Ethiopia's orchids are sparsely represented in herbaria and their
biology, ecology and conservation status remains poorly understood.
With detailed descriptions, keys, line drawings, distribution maps
and colour photographs, this field guide is an invaluable source to
anyone who wants to identify these orchids in the field.
Two precious Gold Horns were sacrificed by a group of Angles in
South Jutland shortly before they migrated to England. The pictures
on the horns offer a substantial explanation of the pre-Christian
religion of the Angles. This book describes how many Anglian groups
from the continent migrated to England and brought with them their
culture and English language. It provides an original analysis of
archaeological finds and documentation of the Anglo-Saxon religion.
This can be observed in finds from the heathen Anglo-Saxons, - the
Sutton Hoo ship burial, Franks Casket, the square-headed brooches,
idols, amulets and ceramics. The book also explores Runes - the
most remarkable invention of the Angles. The book will be enjoyed
by anybody interested in English heritage and especially those with
an interest in pre-Christian Anglo-Saxons.
Orchids are among the most popular and widely collected of plant families, with tropical species and hybrids being cultivated the world over. The five volumes of Genera Orchidacearum will provide a complete, robust classification of the orchids, descriptions of individual species, and cultivational information. The series, superbly illustrated with colour photographs and line drawings of all the genera, will be an absolutely indispensable reference tool both for scientists, and for orchid breeders, collectors, and enthusiasts. This, the first volume of the Genera Orchidacearum, includes Cypripedioideae, the slipper orchids, arguably the most attractive and popular orchids of all.
