Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

manga version of the hit anime--but with a divergent storyline. In
a devastated post-apocalyptic future, Earth is a desolate
wasteland. Humanity's only remaining strongholds are mobile

roam the land. Failed pilot Hiro would be out there fighting them

when she uses her powers to heal one, the boy reveals his true
nature!
The association between plants and wind that first comes to mind
might be plant damage from a strong wind such as a typhoon or
monsoon. The winds this book will 1 discuss, however, are not this
strong at all, but rather are only 2 m.s. or weaker, like a breeze
that gently blows over a farming area. Such a breeze, in fact,
instills vitality into plants and increases their growth rates.
This book is an attempt to explain these beneficial effects on
plants from a field perspective. One fundamental process necessary
for plant growth is photosynthesis. Since it is a photochemical
reaction, this synthesis has been studied with emphasis on light.
Yet to shed light on dry-matter or carbohydrate production by
plants, it is indispensable to pursue research not only into the
mechanism of photosynthesis but also into photosynthetic production
itself. I have observed various phenomena occurring in the
production field, and have thereby realized it necessary to
recognize photosynthesis as a phenomenon that carbon dioxide (C0 )
in the air diffuses into chloroplasts in the leaves, and to study 2
which environmental factors promote C0 diffusion into the leaves. 2
In this book, I am going to describe the effects of the natural
environment on photosynthetic production, placing focus on the leaf
boundary layer as an environmental factor for plant production."

When Suzu shows up in Matsuri's room without warning, he knows
something is wrong... and then she kisses him, before vanishing the
next instant! It turns out it's not Suzu, but an omokage - a
doppelganger ayakashi that's usually harmless. But what happens
when the powers of an ayakashi medium are in the mix?
