Original Green Cloth Hardback. Zustand: Near Fine. First Edition. 2008. xxxii, 248pp. Colour and b&w illustrations. "As a youth in Wisconsin, John Muir faithfully recorded in his journal that the pasque-flower was a hopeful multitude of large, hairy, silky buds about as thick as one's thumb and that lady's slipper orchid in near…by meadows caught the eye of all the European settlers and made them gaze and wonder like children. Muir was blessed early on with a love and aptitude for botany, a field of study that helped him become one of the most influential environmentalists in the world. One realizes, in reading Nature's Beloved Son, how much Muir's successes as adventurer, writer, and environmental advocate were driven by his belief in nature's irresistible, divine beauty. Surprisingly, however, little has been written about John Muir the botanist. Environmental historian Bonnie J. Gisel takes us through Muir's evolving relationship with the natural world, touching on his childhood in Scotland and Wisconsin, his sojourn in Canada, his thousand-mile walk from Louisville, Kentucky, to the Gulf of Mexico, his ecstatic travels in California s Sierra Nevada, and his thrilling exploration of Alaska. Photographer Stephen J. Joseph's breathtaking prints of Muir's botanical specimens and related correspondence are artfully presented in this book and provide the backdrop for the story of Muir's inordinate fondness for plants. With the help of major foundations and generous individuals, Heyday has produced a book of superlative beauty with the highest of printing and design standards, a book worthy of Muir's great spirit and the ineffable beauty of the plant world." The book is in excellent condition. No inscriptions. PLEASE NOTE: Heavy book so extra will be needed for shipping to non-UK customers. Stephen J. Joseph (photography) (illustrator).

Zustand: Fine. xx, 299, col photos. . PB. Fine. From the library of British hymenopterist, Chris O'Toole, with inscription to him from the first author, Gordon Frankie, 'Thanks for all your inspiring bee work over many years. Your books, booklets, DVDs are required reading and viewing in my Berkeley lab. .'. California is home t…o over sixteen hundred species of wild bees - most of them native - that populate and pollinate gardens, fields, and urban green spaces. In this absorbing guidebook, some of the state's preeminent bee and botany experts introduce us to this diverse population. The book holds a magnifying glass up to the twenty-two most common genera (and six species of cuckoo bees), describing each one's distinctive behaviors, social structures, flight season, preferred flowers, and enemies. Drawing from years of research at the UC Berkeley Urban Bee Lab, the book presents an authoritative look at these creatures, emphasizing their vital relationship with flowers. Also provides information on fifty-three bee-friendly plants and how to grow them. Just a few square feet of poppies, sage, and phacelia are enough to sustain a healthy population of wild bees, transforming an urban or suburban garden into a world that hums and buzzes with life.
