Broberg, G. (2023). The
Man Who Organized
Nature : The Life of
Linnaeus. Princeton
University Press.
ISBN 9780691213422

Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778), known as thefather of modern biological taxonomy, formalized and popularized the system of binomial
nomenclature used to classify plants and animals.
Linnaeus himself classified thousands of species;
the simple and immediately recognizableabbreviation “L” is used to mark classifications
originally made by Linnaeus. This biography, by
the leading authority on Linnaeus, offers a vivid
portrait of Linnaeus’s life and work. Drawing
on a wide range of previously unpublishedsources – including diaries and personal correspondence – as well as new research, it presents
revealing and original accounts of his family life,
the political context in which he pursued his
work, and his eccentric views on sexuality.
The Man Who Organized Nature describes
Linnaeus’s childhood in a landscape of striking
natural beauty and how this influenced hislater work. Linnaeus’s Lutheran pastor father,knowledgeable about plants and an enthusiastic gardener, helped foster an early interestin botany. The book examines the politicalconnections that helped Linnaeus secure patronage for his work, and untangles his ideas about
sexuality. These were not, as often assumed,
an attempt to naturalize gender categories but
more likely reflected the laissez-faire attitudesof the era. Linnaeus, like many other brilliant

3

scientists, could be moody and egotistical; thebook describes his human failings as well as his
medical and scientific achievements. Written in
an engaging and accessible style, The Man Who
Organized Nature – one of the only biographies ofLinnaeus to appear in English – provides new andfascinating insights into the life of one of history’s
most consequential and enigmatic scientists.
TD57(092)/Li610

Collections of preserved plant specimens,
known as herbaria, have existed for nearly five
centuries. These pressed and labeled plants havebeen essential resources for scientists, allowing
them to describe and differentiate species andto document and research plant changes and biodiversity over time – including changes related
to climate.
Maura C. Flannery tells the history of herbaria, from the earliest collections belonging tosuch advocates of the technique as 16th Century
botanist Luca Ghini, to the collections of poets,
politicians, and painters, and to the digitization ofthese precious specimens today. She charts thegrowth of herbaria during the Age of Exploration,
the development of classification systems toorganize the collections, and herbaria’s indispensable role in the tracking of climate change andmolecular evolution. Herbaria also have historical, aesthetic, cultural, and ethnobotanical value– these preserved plants can be linked to theIndigenous peoples who used them, the collectors who sought them out, and the scientists who
studied them. This book testifies to the central
role of herbaria in the history of plant study andto their continued value, not only to biologists
but to entirely new users as well: gardeners,
artists, students, and citizen-scientists.

Routledge Handbook of
Biosecurity and Invasive
Species. Routledge.
ISBN 9780367763213

This handbook provides a comprehensive
overview of the assessment and managementof potentially dangerous infectious diseases,
quarantined pests, invasive (alien) species, living
modified organisms and biological weapons,from a multitude of perspectives.
Issues of biosecurity have gained increasing attention over recent years but have often
been addressed only from narrow disciplines
and with a lack of integration of theoretical andpractical approaches. The Routledge Handbook of
Biosecurity and Invasive Species brings together
both the natural sciences and the social sciences
for a fully rounded perspective on biosecurity,
shedding light on current national and international management frameworks with a mind
to assessing possible future scenarios. With
chapters focussing on a variety of ecosystems –including forests, islands, marine and coastal andagricultural land – as well as from the industrial
scale to individual gardens, this handbook
reviews the global state of invasions and vulnerabilities across a wide range of themes andcritically analyses key threats and threatening
activities, such as trade, travel, land development
and climate change.
Identifying invasive species and management techniques from a regional to international
scale, this book will be a key reference text for4

a wide range of students and academics inecology, agriculture, geography, human andanimal health and interdisciplinary environmental and security studies.

Squirrel Nation tells the story of Britain’s two
squirrel species over the past two hundred years.
The beloved red squirrel is rare, while the greysquirrel is commonly seen in our garders, parks,
towns and countryside. Many Britons see thegrey squirrel as a foreign invader as it was introduced from North America in the late nineteenth
century. Peter Coates describes the animal’scolonization of Britain and how it relates to suchcontemporary issues as belonging, nationalism,
citizenship and the defence of borders. Despite
people’s tendency to differentiate between
British squirrels and squirrels in Britain, Squirrel
Nation reveals that the two species share moresimilarities than meets the eye.

Integrating Lifestyle
Medicine in
Cardiovascular Healthand Disease Prevention.
CRC Press.
ISBN 9781032213842

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading
cause of morbidity and mortality in the UnitedStates and around the world. Major risk factors
for CVD result from poor lifestyle habits andpractices, but the area of lifestyle medicine has
emerged to help clinicians and their patients
understand the power of positive lifestyle habits
and actions.
Written by cardiologist and lifestyle
medicine pioneer, Dr. James Rippe, Integrating
Lifestyle Medicine in Cardiovascular Health andDisease Prevention introduces the principles oflifestyle medicine with the practice of cardiology to help lower the risk of heart disease and, if
already present, assist in its treatment. This bookprovides evidence-based information on boththe prevention and treatment of CVD throughlifestyle measures such as regular physical activity, sound nutrition, weight management andavoidance of tobacco products. This information
aids physicians and patients to better understand multiple linkages between poor habits
and practices, employing them with associatedbehavioral techniques to lessen the likelihood ofdeveloping CVD.
Features:• Summarizes major issues in CVD including
heart attack, stroke, atrial fibrillation, high bloodpressure, lipid abnormalities and obesity;

Written for practitioners at all levels, thisuser-friendly volume in the Lifestyle Medicine
series is valuable to practitioners in general medicine or subspecialty practices including lifestyle
medicine and cardiology.
TD616.1/Ri726

MEG-EEG Primer presents the basic A to Z
of two non-invasive human electrophysiologicalmethods, magnetoencephalography (MEG) andelectroencephalography (EEG). These methods
are used to study human brain dynamics, tracking the brain’s responses to sensory, cognitive,
and social stimuli. This book, now in its second
edition, remains the only volume of its kind that
discusses both MEG and EEG side-by-side, for
an integrated understanding of brain function.
In 22 chapters with almost two hundred color
figures, the book covers the basic physical andphysiological foundations of these two methods,
the historical background and development of
their implementation, instrumentation, recording
techniques, data analysis, and interpretation.
The new edition includes expanded text on
MEG and EEG sensor types and amplifiers, artifacts, new analysis tools, open data repositories,
and novel instrumentation. Due to new concerns
from the COVID-19 pandemic, general infection
control in MEG/EEG laboratories is also discussed.
Interoception is introduced as an interesting
emerging research field. Moreover, future developments in MEG and EEG are examined withrespect to new and evolving technologies, andnew applications for their use. Overall, MEG-EEG
Primer puts into perspective the role of MEG and
EEG in neuroscience research at large, and thefuture of our understanding of the dynamics ofhuman brain function.

Atchison, D.A., & Smith,G. (2023). Optics of the
Human Eye (2nd ed.).
CRC Press.
ISBN 9780367640514

This book describes the optical structure
and optical properties of the human eye. For easeof reference, the most commonly useful topics
are at the beginning and topics with narrower
appeal are placed towards the end. The book is
divided into five sections, covering:• Basic optical structure of the eye, including the refracting components, the pupil, axes,
and simple models of the eye;
• Image formation and refraction of the eye,including refractive errors, measurement, andcorrection;• Interactions between light and the eye,considering transmission, reflection, and scatterin the media and at the fundus;• Aberrations and retinal image quality;• Depth-of-field and age-related changes in
the optics of the eye.
The book concludes with five appendices;
these cover mathematics relating to paraxial
optics, aberration theory, image quality criteria
and refraction across the pupil, and they provide
construction data and optical parameters ofseveral schematic eyes.
There have been many developments inthe field of visual optics since the first edition was
published in 2000. There have been advances
in instrumentation for imagery, biometry, andaberrations of the eye. The refraction anomaly of

myopia has increased in prevalence throughout
the world, and is getting increasing attention
because of its association with ocular pathology
in the middle and later years of life. Ocular aberrations are now considered in terms of Zernike
polynomials rather than Taylor polynomials.
Aberrations can be manipulated to better understand their effects on visual performance toimprove imagery of the retina for the bettermentof diagnosis of various ocular conditions, and totreat the progression of myopia in children. To
deal with these developments, the section on
aberrations and retinal image quality has undergone considerable revision.
This book will be an invaluable purchasefor all those with an interest in vision, such as
optometrists, ophthalmologists, vision scientists,
optical physics, and student of visual optics. An
understanding of the optics of the human eye isparticularly important to designers of ophthalmic
diagnostic equipment and visual optical systems,
such as telescopes.
TD617.7/At214This text examines the fads and fallacies,
both past and present, that have plagued psychiatric diagnosis, treatments and research. It argues
that such practices have led to an over-diagnosis of conditions such as depression, bipolar
disorder, ADHD, PTSD and autism. It examines
the over-treatment of psychiatric disorders withpharmaceuticals, and asks if neuroscience will
actually hold the answers to the biggest questions in the field. Thoroughly updated in light of
new research, this new edition addresses someof the more recent developments in psychiatry,
including behavioural genetics, genome-wide
association studies, and brain imaging. It looks
at new advances in psychotherapies and argues
for a broad biopsychosocial model. The bookwill inform psychiatrists, clinical psychologists,
other mental health professionals, and medical
students of the limits of mental health practiceand the importance of adopting cautious conservatism and the principles of evidence-based
practice.

Visible light has an inescapable presence
all around us. We have generated light fromprehistoric times using a variety of techniques. In
modern times, we mainly produce illumination
through electrical means. There are interesting
historic anecdotes and fascinating scientificfacts behind the various modern techniques forgenerating light.
This book attempts to describe the stories
and technologies related to many light sources– some common, some less so. Described in amore-or-less chronological fashion, the booklooks at developments from Edison and Swan’s
invention of the incandescent lamp, throughlasers, to LEDs, and more. While the main focus
is on sources of visible light, a number of devices
that produce invisible radiation are also covered
for the sake of completeness.
The book provides a holistic view ofcommon and uncommon light sources fromboth historic and technical perspectives, to help
readers place more modern developments inthe context of what came before, and how. This

What We Sow : On the
Personal, Ecological, andCultural Significance ofSeeds. Timber Press.
ISBN 9781643261072

What We Sow is an intense, insightful look
into the outsize impact that one of nature’s
smallest manifestations – the simple seed – hason each of us, our days, and our collective nourishment.
Jennifer Jewell takes us on a year’s journeythat mirrors the life cycle of seeds, along the way
examining them from a scientific, economic,
and cultural perspective. We learn how seeds
marketed as “organic” are actually grown andsourced and how multinational agribusinesses
have refined and patented the actual genomesof staples like corn and soy. Jewell also celebrates
the efforts of activists working for racial and foodjustice to regain legal access to heirloom seeds
stolen from Indigenous peoples and people ofcolor.
At the same time, we are invited to share
Jewell’s personal observations of the glory ofnature. She notices that it’s the manzanita thatblooms first in spring, there to greet the bees;
that the wild seeds she encounters on her shortdaily walks take the form of everything from cups
and saucers to ocean vessels and airliners; andthat certain plants in her nearby canyon perhaps
don’t “belong” there; reflecting broadly on howwhat we think of as our individual actions areadversely affecting the landscapes all around us.
Jewell helps us see how we must shift our12

own expectations – and do so rapidly – to preserve and protect natural diversity. This is a taleof what we choose to see and what we haven’t
been taught to see; what we choose to seed andwhat we choose not to seed. It proves urgently
that we must reject consumption and cultivate
reverence for the world around us.

The grove, a grouping of trees, intentionally cultivated or found growing wild, has a long
diverse history entwined with human settlement,rural practices and the culture and politics of
cities. A grove can be a memorial, a place oflearning, a site of poetic retreat and philosophy
or political encampment, a public park or theatre,a place of hidden pleasures, a symbol of a vanished forest ecology, or a place of gods or otherspirits. Yet groves are largely absent from ourcontemporary vocabulary and rarely included
in today’s landscape practice, whether urban orrural. Groves are both literal and metaphoricalmanifestations, ways of defining spaces andecologies in our cultural life. Since they can add
meaning to urban forms and ecologies and contribute meaningfully to the significance of place,critical examination is long overdue. The editors

share with a wondrous array of creatures. With
their elaborate immune responses, trees recruit ahost of allies as predators and parasites to defend
against uninvited advances from organisms thatchew on leaves, drain sap, and bore into wood.
Microbial life thrives in the hidden spaces of leaf
scales, twigs, and bark while birds, mammals, andinsects benefit from the more visible resources
trees provide. In return, animals help with pollination, seed dispersal, and recycling of nutrients.
The Hidden Company That Trees Keep blends
marvelous storytelling with beautiful illustrations

Humans have crossed the oceans andtraversed the unknown in search of spice andflavour for thousands of years. Mustard has beenfound at Neolithic sites in Iran, Germany and
Denmark; the Romans’ love affair with black
pepper was insatiable; pepper, saffron, cinnamon, ginger, galangal and grains of paradise
were ordered in large quantities for Richard III’s
coronation feast; and vanilla was credited as
helping 342 eighteenth-century men become‘astonishing lovers’.
Although the Romans had imported black
pepper, and Eastern spices had trickled throughto the West for centuries, it was only after Vasco
da Gama rounded the Cape that huge quantitiesof spices were brought back from India and theFar East, starting vicious trade wars between
the Portuguese, Dutch and English as they
established their colonial empires. Spices camefrom the West too: when Columbus reached theAmericas in the fifteenth century, he broughtback chilies to Europe, and from there they
spread rapidly across the globe.
The book looks at spices from both abotanical and historical perspective, from theiruses and classification to their influence on trade,war and global events. It is the story of how ourpassion for spices helped to change the world.

seeks to answer fundamental questions on
the origins of fashion, challenging Eurocentric
explanations that the emergence of fashion wasa European phenomenon and shows instead thatfashion found early expressions across the globe
well before the age of European colonialism andimperialism. It sheds light on how fashion was experienced in a multitude of ways depending onclass, gender, and race, and despite geographicaldistance, fashion connected populations acrossthe globe. Fashions flowered and were reseeded,through entanglements of empire, forced andvoluntary migration, evolving racial systems, burgeoning sea travel and transcontinental systems.

Disappearing dress codes, customers as
designers and wearable technology; in recent
years the production and function of clothing has
undergone massive change. New manufacturing technologies have brought bespoke design
within reach of many consumers for the first time.
Miniature sensors can turn ordinary garments
into smart devices. And blurring gender roles andclass distinctions point the way towards a more
fluid approach to clothing, fashion and design.
The Future of Clothing offers a truly uniqueguide to the implications of these dramatic shifts
in clothing production and function. Consider
how mass-personalization impacts the luxury
market, the effects of automation on craftsmanship and sustainability, and how artificial
intelligence design may affect individual stylechoices. Academics, entrepreneurs and designers
discuss where these technological and societal

Why do we wear what we wear? To answer
this question, we must go back and unlock thewardrobes of the early 20th Century, when
fashion as we know it was born. In this bookfashion writer Charlie Porter brings us face to facewith six members of the Bloomsbury Group, thecollective of artists and thinkers who were in thevanguard of a social and sartorial revolution. Eachof them offers fresh insight into the constraints
and possibilities of fashion today: from the stifling
repression of E.M. Forster’s top buttons to the creativity of Vanessa Bell’s wayward hems; from thesheer pleasure of Ottoline Morrell’s lavish dresses
to the clashing self-consciousness of Virginia
Woolf’s orange stockings. As Porter carefully
unpicks what they wore and how they wore it, we
see how clothing can be a means of artistic, intellectual and sexual liberation, or, conversely, a tool
for patriarchal control. Travelling through libraries, archives, attics and studios, Porter uncovers
fresh evidence about his subjects, revealing themin an intimate, new light. And, as he is inspired to
begin making his own clothing, his perspective
on fashion – and on life – starts to change. In theend, he shows, we should all ‘bring no clothes,’embracing a new philosophy of living: one which
activates the connections between the way wedress and the way we think, act and love.
