Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. No signatures. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover. A nice copy of this title.; 272 pages. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering on spine, blind-stamped lettering on front board. Page dimensions: 252 x 189mm. Numerous beautiful colour photographic illustrations, some black and white historical photographic illustrations. The author was a botanist and spent 9 years working on a botany of Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), first visiting the country in 1996. The author also writes about and quotes from Frank Kingdon-Ward, who was also a botanical explorer of Burma in the early-mid 20th century. "Dr. Kress explored many areas in this enigmatic country, surveying its teak forests, bamboo thickets, timber plantations, rivers, and mangroves to document its incredible botanical diversity. Myanmar is one of the great biodiversity "hot spots" in Asia, but because of its social isolation and reputation for political repression it has been closed to or avoided by many scientists. Nevertheless, Dr. Kress was determined to search for and record plants that had not been studied since they were first discovered by Western botanists over a century ago. Among the rarities he came upon was a new species of plant called "the weeping goldsmith," a ginger flower whose Burmese name was derived from the legend that the local goldsmiths were reduced to tears because none of their own creations could rival its exquisiteness. Dr. Kress also relates how he came to appreciate the people and culture of Myanmar through an understanding of their flora, natural habitats, and human-dominated environments. Included are fascinating excerpts from his field journals that serve as counterpoints to the accounts of earlier plant explorers. Illustrating the text are some 200 of Dr. Kress's own color photographs of the incredible plants, people, landscapes, and temples he witnessed in his travels as well as 30 archival images of Burma taken by past explorers. The back matter features an illustrated portfolio of representative native plants. This lively armchair exploration should appeal to a general readership as well as to botanists, conservationists, and environmentalists." With a two page Foreword by Wade Davis. Artikel-Nr. 24907
