SUMIRA SYLVIA
Globes: 400 Years Of Exploration Navigation And Power
University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2014. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The concept of the earth as a sphere has been around for centuries emerging around the time of Pythagoras in the sixth century BC and eventually becoming dominant as other thinkers of the ancient world including Plato and Aristotle accepted the idea. The first record of an actual globe being made is found in verse written by the poet Aratus of Soli who describes a celestial sphere of the stars by Greek astronomer Eudoxus of Cnidus ca. 408-355 BC. The oldest surviving globe�a celestial globe held up by Atlas's shoulders�dates back to 150 AD but in the West globes were not made again for about a thousand years. It was not until the fifteenth century that terrestrial globes gained importance culminating when German geographer Martin Behaim created what is thought to be the oldest surviving terrestrial globe. In Globes: 400 Years of Exploration Navigation and Power Sylvia Sumira beginning with Behaim's globe offers a authoritative and striking illustrated history of the subsequent four hundred years of globe making. Showcasing the impressive collection of globes held by the British Library Sumira traces the inception and progression of globes during the period in which they were most widely used�from the late fifteenth century to the late nineteenth century�shedding light on their purpose function influence and manufacture as well as the cartographers printers and instrument makers who created them. She takes readers on a chronological journey around the world to examine a wide variety of globes from those of the Renaissance that demonstrated a renewed interest in classical thinkers; to those of James Wilson the first successful commercial globe maker in America; to those mass-produced in Boston and New York beginning in the 1800s. Along the way Sumira not only details the historical significance of each globe but also pays special attention to their materials and methods of manufacture and how these evolved over the centuries. A stunning and accessible guide to one of the great tools of human exploration Globes will appeal to historians collectors and anyone who has ever examined this classroom accessory and wondered when why and how they came to be made. 120 color plates 8 1/2 x 11. "A massive gorgeous art book tracing the history of globes." --Cory Doctorow Boing Boing "Beautifully illustrated." --CHOICE "A beautifully photographed tour of the British Library's collection of globes most of which date from the early sixteenth century to the nineteenth century. There are terrestrial globes celestial globes pocket globes globes of the moon and a decadent blue globe made in China in the early 1600s. Most of the globes were made with a scientific purpose to aid navigation or to demonstrate the parallax of the moon. But together they suggest something beyond precision: a reverent effort to make sense of the mysterious place we plant our feet." --Boston Globe Brainiac Blog "In her lavishly illustrated new book Globes: 400 years of Exploration Navigation and Power Sumira traces the history and making of globes and showcases dozens of fine examples drawn largely from the collection of the British Library." -- Greg Miller Wired Map Lab Blog "All you ever wanted to know about the history of globes and how they have been made. See inside them as well as admire their geographical and astronomical exteriors in this beautifully illustrated book by a real expert Sylvia Sumira. Some of the most famous globes in the world and those from the British Library's rarely displayed collection are revealed in their various guises; as symbols of power and mathematical instruments of geography and astronomy as well as teaching aids and games for young people. A book not to be missed." --Sarah Tyacke University of London and the Society for the History of the Map "This fully illustrated book centered around the British Library's outstanding collection of globes provides a clear and authoritative introduction to some of the world's most sought-after and artistic cartographic creations�including the captivating and little known miniature globes which were a particular English specialty. The author has an unparalleled familiarity with globes through her work as one of the world's most expert globe restorers. It has given her a surely unique perspective. While most experts look at globes from the outside she looks at them from the inside outwards. In the process and in simple language she skillfully guides the reader through the complexities of their construction and use as well as provides an overview of the fascinating story of their development over the centuries." -- Peter Barber British Library "Globes by professional globe-restorer Sylvia Sumira is a history of globe-making from the late-15th through the late-19th centuries when globes were used as educational tools scientific instruments and status symbols. It is also breathtakingly beautiful. . . . Certainly worth a spin Globes will grab the imagination of anyone fascinated by maps." -- Shelf Awareness University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London: 2014 hardcover

GRANDE LANCE & AUGUSTYN ALLISON
Gems And Gemstones: Timeless Natural Beauty Oof The Mineral World
University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2009. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Gems are objects of wealth icons of beauty and emblems of the very best of everything. They are kept as signs of prestige or power. Given as tokens of love and affection they also come in a kaleidoscopic array of hues and can be either mineral or organic. Gems can command a person's gaze in the way they play with light and express rich color. And they can evoke feelings of passion greed mystery and warmth. For millennia gems have played an important role in human culture: they have significant value both financially and within folklore and mythology. But just what are gems exactly This lavishly illustrated volume�the most ambitious publication of its kind�provides a general introduction to gems and natural gemstones conveying their timeless beauty and exploring similarities among different species and varieties. Gems and Gemstones features nearly 300 color images of the cut gems precious and semiprecious stones gem-quality mineral specimens and fine jewelry to be unveiled in a new Grainger Hall of Gems at The Field Museum in Chicago this October. The book and exhibition's overarching theme will be the relationship between finished gems and their natural origin: while beautiful as faceted and polished pieces of jewelry gems are often just as lovely�or even more so�as gemstones in their natural state. For example an aquamarine or emerald as originally found in a mine with its natural crystal faces can be as stunning as any cut and polished gem prepared for a ring bracelet or charm. Thoughtful of both ancient and modern times Gems and Gemstones also includes fun-filled facts and anecdotes that broaden the historical portrait of each specimen. When Harry Winston for instance donated the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian in 1958 he sent it through the U.S. mail wrapped in plain brown paper. And for anyone who has ever marveled at the innovations of top jewelry designers Gems and Gemstones features a dazzling array of polished stones gold objects and creations from around the world. Diamonds sapphires rubies amethysts pearls topaz amber�every major gem gets its due in what will be an invaluable source on the subject for years to come.

Practical Botany For Gardeners: Over 3000 Botanical Terms Explained And Explored
University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2013. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Gardening can be frustratingly shrouded in secrecy. Fickle plants make seemingly spontaneous decisions to bloom or bust seeds sprout magically in the blink of an eye and deep-rooted mysteries unfold underground and out of sight. Understanding basic botany is like unlocking a horticultural code; fortunately learning a little science can reveal the secrets of the botanical universe and shed some light on what's really going on in your garden. Practical Botany for Gardeners provides an elegant and accessible introduction to the world of botany. It presents the essentials that every gardener needs to know connecting explanations of scientific facts with useful gardening tips. Flip to the roots section and you'll not only learn how different types of roots support a plant but also find that adding fungi to soil aids growth. The pruning section both defines "lateral buds" and explains how far back on a shoot to cut in order to propagate them. The book breaks down key areas and terminology with easy-to-navigate chapters arranged by theme such as plant types plant parts inner workings and external factors. "Great Botanists" and "Botany in Action" boxes delve deeper into the fascinating byways of plant science. This multifaceted book also includes two hundred botanical illustrations and basic diagrams that hearken to the classic roots of botany. Part handbook part reference Practical Botany for Gardeners is a beautifully captivating read. It's a must for garden lovers and backyard botanists who want to grow and nurture their own plant knowledge. 200 color plates. Boston Globe "For anyone who has been horrified by the lopsided life that remains after a bout of pruning gardening writer Geoff Hodge has some gentle advice: Pruning is both an art and a science. You'll be better equipped to take on the challenge after reading the chapter on pruning in Practical Botany for Gardeners. . . . Botanical illustrations on almost every page add a decorative touch and profiles of botanical artists pay tribute to those who make plants come alive on the page." Denver Post "A gentle guide to the green world . . . organized precisely how a nonbotanist would need it done. Chapters introduce the plant kingdom and how botanists classify it; tackle growth form and function; and take you inside a plant to understand how its cells nutrition and hormones actually function. Others explore reproduction soil pests and disorders. . . It's a beautiful book. University of Chicago Press, Chicago and London: 2013 hardcover

HARRISON LORRAINE
Latin For Gardeners: Over 3000 Plant Names Explained And Explored
University of Chicago Press Chicago and London: 2012. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Since Latin became the standard language for plant naming in the eighteenth century it has been intrinsically linked with botany. And while mastery of the classical language may not be a prerequisite for tending perennials all gardeners stand to benefit from learning a bit of Latin and its conventions in the field. Without it they might buy a Hellebores foetidus and be unprepared for its fetid smell or a Potentilla reptans with the expectation that it will stand straight as a sentinel rather than creep along the ground. An essential addition to the gardener's library this colorful fully illustrated book details the history of naming plants provides an overview of Latin naming conventions and offers guidelines for pronunciation. Readers will learn to identify Latin terms that indicate the provenance of a given plant and provide clues to its color shape fragrance taste behavior functions and more. Full of expert instruction and practical guidance Latin for Gardeners will allow novices and green thumbs alike to better appreciate the seemingly esoteric names behind the plants they work with and to expertly converse with fellow enthusiasts. Soon they will realize that having a basic understanding of Latin before trips to the nursery or botanic garden is like possessing some knowledge of French before traveling to Paris; it enriches the whole experience.
