Book Synopsis Land of Plants in Motion by : Thomas R. H. Havens
Download or read book Land of Plants in Motion written by Thomas R. H. Havens and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land of Plants in Motion is the first in any language to examine two companion stories: (1) the rise of an East Asian floristic zone and how the Japanese islands evolved an astonishing wealth of plant species, and (2) the growth of Japanese botanical sciences. The majority of plant species regarded as “Japanese” trace their origins to western China and the eastern Himalaya but are so indigenized that they often seem native today. Early modern scientists in Japan drew on knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine but achieved distinctive insights into plant life commensurate with but separate from their European counterparts. Scholars at the University of Tokyo pioneered Japanese plant biology in the late nineteenth century. They incorporated Western botanical methods but sought a degree of difference in taxonomy while also gaining international legitimacy through publications in English. Japan’s age of empire (1895–1945) was less about plant exploration and more about plant collection, for both scientific and economic benefits. Displays of species from throughout the empire made Japan’s sphere of colonization and conquest visible at home. The infrastructure for research and instruction expanded slowly after World War Two: new laboratories, botanical gardens, scholarly societies, and publications eventually allowed for great diversity of specialized study, especially with the growth of molecular biology in the 1970s and DNA research in the 1980s. Basic research was harmed by cuts in government funding during 2012–2017, but Japanese plant biologists continue to enjoy international esteem in many fields of scholarship.

Book Synopsis Enhance Your Garden with Japanese Plants by : Judy Glattstein
Download or read book Enhance Your Garden with Japanese Plants written by Judy Glattstein and published by Kodansha. This book was released on 1996 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Azalea, flowering cherry, peony, lily, pachysandra...For centuries Japan has been the source of some of the most popular and commonplace plants in our gardens. Yet before now there existed no general guide to the great wealth and variety of Japanese plants readily available in North America. Here at last is everything you need to know about how to select and maintain Japanese plants and a list of nurseries across the United States from which you can easily obtain them. Judy Glattstein, a bestselling garden book writer, has found out which plants will thrive in New England and which in New Mexico, which plants will survive city windowboxes and which the wilds of suburban backyards. Included are chapters on groundcovers, vines, trees, and shrubs, as well as perennials, and alpine and water plants. In-depth descriptions of the plants are accompanied by 34 color photographs and 33 black-and-white botanical illustrations. Glattstein's advice on plant selection and care is clear enough to help the novice and detailed enough to satisfy expert gardeners. Whatever style of garden you choose, there are plants from Japan - both well known and exotic - that will be right for you.
