The Digital Diaspore Atlas of the Netherlands is the successor of the Digital Seed Atlas of the Netherlands, following new insights into the phylogenetic classification of the angiosperms as incorporated in APG IV, with updated terminology for the description of diaspores, and superb quality photographs. The atlas is also used in professional training courses for seed technologists.
This handbook is a completely revised version of the first edition, which was published in 2012. Plant palaeoecologists use data from plant fossils and plant subfossils to reconstruct ecosystems and food economies of the past. This book deals with the study of subfossil plant material retrieved from archaeological excavations and cores dated to the Late Glacial and the Holocene. One of the main objectives of this book is to describe the processes that underlie the formation of the archaeobotanical archive and the ultimate composition of the archaeobotanical record - being the data that are sampled and identified from this immense archive.
Unendo i dati già noti con i risultati delle recenti campagne archeologiche, è stata sviluppata una ricerca focalizzata sullo specifico aspetto delle vie di comunicazione e sulle dinamiche insediative lungo le pendici occidentali del cratere Albano.
Combining data from recent excavation campaigns and legacy data, this research focuses on the specific topics of the communication routes and settlement dynamics on the western slopes of the Alban crater.

The papers in this volume discuss, from various perspectives, the engagement of the ancient novels with their predecessors and aim to identify and interpret the resonances, of different degrees of closeness, of those texts (Homeric epics, traditional and nuptial poetry, the historiographical tradition, Greek theatre, Latin love elegy and pantomime) as elements of an intertextual and metadiscursive play.
The taxonomic and ecological identification of individual seeds and fruits of wild and cultivated plants is not always straightforward. This book helps you to get started, and also serves as a basis for further identification. This handbook is a completely revised version of the first edition, which was published in 2013. An important adaptation relates to new developments in plant taxonomy and the classification of fruits and diaspores. The number of plant families has been extended from 19 to 30.
The collection of essays assembled in this volume addresses the models of divine and practical wisdom in some of the earlier Arabic prose texts passed down to us. All essays were initially presented and discussed at an international conference held at the Freie Universität Berlin in October 2014.

This book provides an overview of technological uses of plants from the Palaeolithic to the Post-Medieval period.
