Some rubbings to extremities, scuffings to tips, light crackings to joints, to front hinge of one volume, some chipping to spine heads and tails, else still quite sturdy, and some feel as if they've never been opened.

D. Appleton & Company was an American publishing company founded by Daniel Appleton, who opened a general store which included books. He published his first book in 1831.

It issued the works of contemporary scientists at moderate prices, for example, Herbert Spencer, John Tyndall, Thomas Huxley, Charles Darwin, etc. Medical books formed a special department, and books in the Spanish language for the South American market were a specialty which the firm made its own. In belles lettres and American history, it had a strong list of names among its authors."

Condition: New. v, 282, col photos, line drawings, distribution maps. 300x210mm. HB. NEW. . 2nd edition. This new edition of Whitebeams, Rowans and Service Trees of Britain and Ireland - (BSBI handbook number 14), will be widely welcomed, the original monograph having been out of print for several years.Furthermore, the content has been updated and incorporates the results of recent work by several contributors. The format of the first edition (2010) has been retained, the book being an A4 hardback, but now 282 pages long, and with extensive use of colour photographs and illustrations. There are full accounts of 68 taxa (16 being new to this edition), as well as keys and information on Sorbus history, biology, ecology, cytology, status, conservation and more.As in the previous edition, the monograph is based on morphological and molecular taxonomic studies coupled with extensive field work.Tim Rich, the lead author, has expressed elsewhere that Sorbus is one of the few examples of a detailed study in Britain and Ireland where we have worked out how (most of) the species have evolved, showing how modern taxonomy needs to combine morphology, cytology and DNA.However, despite several attempts in recent years to split the genus Sorbus into subspecies, there is no universal consensus on a single taxonomic framework. In light of this, the authors have continued for practical purposes to follow the most recent British and Irish treatments (Rich et al., 2010; Stace, 2019), treating Sorbus sensu lato as polyphyletic.This well-researched and produced book will be of interest to botanists, conservationists, foresters, arboriculturists and anyone interested in trees.
