New Publications from UC Herbarium Researchers
Co-authored by UC/JEPS researchers Dan Norris and Jim Shevock, with famed macro-photographers Bill and Nancy Malcom. This book is a work of art as well as of science, and is available from the California Native Plant Society. The book features easy-to-read descriptions of each species, as well as spectacular photos of habitats, reproductive structures, and high-quality color micrographs of key morphological features. Available from the
Edited by UC researcher Momei Chen, this book features the ancient redwood lineages in both China and the United States, and provides scientific material in both Chinese and English. The book bridges language and cultural barriers and will hopefully focus public attention on these endangered trees in both countries. |
