic plants of the Colombian Oronoco to date; a product of specimens collected in the field and classified in a herbarium by the authors. One of the goals of this book is to inspire and instruct the reader whether he is sitting at home, studying at University, working at the herbarium or walking through the majestic floodplains of the Colombian Orinoco. In the field, the book helps professional and amateur botanists, Colombian and foreign, and from the plains or any of the country's other regions, to identify the different species. The beauty of the aquatic flora of the Colombian Orinoco, recorded in the photographs, is an incentive to see beyond the apparent monotony of the grasslands that dominate the savannas and to discover among the surales, creeks and Moriche palms and immense and cryptic diversity. After all, the Colombian plains are very diverse and home to unique species that deserve to be studied for their beauty and their ecological importance, and to be protected from the terrible threats they currently face.

        Plant Taxonomy and Biosystematics

        Classical and Modern Methods

        by T.S.Rana, K.N.Nair & D.K.Upreti

        The basic aim of this manual is to provide useful resource materials for training young students and faculties working in the area of plant systematics. The manual provides updated information on basic as well as applied aspects of plant systematics on various groups of plants like Algae, Lichens, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes, Gymnosperms and Angiosperms. 1 to 3 describe the various approaches and methods to study microbial and fungal diversity, which is basically a very useful precursor to the students and young researchers. 4 and 5 provide deals with the multi-dimensional approaches in Lichen systematics. The book progresses upwards through the plethora of information on the diversity and systematics of Algae, Bryophytes, Pteridophytes and Gymnosperms ( 6-10). 11 to 15 contain on the plant methodological details identification, approaches and methods of Flora, revision, monograph and development of herbarium. This information is very important for the students and young faculties who intend to pursue their researches in plant taxonomy. 14 and 15 particularly provide all the relevant information on the International Code of Plant nomenclature including cultivated plants. These s per se are very significant for the amateur as well as serious readers of plant taxonomy. Plant taxonomy and biosystematics is a dynamic subject, as it derives information from various other disciplines like palynology, seed morphology, pharmacognosy, molecular biology, etc. We have, therefore, broaden the scope of this book by including the s on palynology, seed morphology, molecular systematics, biostatistics, ecological and remote sensing methods for diversity analyses, and pharmacognostical tools for identification of herbal drugs ( 16-22). The knowledge and information on these applied aspects of biology in relation to taxonomy will certainly infuse the interest in readers, who are pursuing plant taxonomy as their scientific pursuits. 23 and 24 describe the various methods of characterization and evaluation of ornamental and medicinal plants. The last (25) of the book provides the information about CSIR-NBRI Botanic Garden and its various repositories, which could be of great interest to the readers from the perspectives of plant conservation.

        Your herbarium. 160 medicinal plants

        by Agosto Vecchio

        Medicinal herbs have a thousand-year history that is often lost between myth and legend. Since ancient times, the discovery of the medicinal properties of herbs and plants has prompted man to form catalogs in which they were described and illustrated in great detail, to allow identification and to recommend their use. True treasures for bibliophiles, ancient herbaria are jealously guarded by lucky collectors or in library archives. This selection, from the Library of the Natural History Museum in Paris, faithfully reproduces the splendid illustrations of the most important species and deals with their general properties and how to use them to prevent or mitigate minor discomforts and improve both their physical health and their condition. of spirit.

        Álbum de plantas prohibidas (Album of forbidden plants)

        by María del Carmen Tostado Gutiérrez

        Album of plants as a herbarium, a container of botanical information, a window to understand the limits of imagination and scientific knowledge of each era and, of course, of the graphic representation of different geographies and periods. Likewise, there is here an account of the popular, industrial and historical uses of each plant and, in turn, a graphic and poetic essay on each one. If ethnology is the science of diversity, it is evident here. In this book, disciplines, periods, styles and places are crossed, and all of this by the hand of plants, travelers par excellence.

        Refugia

        Poems

        by Kyce Bello

        Winner of the inaugural Interim 2018 Test Site Poetry Series Prize, Refugia is a bright and hopeful voice in the current conversation about climate change. Kyce Bello’s stunning debut ponders what it means to inhabit a particular place at a time of enormous disruption, witnessing a beloved landscape as it gives way to, as Bello writes, “something other and unknown, growing beyond us.” Ultimately an exploration of resilience, Refugia brings to life the author’s home ground in Northern New Mexico and carefully observes the seasons in parallel with personal cycles of renewal and loss. These vivid poems touch upon history, inheritance, drought, and most of all, trees—be they Western conifers succumbing to warming temperatures, ramshackle orchards along the Rio Grande, or family trees reaching simultaneously into the past and future.Like any wilderness, Refugia creates a terrain that is grounded in image and yet many-layered and complex. These poems write us back into an ecological language of place crucial to our survival in this time of environmental crisis.

        The Wild Meadow

        Discover the diversity of a hidden world

        by Angelika Huber-Janisch, Annette Zacharias

        Crawling, chirping, flying and buzzing: a meadow is full of action! And a wild meadow is a fascinating place: A miniature biotope just waiting to be discovered. This book aims to raise awareness among children and adults of how to help preserve what we consider to be everyday, run-of-the-mill meadows, because they are not only home to a wide range of flowers, but innumerable creatures above and below ground. Meadows play a decisive role in a well-functioning ecosystem. This book takes a look at the flowers and plants, fungi and mosses which grow here and which children can then examine more closely on their next walk. And there are various animals and phenomena underground, too – an exciting microcosm whose diversity is little known.
