They are there as the punishment of `thorns and thistles` in "Genesis" and, two millennia later, as a symbol of "Flanders Field". The author examines how we have tried to define them, explain their persistence, and draw moral lessons from them.

Описание: `Bugs Britannica`, a companion volume to the bestselling classics `Flora Britannica` and `Birds Britannica`, is structured along a roughly evolving path, from simple cell life-forms - amoeba, worms, crustaceans - to bugs we all might recognise - spiders, butterflies, bees - and back into the water to meet molluscs and `almost-fish`. The book works so triumphantly because Peter Marren and Richard Mabey have examined bugs in the dusty corners of our houses and gardens as well as traversing mountains, lakes and fields. In addition to the fascinating habits of the bug world they have also included the eccentric behaviour of the bug obsessives themselves.

Автор: Mabey Richard Название: Cabaret of Plants ISBN: 1861979584 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781861979582 Издательство: Profile Рейтинг: Цена: 11120.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In The Cabaret of Plants, Mabey explores the plant species which have challenged our imaginations, awoken our wonder, and upturned our ideas about history, science, beauty and belief. Picked from every walk of life, they encompass crops, weeds, medicines, religious gathering-places and a water lily named after a queen. Beginning with pagan cults and creation myths, the cultural significance of plants has burst upwards, sprouting into forms as diverse as the panacea (the cure-all plant ginseng, a single root of which can cost up to $10,000), Newton`s apple, the African `vegetable elephant` or boabab - and the mystical, night-flowering Amazonian cactus, the moonflower. Ranging widely across science, art and cultural history, poetry and personal experience, Mabey puts plants centre stage, and reveals a true botanical cabaret, a world of tricksters, shape-shifters and inspired problem-solvers, as well as an enthralled audience of romantics, eccentric amateur scientists and transgressive artists. The Cabaret of Plants celebrates the idea that plants are not simply `the furniture of the planet`, but vital, inventive, individual beings worthy of respect - and that to understand this may be the best way of preserving life together on Earth.

Описание: Indeed, Flora Britannica is the definitive contemporary flora, an encyclopaedia of living folklore, a register - a sort of Domesday Book. It is unique in that it is not a botanical flora but a cultural one - an account of the role of wild plants in social life, arts, custom and landscape.

Описание: Another magnificent achievement, the product of 8 years of research, and a unique work of huge importance - this handsome, easy-to-read, comprehensive cultural study, species by species, of all the birds in Britain is neither an identification guide nor a behavioural study (though both these subjects enter its field). It covers cultural links; social history; ecology; the lore and language of birds; myths; art, literature and music; anecdotes, birdsong and rare facts; migration, the seasons and our sense of place. An attempt to describe the interaction of birds and humans, it captures the essence of why birds matter. Companion volume to `Flora Britannica`.
