The extraordinary palm: diverse and prolific, symbolic and often sacred, essential and exotic (and at times erotic), exploited and controversial. The signature greenery of the tropics and subtropics, these record-breaking plants produce the world’s biggest and heaviest seed, the longest leaf, and the longest stem. In the superbly illustrated, similarly extraordinary Palm, Fred Gray portrays the immense cultural and historical significance of these iconic and controversial plants, unfurling a tale as long and beguiling as their bladed fronds. As Gray shows, palms sustained rainforest communities for thousands of years, contributing to the development of ancient civilizations across the globe. But as palms gained mystical and religious significance, they also became a plant of abstractions and fantasies, a contradictory symbol of leisure and luxury, of escaping civilization and getting closer to nature—and at times to danger and devastation. In the era of industry and empire, the palm and its myriad meanings were exported to far colder climes. Palms were shown off as exceptional performers in iconic greenhouses and used to clothe, romanticize, and glamorize an astonishing diversity of new places far from their natural homelands. And today, as millions of people worldwide consume palm oil daily, the plant remains embedded in consumer society—and mired in environmental controversy.

Cathedrals of Learning: Great and Ancient Universities of Western Europe provides a conspectus of the great Western European universities, pithily tells their life stories, showcases their architectural heritage, and describes the art, literary, and natural history collections they have accumulated over the centuries.

O presente catálogo reúne 40 desenhos relativos ao Jardim Botânico da Universidade de Coimbra, fundado pelos Estatutos de 1772, mas que por vicissitudes várias viu a sua construção prolongada no tempo, tendo sido o último dos empreendimentos da reforma pombalina a ser concluído. Os desenhos (plantas, alçados e perfis), 35 dos quais inéditos e agora dados à estampa, permitem acompanhar o percurso das obras realizadas no jardim, desde o século xviii até meados do século xx. Da autoria de Macomboa, José do Couto, Neves e Mello e Cottinelli Telmo, por exemplo, os desenhos, nem todos assinados e datados, oferecem um novo olhar sobre o processo de construção do Jardim Botânico da UC, as soluções arquitetónicas projetadas e as realizadas, no diálogo entre as componentes artística e científica. Complementarmente aos desenhos sumptuosos até agora conhecidos, estes são, maioritariamente, documentos com notas e apontamentos de trabalho, estudos e projetos de uso corrente, que ficaram guardados na “gaveta do jardineiro”.

يجسد غراي في هذا الكتاب الذي يضم مجموعة هائلة من الصور الرائعة، الأهمية الثقافية والتاريخية لنباتات النخيل، التي لعبت دوراً حاسماً في دعم الشعوب الأصلية في المناطق الاستوائية وشبه الاستوائية، موطن الغالبية العظمى لأنواع النخيل، وكذلك تطوير الحضارات القديمة في جميع أنحاء العالم. ويستعرض الكتاب كيفية اكتشاف الغرب للنخيل، وهي عملية استغرقت مئات السـنوات، وكيف استفادت الرأسـمالية من النخيل بطرق جديدة وغير عادية وباتت زيوت النخيل عنصراً أساسياً في المنتجات الاستهلاكية الحديثة. بيد أنه مع اكتساب النخيل أهمية صوفية ودينية، فقد أصبح هذا النبـات رمزاً للأفكار التجريديـة والخيالات، ورمزاً متناقضاً للترفيه والترف، وملاذاً للهروب من الحضارة والاقتراب من الطبيعة، ولكن في بعض الأحيان يرمز أيضاً إلى الخطر والدمار.

Modeled on Fitzroy Dearborn's highly successful International Dictionary of Historic Places , the International Dictionary of University Histories provides basic information on 200 institutions--location, description, sources of further information--followed by an extensive 3000 to 5000 word essay on each university's history. Entries on each university conclude with a Further Reading list, and most entries are illustrated. Coverage is world-wide, and entries range from the great medieval institutions (Oxford, Heidelberg, the Sorbonne) to the great historic universities of the United States, to the newer universities of Australia and South Africa, to the lesser-known universities of India, China, and Japan. More than 200 writers, researchers and archival departments of the universities themselves have contributed to the Dictionary . Entries include those universities with the most fascinating histories and those that have played important roles in the development of their own countries and in the furtherance of world scholarship.
