Bibliography. Charles Robert Darwin is a polarizing personality. To some, he is one of the most famous naturalists in the history of mankind; to others he is The Devil's Cousin. No matter how people view Charles Darwin, it is remarkable that very few know who Darwin really was, what he achieved, when, how, and why. But Darwin was the man who put together a theory that was to shake the foundations of mankind's understanding of this world. Thus, no matter whether one considers Darwin a great scientist or a relative of Beelzebub, it remains interesting to know about the man, his life, and his work. Prof. Braem, a biologist and historian of science, begins by investigating Charles Darwin's family and shows that Darwin's grandfather Erasmus, a famous physician and poet, as well as his father and several other members of the Darwin family, had a keen interest in scientific matters. But he also shows that Darwin's road to naturalism was characterized by detours and surprises. After growing up in a wealthy family, Darwin ended up at the University in Edinburgh where he was, as decided by his authoritarian but revered father, to study medicine. Finally, Charles attended Cambridge to become a country parson; just by chance he sailed on HMS Beagle, a small battleship converted to survey the coasts of South America, as the table companion for Robert Fitz Roy, a brilliant young navy commander with royal genes and depressive tendencies. Nearly five years of exploration made young Darwin become a naturalist, first favouring geology but soon turning to biology and the question of the variability of species and thus evolution. For that, Charles Darwin will be famous as long as man walks this planet. Braem discusses every aspect of Charles Darwin's provenance and education, his luck to be on HMS Beagle, the long and not always easy route to his famous Origin of Species, his battle with religion and belief, and his life-long insecurity and enigmatic illness. The origin of species, although without any doubt Darwin's masterpiece, would not be the end of his work, and for more than 20 years after its publication, Darwin would write about the pollination of orchids, the variation in plants, the origin of man, and the expression of emotions, all aspects that were fundamental pillars for the proof of his theory. But Braem's book is a critical biography: it addresses Darwin's errors, and some of the myths surrounding the British savant. These are stories that are spread around in the secondary literature and the textbooks of biology to this day. And it discusses the tightrope walk of a Victorian revolutionary in disguise. Darwin- The Power of Observation and Reflection is the most complete biography of one of Britain's and the world's foremost scientists and enigmatic characters. It is a masterful outline of life and science in Victorian times, of the need for h. …

Hardcover. Condition: New. Contents: Introduction. I. General Section: 1. Introduction to the taxonomy and nomenclature of the genus paphiopedilum. 2. Problems in botanical taxonomy. 3. Orchidaceae Aka orchids. 4. The cypripediae. 5. The genus paphiopedilum. 6. Paphiopedilum culture. II. Descriptive section: 7. Description of taxa. 8. Notes on albinism. 9. Infrageneric taxonomy. III. The species: 1. Subgenus Parvisepalum. 2. Subgenus Brachypetalum. 3. Subgenus Paphiopedilum. 4. Subgenus Sigmatopetalum. 5. Subgenus Megastaminodium. 6. Subgenus polyantha. 7. Subgenus Cochlopetalum. Appendices. Heavily revised and augmented text written by the first author, with contributed information by Guy Chiron and Sandy Ohlund. Starting with a short preamble and a detailed discussion, the book continues with a general section dealing with the basics of orchids and orchid taxonomy. Thereafter, the genus Paphiopedilum, representing the Asian tropical and subtropical slipper orchids, is discussed. The infrageneric divisions of the genus are explained and every one of the 98 species of the genus is treated in detail: basionym (the name as given in the original publication), synonym(s), discussion, etymology (origin of the name of the species), detailed description, distribution and habitat, flowering data in situ and in cultivation (as far as available), miscellaneous notes such as the mitotic chromosome count, and varieties and forms (as far as applicable). All species are illustrated whereby the great majority of pictures are photographs taken from plants in cultivation and in their natural habitat. Close-ups are available for all species, as well as in situ photographs for a great number of the taxa. Furthermore, plates from famous Botanical works have been included. After the descriptive section, there is a chapter with identification keys to the various subgenera, sections, and subsections, and finally for each of these, there is a key leading to the species. The book is completed by an index of plant names and a bibliography. Overall, the layout of the book warrants easy use. Those not interested in the purely scientific chapters can easily jump directly to the descriptive part of the work that is perfect for identification.…
