Sinossi
David Douglas was one of the most important botanical collectors of all time. Thanks to his heroic, often unimaginably arduous explorations, during which he collected and discovered more than 200 species, forests and gardens are immeasurably richer. Not only is the Douglas fir named after him, but conifers such as the Sitka spruce, the Grand and Noble firs, and the Monterey pine were introduced to Britain by him. Douglas, who grew up near Perth, Scotland, studied at the Botanical Gardens in Glasgow under William Hooker, the greatest botanist of the 19th century. He made his name through his remarkable excursions of western Canada?once walking nearly 10,000 miles between the Pacific coast and Hudson Bay.

The tree collector: the life and explorations of David Douglas
Da: Acanthophyllum Books, Holywell, FLINT, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 3 su 5 stelle
Paper covers. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. A rather pedestrian biography of a great botanical pedestrian and canoeist, whose travels in North America brought a major haul of new plant introductions to British gardens and whose discoveries of new trees were legendary. Douglas perished under dubious circumstances in Hawaii, gaining him semi-mythical status as the archetypal backwoodsman. Though this is a good paperback read, William Morwood's "Traveler in a vanished landscape" (1973) provides a more insightful treatment. x, 246 pp., 8 pp. of monochrome photographs. Weight: 1.0 Language: English Paperback edition with new appendix, first published in 1999 as "David Douglas, explorer and botanist". Codice articolo 44533
