Mosses: Utah and the West

Book Description

This title was first published in 1973 by Brigham Young University Press and is a classic of the bryologic literature. Flowers (1900 - 1968) was a researcher, a writer and a professor of botany at the University of Utah. He specialized in bryology and phycology and was President of the American Bryological Society. Mosses: Utah and the West made a substantial and original contribution to our knowledge of the mosses of the western United States. Before Flowers began his extensive bryologic research, Utah was considered to have a relatively small and uninteresting moss flora because of its generally low rainfall. This book however, treats 256 species in 77 genera and 18 families; a large proportion of which were discovered in Utah for the first time by the author. The beautifully executed and original illustrations form one of the finest features of this book; Seville Flowers became an extraordinarily accurate and skillful bryologic artist through the years. Mosses: Utah and the West is a monumental work on mosses of Utah and contiguous areas, providing keys, illustrations, descriptions and information on geographic distribution and habitats and detailed observations by Flowers. This book will be useful to bryologists, foresters, ecologists and other botanists. It will serve as a guide to the moss flora of most of the intermountain region.

Book Description

Saint Martin/Sint Maarten is unique by any standards- historically, geographically, and culturally. Situated in the Caribbean Leeward Islands and only 37 square miles across, it is remarkable for its dual nationality: French and Dutch. The border is almost invisible and people cross back and forth without ever really realizing they are entering a new country. The only sign is a monument between Union Road and Bellevue commemorating over 350 years of peaceful cohabitation and the Treaty that made the arrangement possible. With its two bustling capitals Marigot (on the French side) and Philipsburg (on the Dutch) and its subtle and not so subtle cultural and architectural differences, there are endless opportunities for everyone, from the casinos in Philipsburg to a day's hike through the jungles of Loterie Farm near Pic Paradis.

The towns on the French side are a mixture of markets that are typically Caribbean and cafes that are typically French. On the Dutch side, Philipsburg is a popular mooring place for cruise ships and with its many restaurants, shops, night clubs, and casinos has long been an active center for trade and tourism. It's an island that truly rewards exploration and it's not called the gourmet capital of the Caribbean for nothing! Photographer Donald Nausbaum and his wife, acclaimed food writer Madeleine Greey, are the island's biggest fans. Together, they have traveled the length and breadth of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten capturing on film and in words the very essence of this beautiful and delightfully partitioned island home.

A Book as Beautiful as the Island Itself .......2006-03-18

I could not have been happier to find this beautiful book! I was looking for a bright-colored "coffee table book" for my family room, and I found a winner! My husband and I love the island of Saint Martin/Sint Maarten, so this was the perfect book for us. The photographs remind us of the time we have spent here in the past, and leave us anticipating our next visit. It is so nice to see pictures of places we have been, and things we have seen. The book is very well organized, and contains photos of all parts of the island. It is also a great conversation piece.

Funny/sad/FUNNY.......2006-04-18

Punchlines from this book keep coming to mind as I consider how to title this review. ("I've come to kill the worms." "You're Catholic, huh Doc?" "Elixir of Seconal! You got trouble!")

Miller is an old hand at veterinary humor. He pulls no punches, yet manages to offend almost nobody because his writing, like his cartoons, is sharply, realistically funny while refusing to turn away from the ugly facts of veterinary work.

Amazing.......1999-09-10

I recieved this book as a gift. I read it in less than a day. It's absolutlry delightful and one those books one just can put down. It's filled with stories that warm the heart. It also is filled with unique, humorous, and tear jerking stories. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys animals or day-to-day life.

The most entertaining and informative book I have ever read........1999-08-05

I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading about animals or amusing anecdotes from the experiences of a veterinarian. This book opened up the possibility for me to pursue a career as a veterinarian. I recommend it to anyone and everyone. I only wish I could contact the author to thank him for writing this book, and giving me the opportunity to read it.

I read this one nont-stop, 26 hours FLAT. It's THAT good........1999-06-15

I just couldn't stop reading it ! THIS is the book you'll want to read to pass the time in an airport or waiting for someone in a restaurant, and yet you VALUE every book you read, not just some so-and-so story to pass time with but a really good novel with exciting, refreshing, humorous (humor IS the underlined word in this book - my belly ached, my eyes wet reading the book), yet down-to-earth story in which you'll also find sorrow, embarrassment, pride, and joy, all through the life of a humble (yes Mr.Herriot - he IS also a genious (and funny !) story teller)veterinarian. A great, compact, binded pieces of paper this surely is. Oh, and Doc Miller, if you're reading this, in chapter 15 about the nice people - the widow and her daughter, I think you LIED and YOU're the one who bought them the pu...well, any would be readers just have to derive their own conclusion about the story of the pretty and polite 16 years old and her widowed mother in chapter 15, when The Lord decided it's payback time to the nice people. Buy it, borrow it, in any case, read it. It's a great book. You'll have wonderful time reading it. Many people including me did. I still giggle everytime I remember some of his funny stories and look up at the sky everytime I remember the incident with the nice people.

This is the most enjoyable book I have ever had the pleasure of reading. If you like reading about animals or medical information, this book is a must. The author discusses his life as a veterinarian and all the breath-taking experiences he encountered during his life of working with animals. He does an excellent job of tying seriousness and humor together to make the book both informative and fun to read. I recommend this book to eveyone.
