There are gardens for every hydrangea, and hydrangeas for virtually every garden in a temperate climate. This book shows the enormous possibilities offered by hydrangeas as garden shrubs, and helps with the identification of around 80 of the most readily available cultivars. The book is in two sections. In the first chapter the history and natural distribution of hydrangeas are outlined, and the general characteristics described. The 13 species most commonly grown in cultivation are described in detail, with special attention to the naming problems of H. macrophylla cultivars. The chapter on cultivation covers all aspects of care in relation to sun/shade, wind, frost and moisture, and examin...
As with nearly all living creatures, humans have always been attracted and intrigued by floral scents. Yet, while we have been manufacturing perfumes for at least 5000 years to serve a myriad of religious, sexual, and medicinal purposes, until very recently, the limitation of our olfactory faculty has greatly hindered our capacity to clearly and ob
Justice, conflict and wellbeing are large topics that occupy researchers from a variety of disciplines, as well as laypeople and policy makers. The three concepts are closely connected: conflict often (though not always) impairs wellbeing, whereas justice often (though not always) enhances it; perceived injustice is a common source of conflict, at multiple levels and calls for justice are a common response to conflict. In addition, each construct has subtypes, such as distributive and procedural justice, individual and group conflict and physical and psychological wellbeing. Although there are established traditions of research on the topics in multiple disciplines, there is little cross-fer...

This is the second edition of the book first published in 1993 with a title of "The Molecular Biology of Flowering". It expands and updates the current knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of flowering and shows how molecular biology and the opportunities of biotechnology have made major progress when applied to flowering. It includes new chapters and others substantially revised and updated. Topics such as the evolution of flowers, floral senescence and apomixis are included in this new edition. The 13 chapters of this book are presented in the following sections: external and internal regulation of flowering (3 chapters); floral development (6 chapters); and fertilization and gametophyte development (4 chapters). The book is intended for research workers and advanced students in plant molecular biology and developmental biology, from both pure and applied (agricultural and horticultural) perspectives.
"Properties of Matter" is a collection of Web sites for middle school science students. The collection offers links to sites featuring information on such topics as the characteristic properties of matter, mixtures and solutions, and compounds, elements, and chemical reactions. The Smithsonian Institution National Science Resources Center compiled the collection as part of the Science and Technology Concepts for Middle Schools curriculum program.
