Ronald O. Kapp's
Pollen and Spores
PREFACE TO THE
SECOND EDITION
"How to Know Pollen
and Spores" by Ron Kapp was published in 1969, by William C. Brown
Publishers, DUbuque, Iowa. The volume quickly became a standard
reference for the identification of auatemary pollen and it has remained
one of America's favorite palynology texts, particUlarly among beginning
students. Certainly, a primary attraction is the clarity and simplicity
of its illustrations. drawn primarily by Rick Hall, then a student at
Alma College, where Ron Kapp spent his academic career. Kapp credited
Rick with "all illustrations except those offungal spores," but Kapp's
initials can also be seen on some illustrations.
Kapp planned a revised
edition that he began in 1985; however, this was cut short by his
untimely death in March of 1990. With this edition. King and Davis have
endeavored to continue the clarity and simplicity of Kapp's work while
updating and correcting the text. Their goal is to provide an
inexpensive introduction and guide to an area to which they are devoted,
in hopes of continuing Ron's work and advancing the remarkable field of
palynology.
Some conventions
introduced in the second edition include a consistent format for each
taxon's of Latin binomial, followed by "CN" common name, SIZE in
micrometers (JIm), (geographical) RANGE, and NOTES. Keys to several
groups have been expanded and the literature has been updated to reflect
the many advances in palynology since the original 1969 edition.
Many palynologists
have provided suggestions and ideas for this edition, which have been
incorporated wherever practical. Students over the years have provided
invaluable insights through their questions and comments, we thank them
all. And we are particularly thankful for the efforts of Phil Jenkins,
of the University of Arizona Herbarium, who edited the plant taxonomic
nomenclature in this text. We gratefully acknowledge the technical
support of several persons in preparing this Second Edition, inclUding
Philip D. Jenkins, Jo Ann Overs, and Becky Meyers.
Richard C. Hall is a
medical illustrator whose office is near Jim King's.
Richard and his
students Terence Condrich, and Ross Papalardo, repaired many of his
original drawings, and produced several new ones.

| William Charles Cotton MA 1813 - 1879 Priest, Missionary and Bee Master by Arthur R Smith In the belief it would make a good story, ten years ago Arthur Smith began his investigations into the life of William Charles Cotton. Now after meticulous research, he has produced a detailed and colourful account of this remarkable man. In 1841 Cotton decided, against his father's wishes, to go with George Selwyn, who had just been appointed as the first Bishop of New Zealand. The book contains detailed descriptions of their five months voyage, their first three years at the Waimate Mission Station and then their struggle to establish new headquarters at Tamaki, near Auckland. When Cotton returned to England in 1848, his life was fraught with problems and the next nine years are something of a mystery. In 1855 his health was sufficiently restored for him to become a curate at St Mary Redcliffe in Bristol. Eighteen months later he was appointed Vicar of Frodsham, Cheshire where he served for 22 years, though dogged by ill health. In many ways he was a clever and accomplished man - he gained first class honours in Classics at Oxford, he wrote a number of books on beekeeping, he could ride a horse, row or sail a boat and undertook numerous expeditions in New Zealand. Arthur gives a vivid account of these, and many other aspects, of his life, not only bringing out the character and humour of the man but also the struggle he had to overcome his personal difficulties.

Beekeepers everywhere are fascinated by the sources of pollen brought back to the hive by their bees. Being able to identify the plants producing this pollen is the key to unlocking important information about bee forage in your area. Dr Kirk and his team have painstakingly collected pollen loads from bees from Britain and Germany, giving us surprising evidence of the natural variation in the colours seen at the hive entrance. The guide contains a key of 500 colours, and describes the pollen loads of 268 plant species found in Europe. There is also an account of how this book is useful as a practical guide to pollen identification. The text is given in English, French and German, because of the wide demand for such a book throughout Europe. The new second edition includes updates and corrections of the first edition. It also benefits from the many advances in colour printing technology that have occurred over the twelve years since the first edition came out in 1994. The new edition is printed more accurately and should replace copies of the first edition, which may have changed colour through fading and paper aging over the intervening period.

"Beekeeping
is a hobby any interesting amateur could explore" - that's
the message of this book which aims to take the mystique out of
keeping bees. Alan Campion uses his own very recent experiences
to describe in plain terms how to go about setting up a hive, what
to do during the first few years and what to expect from your bees.
Bees at the bottom of the garden has been one of the most popular
introductory texts for the craft of the last decade, and is now
once more available in an updated edition. This updated edition
was published in April 2001 at £12.99
UK post paid. 
"For
Beekeepers to be able now to rely, for an indefinite number of years
to come, upon the regular annual availability, in May and June,
of a huge new nectar source, is for them an historic advance. The
pattern of work through the beekeeping year is changed by it and
a new yearly flow of nectar and honey is in prospect with a yield
comparable to that from heather." This short run reprint of
this standard title, first published in 1986 will be reissued in
April 2001. Orders will be recorded before this date and supplied
on publication. Only £8.75 UK post paid
