Download or read book Plant Lore, Legends, and Lyrics written by Richard Folkard and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant Lore, Legends, and Lyrics is a study and encyclopedia of plants with a difference: all flora in this book are paired with the famous myths and folklore they are associated with. Richard Folkard wrote his unique thesis in order to organize and present many legends and folk stories with the plants to whom they are associated. The correlations between the attributes of these old stories, and the plants themselves, are meticulously examined over the course of sixteen chapters. This book is characterized by a bold eclecticism, wherein flora in folklore is examined and interpreted from multiple angles. Folkard aptly begins with the Biblical story of the Garden of Eden, noting how plants acquired significance in mythology during earliest antiquity. The significance which the ancients applied to the plants they encountered, in particular the phenomena of the sacred trees and groves, are greatly expounded upon. We are also told how early naturalists connected certain plants to animals, providing a fertile ground from which mythic lore could root. Mythic creatures as diverse as wood nymphs, fairies, naiades and witches feature in Folkard's inquiry. The continuing significance of these mythic entities, and their relation to flora, is encapsulated in quoted verse which succinctly captures their essence and purpose. Furthermore, Folkard discusses at length how the natural world became inextricably linked with the paganism and polytheism of the ancient world, as well as to early healing and folk remedies. The second half of the book is an encyclopedia of plants, arranged alphabetically. Designed for ease of reference, this lengthy list contains poetic references to mythic lore, as well as the physical and botanic characteristics of these plants. Their introduction to different locales, and the myths in which they feature most prominently, make this encyclopedic portion a wealth of assembled knowledge. A unique melding of scientific knowledge with folklore and wisdom, Plant Lore, Legends, and Lyrics is as valuable a source on its topic today as when it first appeared in the 1880s. Richard Folkard took great pride in his work, personally presenting it to Queen Victoria for the Royal Collection in 1884; an era in which the English interest in plants blossomed with the introduction of greenhouses as both public works and private projects. This new edition of Plant Lore, Legends, and Lyrics is presented with all of the original illustrations and diagrams first appended by Folkard.

Download or read book Garden Flora written by Noel Kingsbury and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautifully illustrated reference book covers the origins, ecology and history of popular garden plants.” —Shelf Awareness The oldest rose fossil was found in Colorado and dates to 35 million years ago. Marigolds, infamous for their ability to self-seed, are named for an Etruscan god who sprang from a ploughed field. And daffodils—an icon of spring—were introduced to Britain by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago. Every garden plant has an origination story, and Garden Flora, by noted garden designer Noel Kingsbury, shares them in a beautifully compelling way. This lushly illustrated survey of 133 of the most commonly grown plants explains where each plant came from and the journey it took into home gardens. Kingsbury tells intriguing tales of the most important plant hunters, breeders, and gardeners throughout history, and explores the unexpected ways plants have been used. Richly illustrated with an eclectic mix of new and historical photos, botanical art, and vintage seed packets and catalogs, Garden Flora is a must-have reference for every gardener and plant lover.
Book Synopsis Physiological and Molecular Characterization of Crop Resistance to Abiotic Stresses by : Monica Boscaiu
Download or read book Physiological and Molecular Characterization of Crop Resistance to Abiotic Stresses written by Monica Boscaiu and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-02 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abiotic stress represents the main constraint for agriculture, affecting plant growth and productivity worldwide. Yield losses in agriculture will be potentiated in the future by global warming, increasing contamination, and reduced availability of fertile land. The challenge for agriculture of the present and future is that of increasing the food supply for a continuously growing human population under environmental conditions that are deteriorating in many areas of the world. Minimizing the effects of diverse types of abiotic stresses represents a matter of general concern. Research on all topics related to abiotic stress tolerance, from understanding the stress response mechanisms of plants to developing cultivars and crops tolerant to stress, is a priority. This Special Issue is focused on the physiological and molecular characterization of crop resistance to abiotic stresses, including novel research, reviews, and opinion articles covering all aspects of the responses and mechanisms of plant tolerance to abiotic. Contributions on physiological, biochemical, and molecular studies of crop responses to abiotic stresses; the description and role of stress-responsive genes; marker-assisted screening of stress-tolerant genotypes; genetic engineering; and other biotechnological approaches to improve crop tolerance were considered.
Book Synopsis The Mythology of Plants by : Annette Giesecke
Download or read book The Mythology of Plants written by Annette Giesecke and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This engaging book focuses on the perennially fascinating topic of plants in Greek and Roman myth. The author, an authority on the gardens, art, and literature of the classical world, introduces the book’s main themes with a discussion of gods and heroes in ancient Greek and Roman gardens. The following chapters recount the everyday uses and broader cultural meaning of plants with particularly strong mythological associations. These include common garden plants such as narcissus and hyacinth; pomegranate and apple , which were potent symbols of fertility; and sources of precious incense including frankincense and myrrh. Following the sweeping botanical commentary are the myths themselves, told in the original voice of Ovid, classical antiquity’s most colorful mythographer. The volume’s interdisciplinary approach will appeal to a wide audience, ranging from readers interested in archaeology, classical literature, and ancient history to garden enthusiasts. With an original translation of selections from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, an extensive bibliography, a useful glossary of names and places, and a rich selection of images including exquisite botanical illustrations, this book is unparalleled in scope and realization.

Book Synopsis An Encyclopaedia of Occultism by : Lewis Spence
Download or read book An Encyclopaedia of Occultism written by Lewis Spence and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2006-09-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This "compendium of information on the occult sciences, occult personalities, psychic science, demonology, spiritism, and mysticism" was one of a kind when it was first published in 1920 and is still considered the best in its field today. Spence organizes a world's worth of magic -- from "Ab" (a magical month in the ancient Semitic calendar) to "Zulu witch-finders" -- into 2,500 dictionary-style entries that explore concepts and personalities both familiar (Freemasonry, Morgan le Fay) and obscure: palingenesy (a process by which plants or vegetables are destroyed and then "resurrected"), Leonora Galigai (a 17th-century Italian aristocrat who was burned as a witch). A delight for devotees of the weird and the strange, and a valuable resource for students of mythology and the evolution of scientific thought, this important volume is at home in the libraries of all book lovers. Scottish journalist and folklorist LEWIS SPENCE (1874 -1955) was a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, and Vice-President of the Scottish Anthropological and Folklore Society. He published more than 40 works on mythology and the occult, including History of Atlantis, An Introduction to Mythology, and Myth and Ritual in Dance, Game and Rhyme.
