Cycads
of the World
David L. Jones, Dennis Stevenson
Book Description: When the first edition of this book was published
in 1993, the popularity of cycads in the United States was just beginning
to expand beyond public gardens and arboretums in the South. Today, with
many species of these tropical plants readily available at local greenhouses
and nurseries, cycads have become a favorite of many home gardeners; their
palm-like appearance lends a taste of the tropics to any garden.
For this second edition David Jones has added information covering over
one hundred new species and subspecies and updated his material on the
two hundred species from the first edition. Each entry includes a full
description, distribution and habitat information, and a detailed cultivation
and propagation guide. The text is easily accessible for the home gardener
yet maintains the highest standards of scientific accuracy. Over 360 color
photographs plus many other illustrations and maps facilitate easy identification
of all living species. Additionally, since cycads truly are living fossils-
having existed for at least 250 million years-much information is provided
on their prehistory and history.
This second edition of Cycads of the World makes a fine addition to
the library of anyone interested in exotic plants, including gardeners,
landscape architects, horticulturalists, and botanists.

Palms
for Development
by Bryan Brunner, Frank Martin (CD-ROM)
The family of the palms, Arecaceae, is very large and is well distributed
in the tropics. Among the palms there are three--the coconut, the date,
and the African oil palm that serve humankind throughout the world with
their local uses and their shipped products. Among the up to three thousand
species, there are many hundreds with useful products, as this volume will
document. And among palms in general, there are perhaps thousands of uses
and potential uses, some documented in this book, among the well-known
and unknown palms of the world. Thousands? The coconut palm itself is said
to have at least a thousand uses. Around the world, members of the palm
family are "staffs of life" providing food, fuel, thatch, timber, and many
other items. Palms for Development introduces the reader to the fascinating
world of palms with an emphasis on their use and potential for incorporation
into development projects. It includes instruction on cultivating palms
and an extensive listing of multi-purpose palms and their possible uses.
All information is contained in screen optimized and print optimized formats.
Almost fourty full color images and a searchable index are included. The
CD is PC and Macintosh compatible and includes Adobe Reader. Published
