Book excerpt: A captivating history of one of the world's most iconic and mysterious flowers Bewitched by a lotus which flowered from three-thousandyear- old seeds in his English garden, Mark Griffiths set out to track the origins and significance of this sublime plant in this beautifully-illustrated book. The Lotus Quest takes Griffiths from the headquarters of the Linnaean Society in London to a mountain top in northern Japan. As he travels in search of this ancient flower, Griffiths looks at the lotus's significance in ancient Egypt and India, the plant's medicinal uses and the inspiration it has provided to Western artists. As he tracks the plant, its story unveils a stunning vision of Japan's feudal era with visits to shrines, ruins, gardens and wild landscapes as well as meetings with priests and archaeologists, philosophers and anthropologists, gardeners and botanists, poets and artists. He even dines on the lotus in a Tokyo cafe. By the end of Griffiths' journey, when he reaches the hauntingly beautiful Japanese temple of Chuson-ji, readers will finally understand why the lotus has obsessed people throughout the ages.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passionate Quest Their efforts at conversation seemed temporarily ex pended - or perhaps the exertion of climbing the last hundred yards of the hill kept them a little breathless. The girl, as they drew nearer the stretch of wood to wards which they were bound, moved her head from side to side as though asking for the caress of the west wind, which came to them now with a. Sweeter and fresher qual ity. Her companion paused to tear a little cluster of wild roses from the hedge. The girl accepted them, looked into the petals for a moment and then flung them to the ground. Smuts she exclaimed. Even the flowers are black ened! One can't escape, even here, from the filth of that hateful town. The young man looked down regretfully at the blossom which her foot had crushed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Soul's Quest: And Other Poems As I have wandered thro' the fields of life Gay, happy fields, bright with the sun and sky Flower after flower Has bloomed beside my path And I have gathered them, a long-loved handful, Which I offer now To the unpitying, cruel-laughing world. And some are gay, Sparkling with joy and the bright sun of hope And some are sad, Dipped in the crimson of the setting sun, Or blasted by the cold of winter winds But all the roots Are down, far down, within the spirit's depths, Amid the voiceless shadows of the soul, And each has sprung From the warm life-blood throbbing in my heart.

Book Synopsis The Burgess Flower Book for Children (Classic Reprint) by : Thornton Waldo Burgess
Download or read book The Burgess Flower Book for Children (Classic Reprint) written by Thornton Waldo Burgess and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Burgess Flower Book for Children Because of the story method of treatment, and also because of the limited vocabulary of the little child, the use of scientific names and even the names of most Of the parts of plants and flowers, save in the appendix for older people, has been avoided. This necessarily prevents that accuracy of description which the adult may desire. The vast number of flowers, which is America's rich heritage, makes it impossible to describe within the confines of a volume of this size more than a limited number. NO small part of the task was the selection of theflowers to be included. Most of them were chosen because of their wide distribution. For the most part, only the commoner flowers, those most likely to be encountered in walks in field, meadow and woodland, have been chosen. A few of the rarer ones have been included because of their beauty, and the hope that the desire to find these may act as a stimulant to interest.

Download or read book Herbarium written by Barbara M. Thiers and published by Timber Press. This book was released on 2020-12-08 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A treasury like no other Since the 1500s, scientists have documented the plants and fungi that grew around them, organizing the specimens into collections. Known as herbaria, these archives helped give rise to botany as its own scientific endeavor. Herbarium is a fascinating enquiry into this unique field of plant biology, exploring how herbaria emerged and have changed over time, who promoted and contributed to them, and why they remain such an important source of data for their new role: understanding how the world’s flora is changing. Barbara Thiers, director of the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium at the New York Botanical Garden, also explains how recent innovations that allow us to see things at both the molecular level and on a global scale can be applied to herbaria specimens, helping us address some of the most critical problems facing the world today. At its heart, Herbarium is a compelling reminder of one of humanity’s better impulses: to save things—not just for ourselves, but for generations to come.
