‎Jenny, Rudolf‎

‎Of Men and Orchids‎

‎Allmendingen Switzerland: Published by the author 2015. NEW. Very well illustrated quarto pp 303 black cloth a very good copy in dustwrapper. LIMITED EDITION OF 250 COPIES ONLY. A heavy book - extra postage will probably be necessary. "This is neither a book on how humans grow orchids nor a treatise of how they classsify plants but an extraordinary look at the bond that unites men - botanists gardeners plant hunters explorers - to the names of orchids and the histories behind their discovery and scientific apprehension. The work is a great step into the realm of history and orchids are the perfect excuse to expose the efforts the courage and bravery the ambition and jealousies and the indomitable will of those men in the flesh who have made it possible to discover and name the amazing diversity of plants. Each of the 41 chapters that compose the volume tell the story of an orchid or a few orchids and a man beginning with Acineta beyrodtiana and Otto Beyrodt going through complete biographical sketches of the protagonists and discussing the sometimes complex taxonomy of the concerned orchid species. You will find very acknowledged names in plant history like the Loddiges and Wendland dynasties or botanists of the eminence of Eduard Friedrich Poeppig and Achille Richard or famous explorers like Kegel and Jenman but you will be also surprised at finding several less known names who compose the extraordinary story of orchidology. Vriese Comparetti Haller Raddi Loefgren Lauche and Brade Moquette and Hasskarl are just a few of the many characters that are presented in the book together with the orchids that immortalize their names" - Franco Pupulin.

‎NICHOLS**, NICELLE:‎

‎BEYOND UHURA - Star Trek and Other Memories. Author SIGNATURE tipped in.‎

‎<p>LONDON.BOXTREE1995.UK8vo HBdw/djauthor SIGNED illustrated1st edn. FINE/FINE. No owner inscrptn but pasted-in signature in gold ink of author to ffe. No price clip to dw/dj. UK8vo HBdw/djSIGNED1st edn 324pp includes an Index and 24pp contemporary b/w autobiographical photographs. For nearly thirty years Nichelle Nichols has been part of the Star Trek mythos. As Lieutenant Uhura communications officer of the Starship Enterprise she was the first African-American woman to have a major continuing role on television. Her candid and insightful autobiography takes readers on her life's voyage of personal discovery and professional triumph - beyond Uhura. Granddaughter of the rebellious son of a slave owner Nichols grew up in a socially progressive family. By the age of sixteen the young singer-dancer had already been praised by Josephine Baker and had worked with Duke Ellington. With tenacity and talent she established herself as a first-rate performer in nightclubs onstage and eventually in film. From the beginning of her Hollywood career some would sayshe had two strikes against her:she was Black and she was a woman. In the face of racism a brush with the mob and an attempted rape she fought courageously against the injustices that stood between her and her dreams. Through an early job on television - years before Star Trek - Nichols met Gene Rodenberry. Describing her pivotal role in the Star Trek universe she takes readers where no book has gone before; into the heart and mind of this man the series' creator for a time her lover and afterward her friend. She also reveals the true story behind the scenes with the Star Trek family and details the evolution of the Trekker phenomenon with humour affection and respect. A symbol of hope and promise for millions of viewers Nichols continues to work toward the same goals Lieutenant Uhura and indeed all of Star Trek embody. Whether spearheading a national recruitment drive to bring minorities and women into the NASA astronaut corps or producing space-oriented educational films and programs for young people Nichols remains devoted to inspiring a sense of wonder and promise for human-kind's real-life future among the stars. Her autobiography is a moving testament to the indomitability of the human spirit.
