Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
Presenting the exciting accounts of American botanist, ornithologist, and explorer William Bartram's pioneering survey of the American south. Around the time the American colonies were forcibly dismissing the political bands that connected them to England, Bartram was exploring the wilds of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida searching for undiscovered plants and birds. As a result, he combined scientific discoveries with incredibly vivid descriptions of nature and delivered a work that would delight both scientists and poets. These chronicles of his four-year journey to the southern British colonies in America are influential as a scientific work, a historical reference regarding American Indians and the American South, and a contribution to American literature.

William Bartram's Visual Wonders
Author: Elizabeth A. Athens
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822991497
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
Pennsylvania naturalist William Bartram (1739–1823) is best known as the author of a travelogue describing his botanizing journey through the American South in the late eighteenth century. Writing was not, however, Bartram’s only or even preferred method of recording the natural world around him. His deeply unconventional drawings, depicting sentient plants and hybrid organic forms, lie at the heart of his understanding of nature. With this book, Elizabeth Athens considers the strangeness of Bartram’s graphic enterprise, exploring the essential role his renderings played in his natural history. For Bartram, the making and interpretation of figures on a surface was a dynamic and collaborative relationship between nature, the observing artist-naturalist, and the audience. This book offers the first in-depth investigation of Bartram’s drawing practice as central to his understanding of nature. Through an examination of Bartram’s approach to botanical and zoological representation, Athens highlights the struggle between different modes of seeing nature in eighteenth-century Enlightenment science.

Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
An amateur sleuth aids a Maine town plagued by poison in this mystery by Agatha Christie’s favorite American author. With talk of war all over the radio waves, antiquarian book dealer Henry Gamadge is back in Maine, this time by invitation of his friend Detective Mitchell. Mitchell has a real puzzler on his hands: three different children have been poisoned with deadly nightshade, and there is no motive that could possibly link all three poisonings, beside the fact that the children all live in the same small community. Could the nearby encampment of Gypsies be involved? And was the death of a state trooper at about the same time a mere coincidence? Gamadge sets out to separate fact from fiction and find the killer before they strike again . . . “An exciting novel and an excellent mystery.” —San Jose News
