Synopsis

The Laboratory and Field Manual of Botany, written by Joseph Young Bergen in 1907, is a comprehensive guide to the study of plants in both the laboratory and the field. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the study of plant anatomy and physiology in the laboratory, and the second part focusing on the identification and classification of plants in the field.The laboratory section of the book covers topics such as the structure and function of plant cells, photosynthesis, respiration, and plant growth and development. It also includes detailed instructions for conducting experiments and making observations, as well as illustrations and diagrams to help students understand the concepts.The field section of the book provides a guide to the identification of plants in their natural habitats. It covers topics such as plant classification, plant families, and the use of keys and field guides for plant identification. The section also includes descriptions and illustrations of common plant species, as well as tips for collecting and preserving plant specimens.Overall, the Laboratory and Field Manual of Botany is a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in the study of plants. Its detailed instructions, illustrations, and comprehensive coverage of both laboratory and field techniques make it an essential reference for anyone studying botany.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This manual offers material for much more than a years laboratory work. This is made necessary by the fact that instructors differ widely in their views as to what matter should be presented in -an introductory course under the variety of conditions obtaining where botany is taught. A course must necessarily be framed selectively, and the chief alternatives are discussed in the opening paragraphs of the I ntroduction. The authors fully recognize the fact that no set of directions of only moderate fullness can tell the student all that he needs to know about choice of material, apparatus, and manipulation. It is assumed that much is left to be explained by the instructor, and constant mention is made of general and special laboratory guides which may be consulted for needed details. The student in the laboratory is not to consider himself as merely the corroborator of facts already ascertained :he is to interrogate mainly not the instructor, not the manual, but the plant itself. The directions here given are, therefore, for the most part suggestions on methods of procedure and indications as to the plants or parts of plants in which to look for desired information. Since the amount of ground that can be covered by laboratory divisions varies so largely with many circumstances, it has seemed desirable to designate two courses, a briefer and a fuller one. The matter which may be omitted from the latter to frame the shorter course is printed in smaller type and consists in the main of rather more difficult or detailed studies than those which appear in the larger type.
