  • Of Dahlia Myths.Pub
    Cavanilles’ detailed illustrations established the dahlia in the botanical taxonomy In 1796, the third volume of “Icones” introduced two more dahlia species, named D. coccinea and D. rosea. They also were initially thought to be sunflowers and had been brought to Spain as part of the Alejandro Malaspina/Luis Neé expedition. More than 600 drawings brought the plant collection to light. Cavanilles, whose extensive correspondence included many of Europe’s leading botanists, began to develop a following far greater than his title of “sacerdote” (priest, in French Abbé) ever would have offered. The A. J. Cavanilles archives of the present‐day Royal Botanical Garden hold the botanist’s sizable oeu‐ vre, along with moren tha 1,300 letters, many dissertations, studies, and drawings. In time, Cavanilles achieved another goal: in 1801, he was finally appointed professor and director of the garden. Regrettably, he died in Madrid on May 10, 1804. The Cavanillesia, a tree from Central America, was later named for this famousMaterial Spanish scientist. ANDERS DAHL The lives of Dahl and his Spanish ‘godfather’ could not have been any more different. Born March 17,1751, in Varnhem town (Västergötland), this Swedish botanist struggled with health and financial hardship throughout his short life. While attending school in Skara, he and several teenage friends with scientific bent founded the “Swedish Topographic Society of Skara” and sought to catalogue the natural world of their community. With his preacher father’s support, the young Dahl enrolled on April 3, 1770, at Uppsala University in medicine, and he soon became one of Carl Linnaeus’ students.

  • Catalogue of Type Specimens 4. Linnaean Specimens
    Uppsala University Museum of Evolution Zoology section Catalogue of type specimens. 4. Linnaean specimens 1 UPPSALA UNIVERSITY, MUSEUM OF EVOLUTION, ZOOLOGY SECTION (UUZM) Catalogue of type specimens. 4. Linnaean specimens The UUZM catalogue of type specimens is issued in four parts: 1. C.P.Thunberg (1743-1828), Insecta 2. General zoology 3. Entomology 4. Linnaean specimens (this part) Unlike the other parts of the type catalogue this list of the Linnaean specimens is heterogenous in not being confined to a physical unit of material and in not displaying altogether specimens qualifying as types. Two kinds of links connect the specimens in the list: one is a documented curatorial tradition referring listed material to collections handled and described by Carl von Linné, the other is associated with the published references by Linné to literary or material sources for which specimens are available in the Uppsala University Zoological Museum. The establishment of material being 'Linnaean' or not (for the ultimate purpose of a typification) involves a study of the history of the collections and a scrutiny of individual specimens. An important obstacle to an unequivocal interpretation is, in many cases, the fact that Linné did not label any of the specimens included in the present 'Linnaean collection' in Uppsala (at least there are no surviving labels or inscriptions with his handwriting or referable to his own marking of specimens; a single exception will be pointed out below in the historical survey). A critical examination must thus be based on the writings of Linné, a consideration of the relation between between these writings and the material at hand, and finally a technical and archival scrutiny of the curatorial arrangements that have been made since Linné's time.

  • Today However the Abundance of Material Has Made It the Most Extensive of All the Sciences
    It is my pleasure here to take Botany as my special study, which was previously the knowledge of a few plants; today however the abundance of material has made it the most extensive of all the sciences. Linnaeus (Preface and Dedication to Species Plantarum 1753) An Evaluation of the ROles of Botanic Gardens in Recreation and Conservation by Anne Therese Pickering Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Town and Country Planning, University of Newcastle upon Tyne 1992 NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 092 50588 5 ---T-t-N42s. s 1.-‘4-01-4.1 ARC e a (i) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to acknowledge the assistance of Dr. K.G. Willis and Mr. G. Garrod in calculating the Economic Recreation Benefits described in Chapter 7. I am most grateful to them for their help and interest. Results from this work have been produced in a working paper (Garrod, Pickering and Willis, 1991). I would also like to acknowledge and thank all the members of the public and the staff of botanic gardens who contributed to this research by answering questionnaires and supplying assistance and data. In addition I would like to acknowledge the help and support of my family, friends and supervisor Dr. J.F. Benson. ABSTRACT Botanic gardens in the United Kingdom have a number of different origins and their ownership and financial status is diverse. Most are funded and managed through Universities though some are run by National or Local Government or by charitable or private organizations. Whilst they share a number of characteristics they are diverse in location, aims, objectives and facilities provided.

  • Vol 18, No 3, July
    THE LINNEAN 2002 VOLUME 18 I Editorial In our last issue we introduced the contentious subject of creationism by publishing a lecture given by the late Colin Patterson which was primarily about cladistics as a method for classification, but was, unfortunately, taken by anti-evolutionists to support their cause. In response, a good deal of correspondence has been received by The Linnean, some of which is reproduced in this issue, along with articles by Randy Moore and John Cloudsley-Thompson which defend the evolutionary view. More will be included in subsequent issues, as will the lecture given by Professor Dawkins when last year he unveiled a plaque commemorating the Darwin-Wallace lecture of 1858. In this issue we note how, throughout the United States, anti-evolutionists presently undermine the teaching of science by villifying evolution and demanding time in the schools to teach “creation science” and “intelligent design”. Much of the impetus for the movement against evolution was intitiated in 1925 when a Tennessee Democratic congressman and lay preacher named John Butler proposed a law which stated: “It shall be unlawful for any teacher in any of the universities, normals, and in all other public schools of the State, which are supported in whole or in any part by the public school funds of the State, to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of Man as taught in the Bible, and to teach that man has descended from a lower order of animals.” The bill passed in the House, seventy-one to five and in the Senate, twenty-four to six, and the Governor, a Southern Baptist, signed it into law on the 2 1st March 1925.

Abstract Lymeus, F. 2019. Mindfulness training supported by a restorative natural setting. Integrating individual and environmental approaches to the management of adaptive resources. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Social Sciences 171. 159 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-513-0735-0. This thesis integrates restorative environments research and mindfulness research: two disparate but related approaches to managing the demands of modern living. Both offer ways to improve attention regulation by detaching from routine mental contents and engaging with present experience. However, restoration works bottom-up, from supportive environmental features, while mindfulness meditation works top-down, through effortful training. Complementarities between the two are the foundations of restoration skills training (ReST), a five-week mindfulness-based course that uses mindful sensory exploration in a natural setting to build a meditative state effortlessly. As in conventional mindfulness training (CMT), ReST involves a learning structure to teach versatile adaptive skills.

  • Still Lifes, Botanical Illustrations, and Garden Design in Seventeenth-Century Sweden: A
    Still Lifes, Botanical Illustrations, and Garden Design in Seventeenth-Century Sweden: A Geo-History of Art Elisabeth Knall Department of Art History and Communication Studies McGill University, Montreal January 2020 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © Elisabeth Knall, 2020 ii ABSTRACT This dissertation investigates how a growing interest in flowers and plants during the seventeenth century was shared and expressed by artists, scientists, horticulturists, patrons, and estate owners. The focus is on cultural production in Sweden and I argue that information on artistic developments as well as knowledge of botanical discoveries between this Scandinavian country and other parts of the world were shared more frequently and more extensively than has been generally suggested. The thesis’ premise is that both painters and patrons participated in multidirectional geographic travels, and that artistic exchanges were not dictated by national borders. This dissertation consequently contributes to an increased interest within the field of art history in widespread circulation of artistic forms and knowledge. In addition, topics traditionally considered marginal in art-historical discourse, such as scientific illustrations and garden design, are analyzed with the aim of bringing attention to the interactions between different areas of artistic production. This thesis does not subscribe to symbolic readings of still lifes or interpretive parameters based on a perceived domination by a few national schools of art. Instead, this dissertation brings attention to the exciting prospect of new insights obtained through an openness to alternative analytical approaches. The introduction explores the reasons behind a noticeable surge in cultural production in Sweden during the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, including the importance of Gothicism and the country’s participation in the Thirty Years’ War.
