The Evolutionary Biology of Plants
ISBN: 9780226580838 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although they are among the most abundant of all living things and provide essential oxygen, food, and shelter to the animal kingdom, few books pay any attention to how and why plants evolved the wondrous diversity we see today. In this richly illustrated and clearly written book, Karl J. Niklas provides the first comprehensive synthesis of modern evolutionary biology as it relates to plants.
After presenting key evolutionary principles, Niklas recounts the saga of plant life from its origins to the radiation of the flowering plants. To investigate how living plants might have evolved,...

Plant Evolution: An Introduction to the History of Life
ISBN: 9780226342146 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although plants comprise more than 90% of all visible life, and land plants and algae collectively make up the most morphologically, physiologically, and ecologically diverse group of organisms on earth, books on evolution instead tend to focus on animals. This organismal bias has led to an incomplete and often erroneous understanding of evolutionary theory. Because plants grow and reproduce differently than animals, they have evolved differently, and generally accepted evolutionary views--as, for example, the standard models of speciation--often fail to hold when applied to them. ...

Plant Allometry: The Scaling of Form and Process
ISBN: 9780226580814 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Allometry, the study of the growth rate of an organism's parts in relation to the whole, has produced exciting results in research on animals. Now distinguished plant biologist Karl J. Niklas has written the first book to apply allometry to studies of the evolution, morphology, physiology, and reproduction of plants.
Niklas covers a broad spectrum of plant life, from unicellular algae to towering trees, including fossil as well as extant taxa. He examines the relation between organic size and variations in plant form, metabolism, reproduction, and evolution, and draws on the zoological...

Plant Biomechanics: An Engineering Approach to Plant Form and Function
ISBN: 9780226586311 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this first comprehensive treatment of plant biomechanics, Karl J. Niklas analyzes plant form and provides a far deeper understanding of how form is a response to basic physical laws. He examines the ways in which these laws constrain the organic expression of form, size, and growth in a variety of plant structures, and in plants as whole organisms, and he draws on the fossil record as well as on studies of extant species to present a genuinely evolutionary view of the response of plants to abiotic as well as biotic constraints. Well aware that some readers will need an introduction to...

Plant Physics
ISBN: 9780226150819 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From Galileo, who used the hollow stalks of grass to demonstrate the idea that peripherally located construction materials provide most of the resistance to bending forces, to Leonardo da Vinci, whose illustrations of the parachute are alleged to be based on his study of the dandelion's pappus and the maple tree's samara, many of our greatest physicists, mathematicians, and engineers have learned much from studying plants. A symbiotic relationship between botany and the fields of physics, mathematics, engineering, and chemistry continues today, as is revealed in "Plant Physics." The result...

Reflexionsprobleme im Erziehungssystem
ISBN: 9783518283400 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2005 / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Dieses Buch analysiert zentrale Reflexionsprobleme des Erziehungssystems aus soziologischer Sicht, nmlich die Autonomie der Erziehung, die pdagogisch-didaktische Technologie und die selektive Funktion des Erziehens fr Karrieren innerhalb und auerhalb von Schule und Hochschule. Dabei zeigt sich, da eine moderne Gesellschaft der Erziehungswissenschaft als Beitrag abverlangt, eine selbstreferentiell korrigierbare Theorie zu entwickeln.
