Book Description
This glossary briefly defines the botanical terms likely to be used in the descriptions of mosses and other bryophytes, and is illustrated with remarkable photographs taken at various levels of magnification, mostly using a microscope, that reveal the amazing details of structure in nearly 400 mosses, liverworts, and hornworts. The book will be of interest not only to those specifically concerned with mosses but to naturalists in general
Customer Reviews:
Arcane yet Awesome.......2001-08-06
With absolutely stunning photographs and accurate definitions, this book is a landmark in publishing. The authors have created an illustrated dictionary using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. The nearly 1000 color pictures, the majority photomicrographs, are crisply reproduced. The book's strength is in presentation of details of cellular structure, so important for identifying mosses and their ilk. This book will be useful for years to come. This is not a book for the beginner; without solid training in general botany it is likely to be overwhelming, if not impenetrable. This is a reference book, not a text. For the beginning student of mosses, however, it can be a stepping stone to mastering this fascinating group of land plants. The only caution is for northern hemisphere botanists: almost all the subjects are drawn from the flora of New Zealand. Although the images might illustrate a term well, a North American reader will never encounter most of the species depicted.
Mosses and Other Bryophtes.......2001-07-23
This is a highly technical book. Brush up on your latin before you purchase it. Illustrations range from a few side views of whole clumps to individual plant photos. If you are interested in the molecular structure, this book is for you.

Foghorn Outdoors Bay Area Biking is a collection of 60 bike rides, suitable for both road cyclists and mountain bikers, all within a 90-minute drive of San Francisco.

Bay Area Biking includes details on terrain, mileage, riding time, elevation gain, and level of difficulty, along with precise driving directions to the start of each ride, route maps, and mile-by-mile directions that include places to stop for water and groceries, and where to discover cafes, wineries, and historic sights.

not worth the money, 2 thin, 2 uninteresting, 2 little value.......2004-01-26
There is no real description of this book in the lsting on Amazon.com. What a shame, maybe I might've realized what a waste this book would be. I am very intersted in any book about NJ, and decided for less then $10 how could I go wrong? Never ask that question. it's like asing "What's the worst that could happen?"
The book is 49 pages, which itself is a clue, but this book has large margins on sides and top and bottom, it has very large typeface and lots of pictures. A lot of pictures. That said, it has the appearance of something you'd find in the school library in Omaha, NE or Boise, ID. It covers the basics, geography, census statistics, state parks, notable cities and that's it. This not a any sort of useful guide to anyone who isn't studying the 50 states in grade school.
Book Description
Magnificent collection of floral patterns and stencil designs, created by one of the movement's finest artists, includes 120 images of graceful garden flowers —foxglove, hollyhocks, columbine, lilies, among others, and 39 stencil designs of blossoming trees, reeds, mushrooms, oak leaves, peacocks, and more.
Customer Reviews:
Best of Verneuil.......2007-02-28
This book exceeded my hopes. It had many more images in full color than I expected for such a cheap book. I have seen other books by Verneuil and they were half as nice and mostly black and white. I think anyone into decorating, drawing, and painting will like this book. It will inspire you to create art nouveau lines and flowers on your own work.
Good designs.......2006-11-05
If you are into art nouveau, you will enjoy this Dover book. Again many variations on floral themes.
Beautiful artwork, beautiful reproductions.......2006-06-07
I thought the artwork in this book was stunning, and the reproduction quality and colors were lovely. I did have one major problem with the book, two of the main designs on the cover (topmost horizontal design and the center horizontal design) are NOT IN THE BOOK! These are two of the main patterns I planned to use from the book, and now if I want to, I need to get them from the cover, where they are covered by text. I found this to be unacceptable! Please keep this fact in mind if the cover is what won you over.
Fine Art professional point of view .......2006-03-21
This book helps me in my work big time. I'm free freelance artist and right now I'm working on my next big project in Art Nouveau style and I can not imagine my work without this book.
Sit down before you open this one.......2006-01-14
Dover Publications is the friend of anyone with nearly any sort of interest (and not much money). If you're interested in the ways and means of New Art, get this one.
M. Verneuil clearly would have liked the Dover editors. LIke them, he had his wide-ranging interests, in his case in botany, Japanese design, and decorative arts (to judge by his booklist).
This book is a feast that shifts back and forth from stylization and abstraction on one hand to close observation of natural plant forms on the other. One two-page spread (plates 62 & 63) in particular juxtaposes both this reduction into pattern and the accuracy of his eye.
These are the crown imperial and the German iris from Verneuil's Etude de la plante. Side views of each plant give you the random visual complexity of the original -- almost scruffy leaves, in the crown imperial's case. Both set forth the visually overwhelming detail of the blossoms. But, at the bottom of both plates are plan views of a blossom, simple, regular and compelling as a Japanese mon.
If the rest of Verneuil's plant book is this good, I'm hoping Dover reprints the whole thing one day.
When Verneuil moves to greater depths (or is it heights?) of abstraction, the results are often stunning. Don't miss plate 27, an overall pattern of maidenhair fern in shades of orange, or plate 28, a tiled pattern of wild iris in rippling water.
It's interesting to compare the sunflowers in plate 79, apparently a detail from a running line of tiles, with the one in plate 59 from Etude de la plante. The latter captures the petals in wild abandon, the leaves in their rough, almost papery reality. The former flattens and regularizes each leaf, and views the flowers head-on, giving us a literal sunburst of shape and color in complex but regular pattern.
Throughout, M. Verneuil brings a solid color sense, now playing with shades of neighboring hues, now with contrasting hues. Each one seems absolutely right.
You can't open this book to any page without feeling that the mind and eye that originated it were pretty special. It's more than likely that some of this impression is due to the care of Carol Belanger Grafton, who selected and arranged the plates -- many of the two-page spreads seem to delight in comparing, or mirroring, or contrasting Verneuil's designs.
If you like art nouveau, you'll want this book.
