Book Description
Excerpt from Companion to the Botanical Magazine, 1836, Vol. 2: Being a Journal, Containing Such Interesting Botanical Information as Does Not Come Within the Prescribed Limits of the Magazine; With Occasional Figures Dionea muscipula (the Carolina fly-trap). This interesting plant, now common in all the gardens of the curious, but long supposed to be confined in its native country to almost a single habitat, is thus mentioned by Mr. M. A. Curtis, in his Enumeration of the plants growing Spontaneously around Wilmington, in North Carolina, The Dioncea muscipula is found as far North as Newbem, North Carolina, and from the mouth of Cape Fear River nearly to Fayetteville. Elliott says, on the authority of General Pinckney, that it grows along the lower branches of the Santee, in South Carolina, and I think it is not improbable that it inhabits the Se vannahs more or less abundantly from the latter place to Newbem. It is found in great plenty for many miles around Wil mingtou, in every direction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Correspondence of Charles Darwin: Volume 2, 1837-1843
Author: Charles DarwinPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521255882
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
This is the second volume of the complete edition of The Correspondence of Charles Darwin. For the first time full authoritative texts of Darwin's letters are available, edited according to modern textual editorial principles and practice. The letters in this volume were written during the seven years following Darwin's return to England from the Beagle voyage. It was a period of extraordinary activity and productivity in which he became recognised as a naturalist of outstanding ability, as an author and editor, and as a professional man with official responsibilities in several scientific organisations. During these years he published two books and fifteen papers and also organised and superintended the publication of the Zoology of the Voyage of HMS Beagle, for which he described the locations of the fossils and the habitats and behaviour of the living species he had collected. Busy as he was with scientific activities, Darwin found time to re-establish family ties and friendships, and to make new friends among the naturalists with whom his work brought him into close contact. In November 1838, two years after his return Darwin became engaged to his cousin, Emma Wedgwood, whom he subsequently married.

David Douglas
Author: Jack NisbetPublisher: Sasquatch Books
ISBN: 1570618291
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
During a meteoric career that spanned from 1825 to 1834, David Douglas made the first systematic collections of flora and fauna over many parts of the greater Pacific Northwest. Despite his early death, colleagues in Great Britain attached the Douglas name to more than 80 different species, including the iconic timber tree of the region. David Douglas, a Naturalist at Work is a colorfully illustrated collection of essays that examines various aspects of Douglas's career, demonstrating the connections between his work in the Pacific Northwest of the 19th century and the place we know today. From the Columbia River's perilous bar to luminous blooms of mountain wildflowers; from ever-changing frontiers of technology to the quiet seasonal rhythms of tribal families gathering roots, these essays collapse time to shed light on people and landscapes. This volume is the companion book to a major museum exhibit about Douglas's Pacific Northwest travels that will open at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture in Spokane in September 2012.
