A chronicle of peasant life during the four seasons of a year.
Pierwsza pełna biografia Wisławy Szymborskiej Wisława Szymborska nie była zachwycona, kiedy dowiedziała się, że Anna Bikont i Joanna Szczęsna piszą o niej książkę. Unikała opowieści o swoim życiu prywatnym, uważając zwierzenia osobiste za coś niestosownego. Autorkom udało się jednak namówić ją na spotkanie, które przerodziło się w niezwykle osobistą podróż, odkrywającą nawet przed nią samą wiele zaskakujących faktów i historii rodzinnych. W cyklu rozmów Poetka w niepowtarzalny i zabawny sposób komentowała etapy swego życia i meandry twórczości. Jej opowieść uzupełniają tutaj wspomnienia przyjaciół oraz subtelne interpretacje wierszy i felietonó...
Asteraceae and Compositae are synonymous; both names for this family are correct. This volume covers the 75 genera and 276 species of the sunflower family native to or naturalized in Ohio. It includes several types of identification keys for specialists and laypeople; maps showing distribution, abundance, and flowering periods, descriptions of each species and its habitat, and very clear drawings. Knowledge of botanical terms is helpful. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
The invasion of the land by plants (terrestrialization) was one of the most significant evolutionary events in the history of life on Earth, and correlates in time with periods of major palaeoenvironmental perturbations. The development of a vegetation cover on the previously barren land surfaces impacted on the global biogeochemical cycles and the geological processes of erosion and sediment transport. The terrestrialization of plants preceded the rise of major new groups of animals, such as insects and tetrapods, the latter numbering some 24 000 living species, including ourselves. Early land-plant evolution also correlates with the most spectacular decline of atmospheric CO2 concentration of Phanerozoic times and with the onset of a protracted period of glacial conditions on Earth. This book includes a selection of papers covering different aspects of the terrestrialization, from palaeobotany to vertebrate palaeontology and geochemistry, promoting a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of the co-evolution of life and its environments during Early to Mid-Palaeozoic times.
