P. B. Tomlinson,Martin B. Zimmerman: Tropical Trees as Living Systems

Tropical Trees as Living Systems


Description

When this book was first published in 1978, tropical forests were unquestionably the largest scientifically unexplored region of the world, and being rapidly depleted by short-term exploitation. Species were being rendered extinct at a rate that is probably greater than the rate at which they are being discovered. This book is an assessment of scientific knowledge of tropical tree biology - construction, development, physiology, reproductive biology and evolution - set against a background of community ecology and forest structure. Its emphasis is on the study of the individual tree as a living system integrated into the larger forest community. The book publishes the results of the Fourth Cabot Symposium held at the Harvard Forest in 1976 and presents the special knowledge of the participants, each an expert in a special field. Much of the subject matter is presented in the form of reviews, making information easily accessible to an interested nonspecialist audience.

Award-winning author and leading artist Terry Harrison provides over 100 top tips for painting in acrylics in a small, spiral-bound format that artists will find convenient to use while painting. Terry takes the mystery out of painting with quick, clever tips that are easy to follow and effective, covering topics from what to buy and how to transfer images to using watercolour and oil techniques with acrylics, using additives such as texture paste or even eggshells and sawdust, and painting skies, fields, foregrounds, trees, mountains, water, buildings and more. Darbury, England, 1814 Amelia Barrett gave her word. Keeping it could cost her everything. Amelia Barrett, heiress to an estate nestled in the English moors, defies family expectations and promises to raise her dying friend's baby. She'll risk everything to keep her word-even to the point of proposing to the child's father-a sea captain she's never met. When the child vanishes with little more than an ominous ransom note hinting at her whereabouts, Amelia and Graham are driven to test the boundaries of their love for this little one. Amelia's detailed plans would normally see her through any trial, but now, desperate and shaken, she's forced to examine her soul and face her one weakness: pride. Graham's strength and self-control have served him well and earned him much respect, but chasing perfection has kept him a prisoner of his own discipline. And away from the family he has sworn to love and protect. Both must learn to have faith and relinquish control so they can embrace Carl D.

[It] grabbed my attention from the first lines and I eagerly returned to its pages."
