First published in 1976, Professor Corner’s study is a major work of botanical scholarship and reference. The most unsatisfactory part of the classification of dicotyledons is the arrangement of their families into orders. In these volumes the author shows how important the seed is in classification. Systems of ordinal classification based on the flower are potentially misleading in as much as floral similarity is often the effect of polyphyletic convergence. A different system of classification based on the seed is outlined. The work is the result of more than thirty years’ collec

The past decade has been witness to a remarkable resurgence of interest in landscape. While this recovery invokes a return of past traditions and ideas, it also implies renewal, invention, and transformation. Recovering Landscape collects a number of essays that discuss why landscape is gaining increased attention today, and what new possibilities might emerge from this situation. Themes such as reclamation, urbanism, infrastructure, geometry, representation, and temporality are explored in discussions drawn from recent developments not only in the United States but also in the Netherlands, Fr

In Britain, the rise of the radical Right has been expressed in the creation of a market society. "Enterprise" is the term most often used for the official encouragement of the values of this society, where competitive private ownership provides the model for both industrial and domestic life. For the individual, identity emerges with the exercise of choice in the marketplace, and the "right to buy" is celebrated as the guarantee of individual freedom. At the same time, the popularity of the idea of "heritage" signals the invocation of the values and achievements of a mythical and nostalgia-ti
