Excerpt from The Distribution of Vegetation in the United States, as Related to Climatic Conditions The differences in plant life which exist between distant or even between nearby localities must have come under the notice of man in the earliest semicivilized stages of his existence. Human dependence upon the products of the vegetable kingdom has served to maintain throughout all historic time a vivid realization of the vegetational differences encountered with changes of latitude, altitude, and proximity to the sea. The later stages of modern civilization have done extremely little to liberate man from his dependence upon plants, although the development of methods for the preservation and transportation of food has given him greater freedom of movement into the jungle, the polar regions, the desert, and the modern city. Many of the activities of the last 150 years have been such as to increase our interest in the distribution of plants and in the nature of the plant populations which characterize different regions, different soils, or different topographic situations. Innumerable bands of explorers and collectors have penetrated all parts of the world, bringing back materials upon which we have been able to base a knowledge of the flora and the larger aspects of the vegetation of all but the most inaccessible portions of the globe. The extensive introduction of economic and ornamental plants into new regions and even into new continents has awakened an interest in the possibility of still further introductions and in a study of the causes of the success or failure of such as have been made. The increasing value of all the products of the forest has led to the planting of trees on a large scale within their native regions and to the experimental introduction of trees from distant countries, as well as to attempts to improve natural forest stands. The increasing population of the world has augmented the value of its agricultural lands and has given importance to the study of the properties of the soil in their relation to plants. The search for new agricultural regions and for crop plants adapted to the conditions in newly settled areas has led to an interest in natural plant growth as an index of the most promising soils or of the most suitable crops to be cultivated. Hand in hand with this widening utilization of the plant products of the world has gone a rapid development of the scientific study of plants in relation to their natural environment. During the first half of the nineteenth century there was a rapid accumulation of facts regarding the composition of the floras of the outlying portions of the earth, and these facts were almost as rapidly marshaled into an ordered knowledge of the great floristic regions. In this immense task the names of Humboldt, Schouw, Grisebach, de Candolle, Hooker, and Engler are intimately associated with the greatest accomplishments.

Foundations of Biogeography provides facsimile reprints of seventy-two works that have proven fundamental to the development of the field. From classics by Georges-Louis LeClerc Compte de Buffon, Alexander von Humboldt, and Charles Darwin to equally seminal contributions by Ernst Mayr, Robert MacArthur, and E. O. Wilson, these papers and book excerpts not only reveal biogeography's historical roots but also trace its theoretical and empirical development. Selected and introduced by leading biogeographers, the articles cover a wide variety of taxonomic groups, habitat types, and geographic regions. Foundations of Biogeography will be an ideal introduction to the field for beginning students and an essential reference for established scholars of biogeography, ecology, and evolution.

Excerpt from The Climates of the United States Bureau and also by many individual Observers and students. Secondly, I cannot help hoping that in spite Of all that has been accomplished this volume may stimulate further research along similar lines. The faithful work of the meteorological observer, day after day and year after year, lays the foundation stones of climatology. Upon such records our knowledge Of climate must be based. The advancement of our science, how ever, greatly needs, in addition, the enthusiastic devotion and hard work of intelligent students who will observe and describe local climatic conditions and phenomena and thereby enrich and enliven our knowledge of our country's climates.

From humble beginnings as a small desert laboratory in Tucson, Arizona, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the Carnegie Institution's Department of Plant Biology has evolved into a thriving international center of plant molecular biology that sits today on the campus of Stanford University. This fourth in a series of five histories of the Carnegie Institution touches on the tangled beginnings of ecology, the baroque complexities of photosynthesis, the great mid-century evolutionary synthesis and the adventurous start of the plant molecular revolution.

Excerpt from A First Report on the Relations Between Climates and Crops Sir: I have the honor to submit the manuscript of a first report, by Prof. Cleveland Abbe, on the Relations Between Climates and Crops, and to recommend its publication as a bulletin of the Weather Bureau. This paper is not designed as an original investigation, but as a summary of the views of the best experimentalists and observers, so far as those had been published up to 1891. A continuation of this study, bringing the subject up to date, is contemplated: but as the publication of this first portion has been frequently requested, it seems wise not to delay. The author has intended to notice only those investigations that have given precise information as to specific plants or crops and specific localities, and has made a thorough search of all the more important literature, in so far as it was accessible to him: it is believed that the numerous extracts given by him will be gratefully received by those who have not access to the same volumes. The work is prepared with the idea that it will be especially useful to the teachers of the agricultural colleges and the investigators of the agricultural experiinent stations. Therefore only a limited edition is recommended. As the memoir points out the importance of a climatic laboratory and the methods that must be pursued in order to evolve new varieties of crop plants adapted to social climatic conditions, I can but consider that you will recognize this memoir as a proper contribution to agriculture from the Weather Bureau.
