Plant Life Of Kentucky: An Illustrated Guide To The Vascular Flora

Book Description

Plant Life of Kentucky is the first comprehensive account of the native and naturalized ferns, flowering herbs, and woody plants of Kentucky.

Ronald L. Jones has compiled detailed identification keys to families, genera, and species. The plant family descriptions contain information on wildlife and human uses, important weeds, poisonous plants, and medicinal herbs, and the species accounts provide scientific and common names, flowering periods, habitat, physiographic distribution, state and federal designations, and wetland ranking. A total of 179 families, 856 genera, and 2,600 species and infraspecific taxa are included, and nearly 2,000 line drawings illustrate the volume.

The extensive introduction includes information on a variety of topics, including the history of the flora, vegetation types, and current conservation issues.

Plant Life of Kentucky is an authoritative, accessible guide to Kentucky's flora, and an indispensable resource for students, teachers, researchers, wildlife biologists, farmers, county agents, amateur naturalists, land planners, environmental consultants, foresters, and conservationists.

Customer Reviews:

An excellent introduction and good comprehensive key to Kentucky plant life..........2006-11-04

Jones' book is a much needed contemporary and comprehensive volume to the vascular flora of Kentucky. But be warned, the keys focus mainly on the reproductive stages for identification and the illustrations are somewhat vague. The book has an excellent first hundred or so pages which introduces the history of floristic botany and conservation in Kentucky, the state's physiographic conditions, and different habitats and plant communities. The book also contains an extensive glossary (a big help). All together a valuable addition to the professional or amateur botanist's library.

Dordogne and the Lot.......2007-09-29

Since we discovered Cadogan guides, they are the only books we carry. The Dordogne/Lot guide is no exception. All the "must see" sights are included, but the deliciously juicy historical notes make for lively reading and an insider feel to the past. Good recommendations for lodging and dining, and writing that both educates and entertains. The authors include information on prehistoric sites - an area overlooked by other guides.

Book Description

In this innovative study, Christopher Heppner constructs a new assessment and interpretation of William Blake as an illustrator of texts that were not his own. Ranging over topics such as Blake's depiction of human figures, his handling of gesture and perspective, and the relationship with Michelangelo, Heppner considers how they are brought to bear on the 1795 color prints, the illustrations to Young's Night Thoughts and to the Bible. A large number of illustrations, including color plates, illuminates this new interpretation of a complex artist.
