Flax plant (Green Gold) and pest control
Flax, (Linum usitatissimum), plant of the family Linaceae, cultivated both for its fibre, from which linen yarn and fabric are made, and for its nutritious seeds, called flaxseed or linseed, from which linseed oil is obtained. Though flax has lost some of its value as a commercial fibre crop owing to the availability of synthetic fibres, flaxseed has grown in popularity as a health food, and flax remains economically significant in a number of countries around the world, including China, Russia, and Canada.Linen, Fibre, yarn, and fabric made from the flax plant. Flax is one of the oldest textile fibres used by humans; evidence of its use has been found in Switzerland's prehistoric lake dwellings. Fine linen fabrics have been discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs. The fibre is obtained by subjecting plant stalks to a series of operations, including retting (a fermentation process), drying, crushing, and beating. Linen is stronger than cotton, dries more quickly, and is more slowly affected by exposure to sunlight.

Plant Cell Biology
Plant Cell Biology: From Astronomy to Zoology, Third Edition connects the fundamentals of plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant growth and development, plant taxonomy, plant biochemistry, plant molecular biology, and plant cell biology. It covers all aspects of plant cell biology without emphasizing any one plant, organelle, molecule, or technique. Although most examples are biased towards plants, basic similarities between all living eukaryotic cells (animal and plant) are recognized and used to best illustrate cell processes. This is a must-have reference for scientists with a background in plant anatomy, plant physiology, plant growth and development, plant taxonomy, and more.

Rare Plants
A beautifully written and illustrated account of the threatened plant species that inhabit the British Isles. Britain and Ireland are home to around 300 species of rare flowering plants, and many more rare ferns, mosses, liverworts and freshwater algae. These are species at the cutting edge of biodiversity: fascinating, often beautiful, and in decline. Yet as some teeter on the brink, more rare species are still being discovered. In Rare Plants, prize-winning author Peter Marren describes the allure of Britain and Ireland's vanishing wild flora, from the simple joy of plant hunting to the wonder and (sometimes) weirdness of the plants themselves, as well as their important place in our landscape and culture. He also explores the condition of rarity in the context of our changing world and climate: why do plants become rare, what threats do they face, and what opportunities do we have to protect them before it is too late? The book concludes with an overview of different conservation techniques. Using test cases such as Lady's Slipper Orchid and Starved Wood-sedge, Peter asks: at what point does careful management becomes gardening? And how far are we are justified in intervening in the life of a wild species? Illustrated with around 300 colour images by some of Britain's best plant photographers, as well as boxed texts telling the fascinating stories of several key species, this is above all a celebration of rare plants and why they matter.

Spring Wildflowers of West Virginia
Spring Wildflowers of West Virginia describes nearly 250 plant species which flower during the spring months in the Allegheny Mountains of eastern North America. These are the plants found in the woods, forests, meadows, and bluffs of the region. Each plant is described and illustrated with two or more color photographs depicting the general form of the plant, and, in most cases, a close-up image of the plant's flower is provided to make positive identification of an unknown plant easier. The text of this book is based on the first edition (1948) of Spring Wild Flowers by Earl. L. Core (1902-1984). Dr. Core was a biology professor at West Virginia University for more than 40 years, and co-author of the classic four-volume Flora of West Virginia. The present work updates all botanical names, revises portions of the text, includes over 500 color photographs, a county-level distribution map for each species, and organizes the plants by flower color.
