This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book
may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages,
poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the
original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We
believe this work is culturally important, and despite the
imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of
our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works
worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in
the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.
A proper understanding of the structural organization of the plant
body is essential to any study in plant biology. Experimental
studies in vivo and in situ will lead to structural, physiological,
and cellular changes of the experimental material. To study
macroscopic and microscopic changes, different histological methods
and microtechniques can be used as they provide valuable
information of the experimental system. In addition, the observed
structural changes allow investigators to set hypothesis for
further studies based on one's own observation. Thus, proper
selection and utilization of microtechniques are a must for the
success of a research program. At present, an up-to-date collection
of protocols are not readily available in the literature. The
latest work in plant microtechniques was published in 1999 by Ruzin
but many others are no longer in print [e.g., Jensen (1964);
O'Brien and McCully (1981)]. Furthermore, a majority of published
works focus on techniques related to general processing and
staining procedures. A comprehensive treatment that encompasses
broader applications of microtechniques to other disciplines is
lacking [e.g., archeology, wood science, etc.]. There is a need to
create a comprehensive volume of botanical methods and protocols
which includes traditional and novel techniques that can be used by
researchers in plant science and investigators in other disciplines
that require plant microtechniques in their research and teaching.
This book covers a wide variety of applications and brings them
up-to-date to make them understandable and relevant, especially to
students using the methods for the first time. It is our intention
to create a useful reference for plant histology and related
methods that will serve as a foundation for plant scholars,
researchers, and teachers in the plant sciences.

This to a published scientific article advertised on this website,
known as G-500: The Twelve Forces of Movement. It describes in
detail through a series of pictures and diagrams, the importance of
movement as a constant force in mechanics and dynamics, how
movement uses momentum and motion to interact with bodies and
objects, how they are formed into various shapes and patterns, and
how they can become independent and mobile from movement. The
article utilises gas giants like worlds similar to the outer
planets in our very own solar system (e.g Jupiter, Neptune) in
elaborate illustrations to represent the bodies and objects at
work, explaining the principles involved. I have decided to use
these types of planets in part to present the forces and reactions
as an alternative to the typical and intimidating mathematical
formulas and equations that are displayed in other such journals;
the other reason is that gas giants are colourful metaphors to ease
and entice the reader instead of the standard and sometimes common
mono-coloured spheres, or basic symbols. This is done so that all
people even with a vague interest in science, physics, and similar
fields can understand it in a lucid manner, without feeling
alienated, perplexed, or overwhelmed. It is also done to show the
importance and significance this field has. On each page there are
five planets; one is always labelled Movement and shown to be
separate from the other planets that are pictured nearby. The
others are labelled Momentum, Motion, and Mobile; this is to depict
the reactions involved when Movement plays it role. At the bottom
of every page is a rectangular caption which describes in words
what is happening in the above diagrams. This is to assist in the
overall understanding of what I am addressing to the reader. The
documentation may appear rather simplistic, but this is part of a
hopeful first step to a series of similar literatures that I plan
to do in the future to bolster my theorems.
'A House in the Hills' is set in Spain, and is a story about Ted
and a lady called Ross who meet accidently outside a shop. Ted is a
retired vice-president of a building company, and befriends Ross
who is in Spain to escape from her abusive husband. He helps her to
renovate the 'finca' she has bought, and during the time they work
together, they realise that they are getting romantically close.
Her trust in him is shown when she confesses her horrific past.
Within the book, Ross tells Ted about her life with her abusive
husband. The story she relates is actually a true story, and was
told to the author when he was doing volunteer work at a hostel for
abused ladies. The names have obviously been changed, as are the
places mentioned. The final outcome though, is pure fiction. The
person who told the author of that part of her life had given her
permission for him to use it as part of a story. John Sumner is in
his seventies, and a retired Baker and Technical College Lecturer.
He currently lives part of the year in Spain, where he took up
writing as a hobby. 'A House in the Hills' is his first book to be
published, and could be followed by the sequel, 'Ted's Return'. He
has completed four books with another in the pipeline, all of which
may be published at a later date.
