Carracedo, Juan Carlos & Troll, Valentin R
Teide Volcano : Geology and Eruptions of a Highly Differentiated Oceanic Stratovolcano
Heidelberg & New York: Springer 2013. Illustrated large octavo pp xiv 279 pictorial boards a very good copy almost as new. Teide Volcano has many different meanings: For the Guanche aborigines who endured several of its eruptions it was Echeide Hell. Early navigators had in Teide a lifesaving widely visible landmark that was towering over the clouds. For the first explorers Teide was a challenging and dangerous climb since it was thought that Teide's peak was so high that from its summit the sun was too close and far too hot to survive. Teide was considered the highest mountain in the world at that time and measuring its height precisely was a great undertaking and at the time of global scientific significance. For von Buch von Humboldt Lyell and other great 18th and19th century naturalists Teide helped to shape a new and now increasingly 'volcanic' picture where the origin of volcanic rocks from solidified magma slowly casted aside Neptunism and removed some of the last barriers for the development of modern Geology and Volcanology as the sciences we know today. For the present day population of Tenerife living on top of the world's third tallest volcanic structure on the planet Teide has actually become "Padre Teide" a fatherly protector and an emblematic icon of Tenerife not to say of the Canaries as a whole. The UNESCO acknowledged this iconic and complex volcano as "of global importance in providing evidence of the geological processes that underpin the evolution of oceanic islands". Today 'Teide National Park' boasts 4 Million annual visitors including many 'volcano spotters' and is a spectacular natural environment which most keep as an impression to treasure and to never forget. For us the editors of this book Teide is all of the above; a 'hell of a job' a navigation point on cloudy days a challenge beyond imagination a breakthrough in our understanding of oceanic volcanism that has shaped our way of thinking about volcanoes and lastly "Teide" provides us with a reference point from where to start exploring other oceanic volcanoes in the Canaries and beyond.

Plant Breeding - Principles and Prospects.
London: Chapman & Hall 1993. A few text illustrations small thick quarto pp xxvi 550 hardbound in original laminated boards an exceptionally good copy. Our requirement for plant breeders to be successful has never been greater. However one views the forecasted numbers for future population growth we will need in the immediate future to be feeding clothing and housing many more people than we do inadequately at present. Plant breeding represents the most valuable strategy in increasing our productivity in a way that is sustainable and environmentally sensitive. Plant breeding can rightly be considered as one of the oldest multidisciplinary subjects that is known to humans. It was practised by people who first started to carry out a settled form of agriculture. The art as it must have been at that stage was applied without any formal underlying framework but achieved dramatic results as witnessed by the forms of cultivated plants we have today. We are now learning how to apply successfully the results of yet imperfect scientific knowledge. This knowledge is however rapidly developing particularly in areas of tissue culture biotechnology and molecular biology. Plant breeding's inherent multifaceted nature means that alongside obvious subject areas like genetics we also need to consider areas such as: statistics physiology plant pathology entomology biochemistry weed science quality seed characteristics repro ductive biology trial design selection and computing. It therefore seems apparent that modern plant breeders need to have a grasp of wide range of scientific knowledge and expertise if they are successfully to a exploit the techniques protocols and strategies which are open to them.

Spot Characters for the Identification of Malesian Seed Plants
Kota Kinabalu 2015. Very well illustrated pp x 278 a very good new copy. Malesia is the botanical region comprising Brunei Darussalam Indonesia Malaysia Papua New Guinea the Philippines Singapore and Timor Leste. The seed plants of this biologically super-rich region probably include over 41000 species which botanical work seeks to discover and document. The process of getting to understand plant life and planning appropriate strategies for both utilisation and conservation depends in a very fundamental way on first knowing its components and being able to identify plant families genera and species. While the technical expertise for plant taxonomy may be highly specialised the use of spot-characters - features of the plants that may be characteristic for a species alliance or group and which may be constant enough to rely on for identification - can often help. Here the authors have compiled lists of seed plants for as many as 119 spot-characters that they have found useful in their work on identification as an additional tool in our arsenal for tracking down the identities of Malesian seed plants. The characters range from growth form and vegetative characters such as stem and branch characteristics and leaf arrangement as well as a range of features of inflorescences flowers fruits and seeds. This book should be useful for students foresters botanists and anyone who seeks to identify and know the seed plants of Malesia. It emphasises characters that are found on herbarium specimens dried plant material routinely preserved to form the herbariums scientific archive many of which are also easily observable in fresh material but includes a number of commonly noted "field characters" found only in the living plant but which collectors commonly mention in their collecting labels as well. Most of the characters are illustrated by photographs. First Edition. Paperback. New. Paperback

The Ultramafic Flora of Sabah - an introduction to the plant diversity on ultramafic soils
Kota Kinabalu 2014. Extremely well illustrated small 8vo pp x 251 a very good new copy in dustwrapper. With over 3500 km2 of ultramafic rock outcrops in Sabah 4.6% of the total landmass of the state Malaysia has one of the largest surface expressions of ultramafic rock and one of the most species-rich floras occupying these outcrops in the world. Ultramafic rock occupies < 1% of the land surface of the earth and these outcrops are renowned as centres of high plant diversity supporting high levels of plant endemism. Over 1500 plant species have been documented on ultramafic outcrops around Mount Kinabalu of which a large percentage is endemic to either Mount Kinabalu or Borneo. Sabah is thus recognized as a major locus of floral diversity on ultramafic outcrops but the full plant diversity and ecology remains largely unknown due to a lack of focused research. Biodiversity in many areas of Sabah is severely threatened by land use conversion and because many plant species only occur in a single or a few ultramafic sites impacts on the ecosystems that support them could result in their extinction.

The CO2 Commission stimulates and coordinates a broad range of research projects related to the greenhouse effect. This is reflected in the scope of papers presented ranging from detailed analyses of ecological and physiological effects of atmospheric CO2 enrichment to biosphere-atmosphere aspects such as regional evaporation energy balance and ecosystem responses. Relevant directions for future research are indicated by presentations on carbon fluxes in the soil secondary plant metabolism and plant-insect interactions. Pictorial laminated boards. As New.

Trinius, Carl Bernhard & Ruprecht, Franz Josef
Species Graminum Stipaceorum. Gramina Agrostidea III - Callus Obconica Stipacea
Leningrad 1842. RARE. Small quarto pp 189 contemporary mottled boards lacking the backstrip. Duplicate formed from the fusion of the Boissier/Candolle libraries. C.E. Hubbard's copy. Hubbard was the dean of the British agrostologists with an encyclopedic knowledge of the world's grasses. He did not follow the increasingly popular view of recognizing four to six subfamilies by listing only two Festucoideae and Panicoideae and 27 tribes. Trinius prepared a summary of grass classification and synonymy in which he listed 2457 species along with their author and place of publication - this was a cornerstone of modern grass taxonomy. First Edition. Boards. Good. Hardcover
