Basic questions of the philosophy of gardens: IDEA Western gardens can be seen as ‘ecotones’ between wilderness and an artificial world, with all its variants and extremes. An important element is the taming of nature. Gardens as an idea Rural women’s garden in Switzerland, Arosa, near 1600m Defense of the paradise Because of a basically different cultural approach, Oriental gardens are of a different type. It is the admiration for a perfect nature, which drives people in creating gardens. Such a history of thought led the oriental people to take keen pleasure in the calm landscape of the remote countryside.

  • Staatliches Museum Für Naturkunde in Stuttgart 1980
    Jh. Ges. Naturkde. WOrttemberg 136. Jahrgang Stuttgart, 15. Dezember 1981 Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde in Stuttgart 1980 A. Überblick Das Jahr 1980 brachte für das Staatliche Museum für Naturkunde in Stutt­ gart den Fortgang der Neubauplanung. Besonders intensiv wurde die vorgese­ hene Ausstellung einheimischer Fossilien planerisch vorbereitet. Im Septem­ ber wurden die Rohbauarbeiten ausgeschrieben. Gleichzeitig ergaben sich jedoch Finanzierungsschwierigkeiten, so daß die Planung im Bereich der Maga­ zine grundlegend überarbeitet werden mußte. Das Ziel war eine Einsparung von mehreren Millionen DM, die Folge die Reduktion der Magazinräume um ca. 28 000 cbm. Daraus folgt, daß der Neubau nur die Abteilungen Geologie, Paläontologie und Mineralogie (mit der Ausstellung einheimischer Fossilien), Entomologie, Stammesgeschichtliche Forschung und Botanik aufnehmen kann. Die Zoologische Abteilung muß deshalb ebenso wie die zoologische Ausstellung weiterhin im Schloß Rosenstein untergebracht werden. Für unpräpariertes Sammlungsgut werden auswärtige Lagerräume benötigt. Trotz dieser Umplanung war weiterhin ein Baubeginn in der 1. Jahreshälfte 1981 vorgesehen. Zusätzlich zum geplanten Neubau im Rosensteinpark wird vom Finanzministerium die Einrichtung einer mineralogischen Ausstellung in einem geplanten Behörden-Neubau in der Stuttgarter Innenstadt erwogen. Im Schloß Rosenstein wurden im Berichtsjahr wiederum fünf größere Son­ derausstellungen gezeigt. Themen und Laufzeiten waren: "Minerallagerstätten des Schwarzwaldes" (bis 10.2.), "Flechten" (21. 2.-1. 6.), "Tierleben im Meer" (12.6.-7.9.), "Der Flug der Tiere" (18.9.-23. 11.) und "Europäische Orchide­ en" (ab 2. 12.). Die letzte Ausstellung wurde in Anwesenheit von Frau HANNE­ LORE SCHMIDT (Bonn) durch den Minister für Wissenschaft und Kunst, Prof. Dr. H. ENGLER, eröffnet. Die Zahl der Besucher im Schloß Rosenstein betrug 209162; sie lag damit um 1,9 % niedriger als im Vorjahr.

  • A List of Orchid Books
    APPENDIX A list of Orchid Books TIM WING YAM, BENJAMIN SINGER, CHOY SIN HEW, TIIU KULL, IRINA TATARENKO, AND JOSEPH ARDITTI 279 280 T.W. Yam et al. Two private libraries, Benjamin Singer’s (which he donated to the American Orchid Society) and Joseph Arditti’s (its future is yet to be decided, it may be donated to an academic or scientific institutions or sold), served as primary sources for this list. However other sources were also used. The use of multiple sources increased the number of books which are listed but may have introduced errors or imperfections for following reasons. One and the same book may have been listed under different names erroneously. Names of authors may have been misspelled. When books have more than one author, the order of authors may have been presented differently in different lists and/or one or more names may have been omitted, added or misspelled. A book may have been published under different names in more than one country. Books are sometimes published by one publisher in one country and another in a different one. Spelling errors in different lists Translations Different editions Lack of information Conventions used in spelling names like “de” and “van.” Erroneous assumptions regarding Chinese surnames. The Chinese traditions is to list surname first, as for example, Yam Tim Wing which may end up incorrectly as Wing, Y. T. in some lists compiled in the West and correctly as T. W. Yam in others. Only the last names of some authors are listed. Some entries listed as books may in fact be no more than reprints.

  • Longevity of Arctic and Alpine Clonal Plants
    Longevity of arctic and alpine clonal plants INAUGURALDISSERTATION zur Erlangung der Würde eines Doktors der Philosophie vorgelegt der Philosophisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Basel von Lucienne Claudine de Witte aus Attinghausen (Schweiz) Basel, 2011 Genehmigt von der Philosophisch-Naturwissenschaftlichen Fakultät auf Antrag von Prof. Dr. Jürg Stöcklin Dr. Pierre Taberlet Basel, den 29. März 2011 Prof. Dr. Martin Spiess Dekan "One of the great biological principles is that the development, adaptation, and survival of living organisms are the results of closing down options. The genome represents the impractical unedited totality of what the organism is capable of. Successful organisms do more than possess, express, and pass on the right genes - they refrain from expressing inappropriate potential. Music provides an analogy. Western music uses the 12 notes of the chromatic scale. Imagine sitting at the keyboard of an organ. Simultaneously hold down the 12 keys corresponding to the chromatic scale. Cease playing 3 minutes later. Within that cacophonous 3 minute block of sound are all possible 3-minute musical works. But "Tea for two" (Tatum 1933) is 3 minutes of musical genius, and why? Overwhelmingly, because of the notes that were not played. So it is with living organisms - the genome is the chromatic scale, the surviving organism is the harmonised musical line. The selectivity that orchestrates expression of genomic potential comprises cellular processes that repress and destroy. Might it not be that ageing is the long-term revelation of these negative, but nonetheless essential, forces that animate the machinery of living matter?" Howard Thomas (2003) Do green plants age, and if so, how? Acknowledgements I wish to thank Jürg Stöcklin for the opportunity to accomplish a challenging PhD in such an interesting field of research.
