Botanical Treasures: Objects from the Herbarium and Library of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh - Softcover
Synopsis
This wonderfully illustrated book is a snapshot of the extensive national collection of botanical books, herbarium specimens and archival material held at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE). With more than three million preserved plant specimens and 70,000 books to choose from, the selection is just a sample of RBGE's treasures, offering a glimpse into this unique collection. From objects that tell tales of daring plant collectors, to specimens of plants now extinct, historical maps and diaries, a letter from Charles Darwin and innovative nature printing techniques, this book showcases an international collection that reflects the rich scientific history of Scotland and is still used every day in RBGE's work to explore, explain and conserve the world of plants. This book won runner up in the Best New Publications category of the Association for Cultural Enterprises Awards 2015.
