An account of the crossing of America from Dodge City to Denver, by an itinierant cowboy, mechanical engineer, amateur naturalist and world traveler, from the perspective of a cowboy's saddle at the end of the 19th century.

This user-friendly and authoritative book will serve scientists, growers, and sightseers as a guide to the 67 genera and 550 species of naturally occurring palms found in the Americas. Its purpose is to give an introduction to the diversity of palms and allow almost anyone to identify a palm from this part of the world. Providing scientifically accurate descriptions and a rich supply of illustrations, including color photos taken in the wild of over 256 species, this guide is extraordinary in its coverage of the plant that has become for many people the symbol of the tropical landscape. Palms are not only aesthetically pleasing, but they also make up an economically and ecologically important family of plants. In industry, for example, the coconut, oil palm, and date palm have a wide and varied use. In the lowland rain forest, palms are usually one of the most abundant and diverse families of plants.Field Guide to the Palms of the Americas will appeal to professional scientists or students working in the tropics-including agronomists, anthropologists, ecologists, entomologists, natural historians, and zoologists-as well as to amateur and professional growers of palms, to ""eco-tourists"" who visit tropical regions, and to inhabitants of these regions who are interested in the native flora.pp. 552, illusts #0921 Elizabeth's Bookshops have been one of Australia's premier independent book dealers since 1973.
