This 2001 book provides a selective annotated bibliography of the principal floras and related works of inventory for vascular plants. The second edition was completely updated and expanded to take into account the substantial literature of the late twentieth century, and features a more fully developed review of the history of floristic documentation. The works covered are principally specialist publications such as floras, checklists, distribution atlases, systematic iconographies and enumerations or catalogues, although a relatively few more popularly oriented books are also included. The Guide is organised in ten geographical divisions, with these successively divided into regions and units, each of which is prefaced with a historical review of floristic studies. In addition to the bibliography, the book includes general chapters on botanical bibliography, the history of floras, and general principles and current trends, plus an appendix on bibliographic searching, a lexicon of serial abbreviations, and author and geographical indexes.
Annotated selected list of floras and floristic works relating to vascular plants, including bibliographies and publications dealing with useful plants and vernacular names.
Realizado con un enfoque didáctico, este libro recoge abundante material gráfico inédito, destacando el elevado número de esquemas y de cuadros de síntesis, que facilitan la comprensión de los contenidos en los apartados de mayor complejidad. Entre las numerosas fotografías son frecuentes las imágenes de minerales a diversas escalas, abarcando desde su aspecto en la cantera hasta su imagen obtenida mediante microscopía electrónica, lo que introduce al lector en el contexto geológico y en el reconocimiento de morfologías y tamaños, características estas últimas responsables de muchas propiedades fisicoquímicas de gran interés en la Mineralogía Aplicada. Son asimismo frecuentes en el libro, esquemas y fotografías que ilustran la relación tanto beneficios como perjudicial de los minerales con la salud y el medio ambiente.
