An engaging introduction to the ancient hawthorn tree and its varied roles in human history One of humankind’s oldest companions, the hawthorn tree is bound up in the memories of every recorded age and the plot lines of cultures across the Northern Hemisphere. In Hawthorn, Bill Vaughn examines the little-recognized political, cultural, and natural history of this ancient spiky plant. Used for thousands of years in the impenetrable living fences that defined the landscapes of Europe, the hawthorn eventually helped feed the class antagonism that led to widespread social upheaval. In the American Midwest, hawthorn-inspired hedges on the prairies made nineteenth-century farming economically rewarding for the first time. Later, in Normandy, mazelike hedgerows bristling with these thorns nearly cost the Allies World War II. Vaughn shines light on the full scope of the tree’s influence over human events. He also explores medicinal value of the hawthorn, the use of its fruit in the world’s first wine, and the symbolic role its spikes and flowers played in pagan beliefs and Christian iconography. As entertaining as it is illuminating, this book is the first full appreciation of the hawthorn’s abundant connections with humanity.

La forêt gabonaise comprend plusieurs centaines d'espèces d'arbres. Une poignée est très connue, beaucoup le sont nettement moins, et certaines sont encore anonymes. Ce guide vous emmène à la découverte de 37 familles botaniques et de 225 espèces, dont plus de 140 sont illustrées. Il vous permet de les identifier et de mieux les connaître à l'aide de schémas simples et de près de 1000 photographies de détails botaniques en couleur. Pour les plus expérimentés, de nouvelles données concernant l'écologie permettront de consolider leurs connaissances. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est le partage et la vulgarisation des connaissances, afin que les agents des administrations en charge des forêts, tout comme les exploitants forestiers ou encore les populations locales, puissent mieux comprendre et gérer ces essences utiles. Il pourra aussi se glisser dans la poche des randonneurs et des naturalistes, qui seront en mesure de reconnaître et de nommer plus facilement ces arbres précieux de la forêt gabonaise.

This book analyzes what is currently known about functional and ecological xylem anatomy. In addition to serving as a source of information to professionals, instructors, and advanced students in plant science and forestry, the inherent beauty of xylem that is apparent in many images will be a source of inspiration to readers who are not yet familiar with the topic. This work offers a unique combination of scientific insight based on thorough experimental work and beautiful images, which often speak for themselves. The beauty of xylem is evident at different scales; from views of striking tree ring patterns and vascular networks in fern fronds, conifer needles, and angiosperm leaves, to microscopic images of developing pits. Functional and Ecological Xylem Anatomy not only serves as a source of information, but also of inspiration.
