A chronicle of the American experience during World War I and the unexpected changes that rocked the country in its immediate aftermath—the Red Scare, race riots, women’s suffrage, and Prohibition. The Great War’s bitter outcome left the experience largely overlooked and forgotten in American history. This timely book is a reexamination of America’s first global experience as we commemorate World War I's centennial. The U.S. had steered clear of the European conflagration known as the Great War for more than two years, but President Woodrow Wilson reluctantly led the divided country into the conflict with the goal of making the world “safe for democracy.” The country assumed a global role for the first time and attempted to build the foundations for world peace, only to witness the experience go badly awry and it retreated into isolationism. Though overshadowed by the tens of millions of deaths and catastrophic destruction of World War II, the Great War was the most important war of the twentieth century. It was the first continent-wide conflagration in a century, and it drew much of the world into its fire. By the end of it, four empires and their royal houses had fallen, communism was unleashed, the map of the Middle East was redrawn, and the United States emerged as a global power – only to withdraw from the world’s stage. The Great War is often overlooked, especially compared to World War II, which is considered the “last good war.” The United States was disillusioned with what it achieved in the earlier war and withdrew into itself. Americans have tried to forget about it ever since. The Great War in America presents an opportunity to reexamine the country’s role on the global stage and the tremendous political and social changes that overtook the nation because of the war.

Shakespeare lived when knowledge of plants and their uses was a given, but also at a time of unique interest in plants and gardens.His lifetime saw the beginning of scientific interest in plants, the first large-scale plant introductions from outside the country since Roman times, and the beginning of gardening as a leisure activity. Shakespeare's works show that he engaged with this new world to illuminate so many facets of his plays and poems. This dictionary offers a complete companion to Shakespeare's references to landscape, plants and gardens, including both formal and rural settings.It covers plants and flowers, gardening terms, and the activities that Shakespeare included within both cultivated and uncultivated landscapes as well as encompassing garden imagery in relation to politics, the state and personal lives. Each alphabetical entry offers an definition and overview of the term discussed in its historical context, followed by a guided tour of its use in Shakespeare's works and finally an extensive bibliography, including primary and secondary sources, books and articles.

植物會說話。 他們也有迷人的生命故事。 你不信？蹲下來，路旁的葉子看仔細， 你，就會發現這個祕密。 打開這本書，猶如進入最精彩的自然科學課堂，讓你聽見植物的故事。 你或許看過雞蛋花，但你可知道原來雞蛋花竟然可防頭蝨？作者張文亮教授細訴母親的兒時回憶：「將雞蛋花採下，放在水中揉一揉。等花浸入水中一陣子，用這水洗頭髮，就不會長頭蝨，頭髮也會散發出淡淡的香味。」後來他讀了《人文植物學》，方知母親說法正確，因雞蛋花的白色乳汁有輕微毒性，能抑制頭蝨的蟲卵與蚊子幼蟲。 每年七月便盛開的鳳凰木，你或許知道也被稱為「火樹」或「畢業樹」；但你可知道，鳳凰花是大地的溫度計，每年開花季都稍有不同，只要天氣一轉熱，花朵就盛開；而且鳳凰葉對空氣中的酸性氣體非常敏感，遇到酸雨便落葉，可說是讓廠家自我檢視工廠排氣的大自然指標。 本書細述台灣常見植物所蘊藏的自然生活智慧。原來，從大王椰子、杜鵑、木麻黃、樟樹、白千層到朴樹、阿勃勒等十餘種花草樹木身上，我們可以學習的事情是這麼多。 學生曾問：「校園裡為什麼要種許多的植物？」 河馬教授說：「因為，植物是教育無聲的教具。」 學生又問：「為什麼人要認識植物呢？」 河馬教授又說：「因為，植物能幫助人認識自己。」 本書在細數植物風華的同時，作者更不吝於分享他從一花、一草、一木中所習得的人生智慧。 「觀察植物的空閒，可以成為個人檢查生活病態與否的溫度計……喜愛植物的人，較不會有一張難看的臉……親近大自然，就是最佳的美容術。」 「我最喜歡大王椰子葉子的葉尖下垂，下垂幅度剛好可承受到黃昏的餘暉，連落日前的光照，他都要珍惜，取來進行光合作用。大王椰子擁有這些好本領，卻不喧嚷，默默的被人當做行道樹看待，具有這種謙遜的個性，更配稱『大王』。」張文亮教授讚嘆：「真正的感動，不在大聲疾呼，而在默默站立；真正的持守，不再揮動高崗頂的軍旗，而是扎根到土壤的深處。」 從鳥類愛吃卻不易消化的茄苳種子，也教了他做為一位傳遞知識的老師，有時課程內容不一定要煮得稀爛，因為「學生一時不易消化，卻能引發思考，讓人帶著問題去成長。」 還有，作者也回憶在1979年秋天，跟著指導教授徐玉標老師南下開會時所說，影響他一生的一句話：「一個唸科學的人，要把做火車，視為觀察自然環境最好的機會之一。」因為觀察遠山能分辨天氣，看各地土壤顏色可推測土地形成，看河川水流，可知上游的水土保持……「看火車窗外的景致，收穫往往超過一張火車票的價值！」 熱愛大自然的「植物詩人」張文亮教授，透過一則又一則的故事提醒我們：「大自然就是最好的教材，所有的知識與智慧，就寫在植物上。」 本書特色 「金鼎獎」「好書大家讀」暢銷作者，在台灣大學開設最受學生歡迎的自然科學通識課。 台大第一屆優良導師，人稱「教育工程師」的「河馬教授」張文亮，以科學人之眼，教育人之心，娓娓細訴根植於綠色大地的生命體悟。 在台大設備最好的博雅大樓103教室中，有一門配備了5名助教的自然科學通識課，授課大綱雖是以「植物」為主角，課程內容卻不僅僅止於介紹植物分類分布、根莖葉物理構造、或空氣的光合作用而已。 被學生暱稱為「河馬教授」的台大第一屆優良導師張文亮，是位極會說自然科學故事的教育與人文關懷者。透過日常生活經常「遇見」、卻不曾真正用心「看見」的16種植物，不僅讓修課學生、旁聽人士重新體會到植物的自然與人文之美，更讓身邊的一花一草一木，成為連結「生命教育」的重要媒介－－無論是省視「自我」成長歷程，了解鄉土「人民」生活，關切文明社會中如何保有自然「環境」，或是如何與逆境中的「生命」真誠對話……原來，在生命與生命的交會裡，植物，是我們最好的老師。 本書是在大學殿堂中備受學生肯定的教授，禮讚大自然神奇與抒發教育關懷的肺腑之作，不僅成人、親師讀來深有感觸，作者流暢幽默的筆觸，也總是能吸引學生讀者在渾然未覺中踏入自然科學殿堂。尤其作者長年於《國語日報》撰寫專欄，其連載集結的〈草上飛〉系列故事，受到無數小讀者喜愛，可說是科學童書領域的長青樹。 讓我們跟著河馬教授張文亮，一同走進豐富的植物世界，探索它們的生命故事，帶著孩子接近你我習以為常的大自然，培養對生命的尊重與愛，使我們的一生過得更豐富、有趣且有意義！ ◎金鼎獎好書作者最新力作：作者已出版三十餘本著作，屢次榮獲「行政院新聞局金鼎獎」與「好書大家讀」等多種獎項。 ◎兼具科普知識與人文關懷：翻閱此書，猶如坐上植物的演化時空機。除從植物特色、構造、地理分布等角度介紹十餘種植物外，更從植物的歷史文化、植物蘊涵的人生智慧、以及尊重自然的生態工程等角度導覽植物。 ◎「張文亮話教育」專欄，體現作者與生命成長的對話：書中附專欄方塊文章，摘錄作者個人的教育歷程與對學習的看法。由於作者本身的求學歷程亦十分曲折，對教育工作者而言尤具啟迪作用。 ◎「打開植物大書」專欄，啟動自然環境與學習的連結：作者猶如一位「植物詩人」，對這群大地的綠色友人總是有著發自內心的讚嘆。透過書中所附專欄，讓讀者得以跟著作者腳步，一起學習如何觀察植物、理解自然。 ◎一窺最高學府的精采課程精髓：本書源於作者在台大網路開放式課程「自然科學概論」的上課內容，以及課後作者自編的《台大地下刊物》延伸閱讀內容彙整而成。閱讀此書，猶如踏入一門大學的精彩通識課堂，深具知識與啟發性。

The definitive, one-stop reference to the history of landscape architecture-now expanded and revised This revised edition of Landscapes in History features for the first time new information-rarely available elsewhere in the literature-on landscape architecture in India, China, Southeast Asia, and Japan.
