A highly illustrated and portable identification guide to the most common wild flowers and other plants This innovative photographic guide covers the most common wild flowers and other plants found in Britain and Ireland, as defined by the very latest distribution maps. It is designed so that anyone faced with an unfamiliar wild plant can confidently put a name to the species or recognise that it is a less common plant needing further investigation. The identification process is based on standard botanical features that are straightforwardly described, clearly illustrated and supported by a simple visual key to families. This book can be your springboard into the wider world of botanical identification, wherever you are, and of plants both common and rare.

The chemical study of insects has been growing for four decades, and with it an interest in how insects make their pheromones, hormones, defensive secretions, venoms, pigments and surface coverings. By investigating the biosynthesis of insects, one can gain a greater insight into the structure and function of insect compounds, into ways of disrupting biosynthetic reactions in pest species and how these pathways evolved. The first textbook of its kind, Biosynthesis in Insects amalgamates previously fragmented information and recent exciting developments in the field to provide a unique, concise chemical study of how insect substances are biosynthesised. This book provides a comprehensive intr...

Fortællingen om MATAS er et stykke danmarkshistorie i striber og farver om en virksomhed, som danskerne har et nært forhold til. Gennem 75 år har generationer af mænd og kvinder over hele landet handlet og arbejdet i deres lokale, ofte familiedrevne materialhandel. Vi får historien om de berømte striber og den unikke beretning om en virksomhed, der tidligt uddanner kvinder til handel, drift og ledelse. Matas er grundlagt i 1949 af en række foretagsomme materialister - alle mænd. I dag er butikkerne i overvejende grad drevet og ledet af kvinder. Den stribede danmarkshistorie er samtidig et strejftog gennem Matas’ mange varer, der spænder fra citronsyre over high-end-kosmetik og helseprodukter til sexlegetøj. I dag er Matas Danmarks største detailkæde og har en medlemsklub, der tæller mere end 1,8 millioner danskere. Og 99 % af alle danske kvinder har kendskab til kædens varer. Bogen er rigt illustreret med farverige reklamer, plakater, tegninger og fotos fra danmarkshistorien fra 1940'erne og frem til i dag.
The book charts an extraordinary period in Danish history: the "Press Freedom Period" of 1770-73, in which King Christian 7's physician J.F. Struensee introduced a series of radical enlightenment reforms beginning with the total abolishment of censorship. The book investigates the sudden avalanche of pamphlets and debates, initiating the modern public sphere of Denmark-Norway. Publications show a surprising variety, from serious political, economic, and philosophical treatises over criticism, polemics, ridicule, entertainment, and to spin campaigns, obscenities, libel, threats. A successful coup against Struensee led to his subsequent public execution in Copenhagen, and the latter half of th...
Mange dyre-, svampe- og plantearter er i fare for at forsvinde fra den danske natur. I Danmark har eksperter vurderet arternes risiko for at uddø ─ kaldet en rødlistevurdering ─ i perioden 2003-2010. Resultatet er præsenteret i Danmarks truede arter. Rødlistevurderingen viser, at det især er de kræsne arter, der er truede ─ arter som stiller krav til levested eller fødekilde. Bogen præsenterer resultatet af rødlistevurderingen og giver eksempler på udvalgte arters levevis og levested. Fokus rettes mod nogle af de levesteder, der huser eller har huset mange af de truede arter. Disse levesteder forringes eller forsvinder ─ og med dem de arter, der specifikt er knyttet hertil....
