Excerpt: ...ovary in such a manner that the sepals and petals are attached to its upper part. Such flowers are said to be superior, and the ovary is inferior. In flowers like those of the peach, cherry, blackberry, and bean the calyx is attached to the base of the pistil. These flowers are inferior, and the ovary is superior. Fruits developed from inferior ovaries contain part of the receptacle and calyx. Those developed from superior ovaries do not contain any part of the calyx but may contain a part of the receptacle. The flesh of fleshy fruits is eaten by birds and animals. The seeds are often bitter, and are usually not eaten. If they are they usually pass through the body undigested. The seeds of many berries are scattered over wide areas in this way by birds. In your walks through the country note the large number of plants bearing fleshy fruits that are found along fence rows. How did they get there? The Simple Fleshy Fruits may be discussed under five heads as follows: berry, pepo, hesperidium, pome, and drupe. Berries, botanically speaking, are of two kinds: those that contain part of the calyx; as the gooseberry, currant, huckleberry, and banana; and those that do not contain any part of the calyx; as the tomato, grape, and persimmon. The berry is rather thin skinned, and contains several or many seeds. It is usually a fleshy, compound or many loculed ovary. The pepo occurs in the family Cucurbitace: and includes the following: cucumbers, melons, gourds, squashes, and pumpkins. It results from the development of an inferior ovary; and may be solid as in the watermelon, or hollow as in the muskmelon. The hesperidium is a thick-walled, many-carpelled ovary. Oranges and lemons are examples. Both the pepo and hesperidium are special...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civic Biology: A d104book of Problems, Local and National, That Can Be Solved Only by Civic Cooperation Cooperative good will is the essential idea in civic biology, as it is in the progress of civilization itself. This means that eivio biology consists of all those problems Whose solution requires cooperative effort. In the nature of the case we cannot control many of the forces'of living nature by any amount of uncoordinated individual effort, any more than we can turn back the ocean tides by haphazard sweeping with brooms. The problem of civic biology, therefore, is to make it possible for everyone to know what these forces are, for good or for ill, and to understand how to do his part for his own good and for that of the community. Cooperative build ing of the defenses offers our only hope of success, and our education needs to be so? Organized that every citizen shall know enough to stop a breach the instant he sees it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Inland Waters: An Elementary d104 Book of Fresh-Water Biology for American Students The study of water life, which is today the special province of the science of limnology*, had its beginning in the remote unchronicled past. Limnology is a modern name; but many limnological phenomena were known of old. The congregating of fishes upon their spawning beds, the emergence of swarms of May - flies from the rivers, the cloudlike flight of midges over the marshes, and even the water bloom spreading as a filmy mantle of green over the still surface of the lake such things could not escape the notice of the most casual observer. Two of the plagues of Egypt were limnological phenomena; the plague of frogs, and the plague of the rivers that were turned to blood.

This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: not lie in the conceptual distinctions but in the perceived functions of metaphors and whether in the concrete case they are judged positive or negative. The ongoing debates reflect these concerns quite clearly~ namely that metaphors are judged on the basis of supposed dangers they pose and opportunities they offer. These are the criteria of evaluation that are obviously dependent on the context in which the transfer of meaning occurs. Our fundamental concern is indeed the transfer itself~ its prospects and its limits. Looking at possible functions of metaphors is one approach to under standing and elucidating sentiments about them. The papers in this volume illustrate, by quite different examples, three basic functions of metaphors: illustrative, heuristic~ and constitutive. These functions rep resent different degrees of transfer of meaning. Metaphors are illustrative when they are used primarily as a literary device, to increase the power of conviction of an argument, for example. Although the difference between the illustrative and the heuristic function of metaphors is not great, it does exist: metaphors are used for heuristic purposes whenever "differences" of meaning are employed to open new perspectives and to gain new insights. In the case of "constitutive" metaphors they function to actually replace previous meanings by new ones. Sabine Maasen in her paper introduces the distinction between transfer and transforma tion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some democratic governments succeed and others fail? In a book that has received attention from policymakers and civic activists in America and around the world, Robert Putnam and his collaborators offer empirical evidence for the importance of "civic community" in developing successful institutions. Their focus is on a unique experiment begun in 1970 when Italy created new governments for each of its regions. After spending two decades analyzing the efficacy of these governments in such fields as agriculture, housing, and health services, they reveal patterns of associationism, trust, and cooperation that facilitate good governance and economic prosperity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The winners of the Nobel Prize show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. Figuring out how to deal with today's critical economic problems is perhaps the great challenge of our time. Much greater than space travel or perhaps even the next revolutionary medical breakthrough, what is at stake is the whole idea of the good life as we have known it. Immigration and inequality, globalization and technological disruption, slowing growth and accelerating climate change--these are sources of great anxiety across the world, from New Delhi and Dakar to Paris and Washington, DC. The resources to address these challenges are there--what we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we succeed, history will remember our era with gratitude; if we fail, the potential losses are incalculable. In this revolutionary book, renowned MIT economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo take on this challenge, building on cutting-edge research in economics explained with lucidity and grace. Original, provocative, and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times makes a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. It is an extraordinary achievement, one that shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.

Download or read book Democracy and Education written by John Dewey and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1916 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Download or read book Human Sciences and Human Interests written by Mikael Klintman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-08-05 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the disciplines of social, economic, and evolutionary science, a proud ignorance can often be found of the other areas’ approaches. This text provides a novel intellectual basis for breaking this trend. Certainly, Human Sciences and Human Interests aspires to open a broad debate about what scholars in the different human sciences assume, imply or explicitly claim with regard to human interests. Mikael Klintman draws the reader to the core of human sciences - how they conceive human interests, as well as how interests embedded within each discipline relate to its claims and recommendations. Moreover, by comparing theories as well as concrete examples of research on health and environment through the lenses of social, economic and evolutionary sciences, Klintman outlines an integrative framework for how human interests could be better analysed across all human sciences. This fast-paced and modern contribution to the field is a necessary tool for developing any human scientist’s ability to address multidimensional problems within a rapidly changing society. Avoiding dogmatic reasoning, this interdisciplinary text offers new insights and will be especially relevant to scholars and advanced students within the aforementioned disciplines, as well as those within the fields of social work, social policy, political science and other neighbouring disciplines.

Download or read book The Common Good written by Robert B. Reich and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert B. Reich makes a powerful case for the expansion of America’s moral imagination. Rooting his argument in common sense and everyday reality, he demonstrates that a common good constitutes the very essence of any society or nation. Societies, he says, undergo virtuous cycles that reinforce the common good as well as vicious cycles that undermine it, one of which America has been experiencing for the past five decades. This process can and must be reversed. But first we need to weigh the moral obligations of citizenship and carefully consider how we relate to honor, shame, patriotism, truth, and the meaning of leadership. Powerful, urgent, and utterly vital, this is a heartfelt missive from one of our foremost political thinkers.
