A globe-trotting, behind-the-scenes look at the dazzling world of flowers and the fascinating industry it has created. Award-winning author Amy Stewart takes readers on an around-the-world, behind-the-scenes look at the flower industry and how it has sought—for better or worse—to achieve perfection. She tracks down the hybridizers, geneticists, farmers, and florists working to invent, manufacture, and sell flowers that are bigger, brighter, and sturdier than anything nature can provide. There's a scientist intent on developing the first genetically modified blue rose; an eccentric horticultural legend who created the most popular lily; a breeder of gerberas of every color imaginable; and an Ecuadorean farmer growing exquisite roses, the floral equivalent of a Tiffany diamond. And, at every turn she discovers the startling intersection of nature and technology, of sentiment and commerce.

This book features where and when you can find 300 different species of wildflowers, flowering shrubs and small trees along the 14 most popular trails in the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. It provides not only descriptions of the flowers but why it populates that specific ecological niche, how it differs from related species, the month(s) it can be found, and its relationships to its genus and family. Along with the written descriptions, color illustrations accompany the text adjacent to its description. These are rendered in sufficient detail for easy identification. The location of each wildflower will be specified by distance from the trailhead, distance from before and after prominent landmarks, and elevation. These descriptions and the accompanying illustrations will allow you to locate and identify almost all the wildflowers in the Gorge. In addition, sidebars accompany the text in all chapters explaining botanical information in general but non-technical language, thus providing additional information about not only the science of these ecosystems but also the reasons why any particular flower or its family dwells in that particular location.

Drawn from the acclaimed New Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics, the articles in this concise new reference book provide a complete survey of the poetic history and practice in every major national literature or cultural tradition in the world. As with the parent volume, which has sold over 10,000 copies since it was first published in 1993, the intended audience is general readers, journalists, students, teachers, and researchers. The editor's principle of selection was balance, and his goal was to embrace in a structured and reasoned way the diversity of poetry as it is known across the globe today. In compiling material on 106 cultures in 92 national literatures, the book gives full coverage to Indo-European poetries (all the major Celtic, Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages, as well as other obscure ones such as Hittite), the ancient middle Eastern poetries (Hebrew, Persian, Sumerian, and Assyro-Babylonian), subcontinental Indian poetries (the widest linguistic diversity), Asian and Pacific poetries (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Mongolian, and half a dozen others), continental American poetries (all the modern Western cultures and native Indian in North, Central, and South American regions), and African poetries (ancient and emergent, oral and written).
