Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) John Stevens Henslow (1796 1861) was a botanist and geologist.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) An influential professor of botany at Cambridge, John Stevens Henslow (1796 1861) revived his department and helped develop the current University Botanical Garden for study, teaching and conservation.

The Principles of Descriptive and Physiological Botany
ISBN: 9781108001861 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Henslow's importance as Darwin's mentor is well established. He recommended Darwin for the post of naturalist on the Beagle and also encouraged him to read Lyell's pivotal geology text (also reissued in this series). While professor of botany at Cambridge, Henslow nurtured independent inquiry and acute observation in his students. These attributes are evident in this liberally illustrated 1835 book, which also reveals the influence of Candolle's Theorie Elementaire de la Botanique (1813) and Physiologie Vegetale (1832). Henslow's book, like his meticulous research papers and his innovative...

A Catalogue of British Plants Arranged According to the Natural System: With the Synonyms of de Candolle, Smith, and Lindley
ISBN: 9781108061728 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In 1829, botany had much to prove. A prominent lecturer, John Lindley, noted that 'it has been very much the fashion of late years, in this country, to undervalue the importance of this science, and to consider it an amusement for ladies rather than an occupation for the serious thoughts of man'. In the three documents reissued here, Cambridge botany professor John Stevens Henslow (1796 1861) demonstrates the exacting standards of his course. The work contains an 1829 catalogue of British plants, the skeleton structure of sixteen lectures for 1833 and an 1851 list of potential examination...
