Weeds
of the Northeast
Richard H. Uva, et al
Book Description: Here, at last, is a lavishly illustrated manual
for ready identification of 299 common and economically important weeds
in the region south to Virginia, north to Maine and southern Canada, and
west to Wisconsin. Based on vegetative rather than floral characteristics,
this practical guide gives anyone who works with plants the ability to
identify weeds before they flower. A dichotomous key to all the species
described in the book is designed to narrow the choices to a few possible
species. Identification can then be confirmed by reading the descriptions
of the species and comparing a specimen with the drawings and photographs.
A fold-out grass identification table provides diagnostic information for
weedy grasses in an easy-to-use tabular key. Specimens with unusual vegetative
characteristics, such as thorns, square stems, whorled leaves, or milky
sap, can be rapidly identified using the shortcut identification table.
The first comprehensive weed identification manual available for the Northeast,
this book will facilitate appropriate weed management strategy in any horticultural
or agronomic cropping system and will also serve home gardeners and landscape
managers, as well as pest management specialists and allergists.

The
Evolutionary Biology of Plants
Karl J. Niklas
Book Description: 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, Niklas conducts a
series of computer-generated "walks" on fitness "landscapes," arriving
at hypothetical forms of plant life strikingly similar to those of today
and the distant past. He concludes with an extended consideration of molecular
biology and paleontology.
An excellent overview for undergraduates, this book will also challenge
graduate students and researchers. --

Reaching
for the Sun : How Plants Work
John King
Book Description: Green plants are all around us. We are totally
dependent on them for food; we cultivate them for our pleasure; and we
use them to our advantage in a vast number of ways. This is a lively, nontechnical
account of how green plants live, grow and...reach for the sun. It covers
everything you need or want to know about plants, including how plants
satisfy their nutritional and energy needs, how they direct and promote
their growth, development and death, and how they react to the daily and
seasonal variations and stresses in their environments. Finally, the author
describes how they attract and repel other living organisms and how we
exploit them for our own use in food and medicine. From their ability to
take energy from sunlight to make their own food to their amazing range
of life-sustaining, death-defying strategies, John King explains why plants
dominate our planet. This is not just a book for avid gardeners and naturalists.
This is a book for anyone who wants to understand why the earth is green.
