This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...ovary in such a manner that the sepals and petals are attached to its upper part. Such flowers are said to be superior, and the ovary is inferior. In flowers like those of the peach, cherry, blackberry, and bean the calyx is attached to the base of the pistil. These flowers are inferior, and the ovary is superior. Fruits developed from inferior ovaries contain part of the receptacle and calyx. Those developed from superior ovaries do not contain any part of the calyx but may contain a part of the receptacle. The flesh of fleshy fruits is eaten by birds and animals. The seeds are often bitter, and are usually not eaten. If they are they usually pass through the body undigested. The seeds of many berries are scattered over wide areas in this way by birds. In your walks through the country note the large number of plants bearing fleshy fruits that are found along fence rows. How did they get there? The Simple Fleshy Fruits may be discussed under five heads as follows: berry, pepo, hesperidium, pome, and drupe. Berries, botanically speaking, are of two kinds: those that contain part of the calyx; as the gooseberry, currant, huckleberry, and banana; and those that do not contain any part of the calyx; as the tomato, grape, and persimmon. The berry is rather thin skinned, and contains several or many seeds. It is usually a fleshy, compound or many loculed ovary. The pepo occurs in the family Cucurbitace: and includes the following: cucumbers, melons, gourds, squashes, and pumpkins. It results from the development of an inferior ovary; and may be solid as in the watermelon, or hollow as in the muskmelon. The hesperidium is a thick-walled, many-carpelled ovary. Oranges and lemons are examples. Both the pepo and hesperidium are special...

Book Description
Excerpt from Civic Biology: A d104book of Problems, Local and National, That Can Be Solved Only by Civic Cooperation Cooperative good will is the essential idea in civic biology, as it is in the progress of civilization itself. This means that eivio biology consists of all those problems Whose solution requires cooperative effort. In the nature of the case we cannot control many of the forces'of living nature by any amount of uncoordinated individual effort, any more than we can turn back the ocean tides by haphazard sweeping with brooms. The problem of civic biology, therefore, is to make it possible for everyone to know what these forces are, for good or for ill, and to understand how to do his part for his own good and for that of the community. Cooperative build ing of the defenses offers our only hope of success, and our education needs to be so? Organized that every citizen shall know enough to stop a breach the instant he sees it.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Inland Waters: An Elementary d104 Book of Fresh-Water Biology for American Students The study of water life, which is today the special province of the science of limnology*, had its beginning in the remote unchronicled past. Limnology is a modern name; but many limnological phenomena were known of old. The congregating of fishes upon their spawning beds, the emergence of swarms of May - flies from the rivers, the cloudlike flight of midges over the marshes, and even the water bloom spreading as a filmy mantle of green over the still surface of the lake such things could not escape the notice of the most casual observer. Two of the plagues of Egypt were limnological phenomena; the plague of frogs, and the plague of the rivers that were turned to blood.

Book Description
not lie in the conceptual distinctions but in the perceived functions of metaphors and whether in the concrete case they are judged positive or negative. The ongoing debates reflect these concerns quite clearly~ namely that metaphors are judged on the basis of supposed dangers they pose and opportunities they offer. These are the criteria of evaluation that are obviously dependent on the context in which the transfer of meaning occurs. Our fundamental concern is indeed the transfer itself~ its prospects and its limits. Looking at possible functions of metaphors is one approach to under standing and elucidating sentiments about them. The papers in this volume illustrate, by quite different examples, three basic functions of metaphors: illustrative, heuristic~ and constitutive. These functions rep resent different degrees of transfer of meaning. Metaphors are illustrative when they are used primarily as a literary device, to increase the power of conviction of an argument, for example. Although the difference between the illustrative and the heuristic function of metaphors is not great, it does exist: metaphors are used for heuristic purposes whenever "differences" of meaning are employed to open new perspectives and to gain new insights. In the case of "constitutive" metaphors they function to actually replace previous meanings by new ones. Sabine Maasen in her paper introduces the distinction between transfer and transforma tion.
