A Comparison Of The Minute Structure Of Plant Hybrids With That Of Their Parents, And Its Bearing On Biological Problems (1892)

""A Comparison Of The Minute Structure Of Plant Hybrids With That Of Their Parents, And Its Bearing On Biological Problems"" is a book written by John Muirhead Macfarlane, first published in 1892. The book focuses on the study of plant hybrids and their minute structures, comparing them with those of their parent plants. Macfarlane explores the implications of these comparisons for biological problems, such as the nature of heredity and the mechanisms of evolution. He also discusses the significance of his findings for the practical applications of plant breeding and agriculture. The book is written in a scientific and technical style, with detailed descriptions of plant structures and terminology. It is a valuable resource for botanists, geneticists, and anyone interested in the study of plant biology and evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf

It is in A Thousand-Mile Walk to the Gulf that we are given clues towards John Muir’s future trailblazing movement for environmental conservation, and teaches us as much about Muir himself as it does the ecosystems in the wilderness across those 1,000 miles.

Sierra Wildflowers

"From sprawling fields of showy hillside poppies, lupines, and paintbrushes in the foothills to orchids, lilies, and primroses in the higher meadows of our national parks, the Sierra Nevada is one of the premier wildflower destinations in California. Naturalist John Muir Laws has adapted his painted-from-life flower illustrations from The Laws Field Guide to the Sierra Nevada into a lightweight yet durable guidebook to the area's florae. Sierra Wildflowers includes the most common species that you will encounter, with fully updated common and scientific names. Flowers are organized by color and shape, making identification easy for flower enthusiasts of all experience levels."--
