(Lipsia, Gleditsch, 1756) estratto con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 704/709 - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

ALLRED SYLVESTER
Ponderosa: Big Pine Of The Southwest
University of Arizona Press Tucson: 2015. Hardcover no dustjacket. Brand new book. For hundreds of years the massive ponderosa pine of the U.S. Southwest has left multitudes in awe. After spending nearly three decades researching among these trees Sylvester Allred shares his wealth of experience in the southwestern ponderosa pine forests with the world in Ponderosa. Ponderosa is the first of its kind to provide an introduction to the natural and human histories of the ponderosa pine forests of the Southwest that is accessible to all who wish to enjoy the forests. The book offers knowledge on elemental aspects of the forests such as the structure of the trees as well as theoretical perspectives on issues such as climate change. Included are discussions of biogeography ecology and human and natural history illustrated by over fifty color photographs throughout. Allred presents his observations as if he is recalling his thoughts over the course of a walk in a ponderosa pine forest. His imagery-saturated prose provides an informal and enjoyable approach to discovering the history and environment of the ponderosa pine. Using a concise straightforward writing style Allred invites readers to explore the forests with him. Includes orem than 50 color photos. Learn how to estimate the age of a tree. See the reptiles birds and mammals that make their home in ponderosa pine forests. Much more! Sylvester Allred is a principal lecturer emeritus at Northern Arizona University. He is author of The Natural History of Tassel-Eared Squirrels as well as several children's books. He has served as an ecological consultant for the British Broadcasting Corporation the Department of Energy and the Discovery Channel. He currently consults with McGraw-Hill and Oxford University Press on biology geology environmental science and oceanography textbooks. "It's as though one strolls through the woods and notices items that attract attention. Or to mix metaphors it's like a cabinet of curiosities in which one artifact or another draws the eye more or less at random." �Stephen J. Pyne author of How the Grand Canyon Became Grand: A Short History "The book provides a highly readable and informative overview of the natural and human histories and ecology of ponderosa pine forests of the Southwest."�Thomas Kolb co-author of "Drought Predisposes Pi�on-Juniper Woodlands to Insect Attacks and Mortality" "While there are numerous books and journal articles about the unique character and features of southwestern ponderosa pine forests�presented in both technical and lay terminology�I know of no other reference that undertakes the same specific scope and local perspective as presented by the author."�Peter F. Ffolliott author of Natural Resources Management Practices: A Primer Ponderosa University of Arizona Press, Tucson: 2015 hardcover

Nell’opera con frontespzio proprio: Prosepro Alpini de Balsamo Dialogus In quo verissima Balsami Plantae, Opobalsami, Carpobalsami, & Xylobalsami cognito, plerisque antiquorum atque juniorem Medicorum occulta, nunc elucescit. Prima rarissima edizione, nella versione stampata da Boutesteyn Cornelis weduwe & Boutesteyn Pieter, di questa celeberrima raccolta di scritti del grande medico, botanico e scienziato vicentino originario di Marostica, Prospero Alpini. Botestein pubblicò una prima volta la celeberrima opera di Alpini nel 1718. Nello stesso anno pubblicò anche la “De Rhapontico disputatio” che risulta ancor più rara dell’altra opera, tanto che nessun esemplare è censito in ICCU. L’anno dopo, nel 1719 ripubblicò le opere in un unico volume. Alpini “Nato a Marostica, nella Repubblica di Venezia, in gioventù servì le armi nell’esercito milanese, ma nel 1574 decise di studiare medicina all’Università di Padova, dove si laureò nel 1578. Iniziò la professione di medico a Camposampiero, un piccolo paese del territorio padovano, ma dopo poco tempo, nel 1580, il patrizio veneto Giorgio Emo, nominato console a Il Cairo in Egitto dalla Repubblica Veneta, lo volle con sé come medico personale: in questo modo poté dedicarsi allo studio della botanica, suo interesse scientifico prevalente. Trascorse circa tre anni in questo paese, fino al 1584, e, dalle pratiche di coltivazione della Palma da dattero, Alpini dedusse il concetto di differenza sessuale nelle piante, che in seguito fu adottato come fondamento dal sistema di classificazione scientifica di Linneo. Egli comprese che “le palme da dattero femminili non portavano il frutto a meno che non ci fosse un mescolamento tra i rami maschili e femminili o, come generalmente avviene, a meno che la polverina prodotta dai fiori maschili non fosse cosparsa sui fiori femminili”. Nel 1584 tornò a Venezia e in seguito, risiedette per qualche tempo a Genova come medico di Andrea Doria. Nel 1590 tornò di nuovo a Venezia e nel 1593 ottenne la cattedra di lettura dei semplici all’Università di Padova. Dal 1603 fu nominato prefetto dell’orto botanico e titolare anche della cattedra di ostensione dei semplici (l’odierna farmacologia). … Nel De Medicina Egyptiorum (Venezia, 1591) sono contenute le prime considerazioni sulla pianta del caffè pubblicate in Europa.”. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Rarissima edizione. Rif. Bibl.: Rappaport n. 15-80.
