Floral Diagrams
Floral morphology remains the cornerstone for plant identification and studies of plant evolution. This guide gives a global overview of the floral diversity of the angiosperms through the use of detailed floral diagrams. These schematic diagrams replace long descriptions or complicated drawings as a tool for understanding floral structure and evolution. They show important features of flowers, such as the relative positions of the different organs, their fusion, symmetry, and structural details. The relevance of the diagrams is discussed, and pertinent evolutionary trends are illustrated. The range of plant species represented reflects the most recent classification of flowering plants based mainly on molecular data, which is expected to remain stable in the future. This book is invaluable for researchers and students working on plant structure, development and systematics, as well as being an important resource for plant ecologists, evolutionary botanists and horticulturists.
Flowers on the Tree of Life
Genetic and molecular studies have recently come to dominate botanical research at the expense of more traditional morphological approaches. This broad introduction to modern flower systematics demonstrates the great potential that floral morphology has to complement molecular data in phylogenetic and evolutionary investigations. Contributions from experts in floral morphology and evolution take the reader through examples of how flowers have diversified in a large variety of lineages of extant and fossil flowering plants. They explore angiosperm origins and the early evolution of flowers and analyse the significance of morphological characters for phylogenetic reconstructions on the tree of life. The importance of integrating morphology into modern botanical research is highlighted through case studies exploring specific plant groups where morphological investigations are having a major impact. Examples include the clarification of phylogenetic relationships and understanding the significance and evolution of specific floral characters, such as pollination mechanisms and stamen and carpel numbers.

Albert De Haene (1910-1961) en Hubert Ronse (1928-2010). Honderd jaar Psychiatrisch Ziekenhuis Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Brugge (1910-2010)
Het Psychiatrisch Ziekenhuis Onze-Lieve-Vrouw in Brugge bestaat ruim 100 jaar. Naar aanleiding van de viering van het 100-jarig bestaan in 2010, ging de auteur op zoek naar de voorgeschiedenis van de opvang van ‘geesteskranken’ in Brugge. De lezer wordt meegenomen tot in de twaalfde eeuw. Daarna volgt de geschiedenis van 100 jaar Psychiatrisch Ziekenhuis Onze-Lieve-Vrouw Brugge (1910-2010) en de kennismaking met twee eminente hoofdgeneesheren van deze instelling: Albert De Haene (1910-1961) en Hubert Ronse (1928-2010). Hun biografie wordt verweven met de geschiedenis van de instelling. Ook de professionele activiteiten van de twee psychiaters buiten het ziekenhuis komen aan bod. Drie biografieën dus in één, met aandacht voor de historische context van de drie levensverhalen.
