Botanicum

Product Information

Kā arī par kādu augu daudz botāniskas un interesantas informācijas un tad par nākamo - "augs ir zaļš" 😉 Bet kopumā ļoti forši. Saturā gribētos vairāk par Latvijas dabu vai kaut kādas savilktas saiknes ar Latviju, tad to varētu plašāk izmantot jau ar mazāku bērnu, bet laikam jau nevar gribēt visu. Her work plays with the ideas of scientific uncertainty and speculation, fabricating the inner and outer workings of the world.

Botanicum (Welcome To The Museum) - Kindle edition by Willis Botanicum (Welcome To The Museum) - Kindle edition by Willis

Czytałam tony książek o roślinach i zwierzętach, z zapartym tchem oglądałam "Zwierzęta świata", a w "Poradniku weterynaryjnym" mojego dziadka miałam pozaznaczane ulubione fragmenty (wąglik, wścieklizna i te sprawy). The "Welcome to the Museum" series includes Welcome to the Museum: Historium, Animalium, and now Botanicum (probably my favorite because I love to draw plants).

Unusually for a non-fiction tome, Botanicum makes brilliant use of white space to ensure that the reader doesn’t feel like they need a magnifying monocle to read the text. The book covers a wide range of plants, from mosses, fungi and ferns to the giant sequoia, succulents, carnivorous plants, vines and fruit trees.

She previously held the Tasso Leventis Chair of Biodiversity at Oxford and was founding Director of the Biodiversity Institute.

Botanicum - Big Active Botanicum - Big Active

Complete with an index and sources for suggested reading, this dazzling display is ideal for classroom and coffee-table collections, budding botanists and curious kids, and everywhere—and everyone—in between. Kathy Willis's illustrations are eye-popping and wonderfully huge in this oversize book -- I especially love the double-page "Tree of Life" spread. And because it is written for younger readers, the science of plants is explained simply and powerfully. The text page is a third to half about whatever the highlighted plant is with the remaining space provides a key to the illustrated plate opposite with a few lines about each species shown. Kathy has published extensively and has authored or co-authored over 100 scientific publications, including the landmark book The Evolution of Plants, now in its second edition.Visually stunning, it’s an engrossing overview of Earth’s remarkable and diverse plant life that provides opportunities for ongoing discovery on every page. Kathy is also Professor of Biodiversity in the Department of Zoology, University of Oxford and an adjunct Professor in Biology at the University of Bergen.
