Virus Taxonomy


Book Description

The practical need to partition the world of viruses into distinguishable, universally agreed upon entities is the ultimate justification for developing a virus classification system. Since 1971, the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) operating on behalf of the world community of virologists has taken on the task of developing a single, universal taxonomic scheme for all viruses infecting animals (vertebrate, invertebrates, and protozoa), plants (higher plants and algae), fungi, bacteria, and archaea. The current report builds on the accumulated taxonomic construction of the eight previous reports dating back to 1971 and records the proceedings of the Committee since publication of the last report in 2005. Representing the work of more than 500 virologists worldwide, this report is the authoritative reference for virus organization, distinction, and structure.

Seed Purity and Taxonomy


Book Description

Seed Purity and Taxonomy replaces The Handbook of Seed Testing, as the most complete and up-to-date resource of information available on seed identification and seed taxonomy. Seed Purity and Taxonomy contains a comprehensive listing of seeds along with approximately 3,000 black-and-white sketches, photographs, and computer-scanned images of species most likely to be encountered in seed testing laboratories in North America. Internal morphological features of different family groups are also included. These images are complemented with detailed descriptions and numerous dichotomous keys that will help in making definitive identifications.




Victoria Sambunaris


Book Description

For more than a decade, Victoria Sambunaris (born 1964) has crossed the United States with her five-by-seven wooden field camera and sheets of color negative film. Traveling seemingly every road nationwide, Sambunaris has described herself as having "an unrelenting curiosity to understand the American landscape and our place in it." This first monograph on Sambunaris' work consists of two handsome hardback volumes. The first includes a retrospective selection of her images from 2000 to 2013; the second documents the artist's collected professional ephemera as a photographer and researcher. Included in this fascinating assortment of documents are images of books on geology and history, maps, artifacts such as mineral specimens, journals and road logs, as well as her small photographic sketches. An essay from MOCP Director Natasha Egan provides an insightful overview of this ardent chronicler of contemporary America.




The New Taxonomy


Book Description

Finalist for 2009 The Council on Botanical & Horticultural Libraries Literature Award!A Fresh Look at Taxonomy The most fundamental of all biological sciences, taxonomy underpins any long term strategies for reconstructing the great tree of life or salvaging as much biodiversity as possible. Yet we are still unable to say with any certainty how




A Taxonomy of Communication Media


Book Description

This book defines and describes communication media; discusses the difference between information and instruction, instructional media and instructional aids; and proposes a set of criteria by means of which communication media may be distinguished from nonmedia, one medium distinguished from another, and a single medium distinguished from multimedia applications. A two-dimensional classification system for communication media is proposed: in one dimension, seven classes are defined, based on ways of representing information; in the other, communication media are divided into two groups, telemedia and recording media. Twenty-eight specific communication media are defined and described. This list includes the major available and soon-to-be-available media.
