At Brothertoft in Lincolnshire he was estate steward to the political reformer John Cartwright. Through his collaboration with Cartwright, Amos also met their near neighbour Sir Joseph Banks, who later described Amos as 'an honest man and an ingenious one' (Wikipedia). Amos contributed through his inventions and published writings to the British agricultural revolution. He designed a number of improved agricultural machines and actively promoted more efficient farming techniques.Goldsmiths'-Kress, 18817..

Yale University Press 2020 256, 147 col photos, 416 b/w illus. . PB. NEW. . A guide to the grasses, sedges and rushes of the north-eastern United States. This elegant and easy-to-use guide is an updated and amended revision of Lauren Brown's seminal Grasses: An Identification Guide, which was first published in 1979.

In addition, the authors are careful to highlight the subtle differences in similar species to avoid confusion, as well as offering relevant notes on plant survival strategies, invasiveness, and how different plants fit within the broader ecological landscape. Devoid of technical jargon, this volume is an indispensable tool for those curious about the often-overlooked grasses, sedges and rushes that surround us.. [9780300236774]

Identification Guide to Southern African Grasses: An Identification Manual with Keys, Descriptions and Distributions

SANBI Publishing 2016 798, 581 b/w photos, line drawings, maps. . HB. NEW. . Grasses are very important features of the landscape and occur to a greater or lesser extent in all of the vegetation types of southern African. The importance of good grazing grasses for both wild and domesticated animals is well known. Some species are indicators of good or bad veld management and are useful to farmers and conservators. Crop farmers have to deal with undesirable grasses in their fields and the custodians of our indigenous vegetation need to correctly identify any alien invaders.This identification guide relies primarily on the use of keys and descriptive information to aid the user in identifying a grass species. It contains some of the best information needed to identify southern African grasses. Keys to grass genera and species are provided, and in some instances also keys to easily confused taxa. For each species, a combination of useful characters is provided, and where applicable, line drawings of the spikelet or parts thereof accompany the identification keys. Species descriptions and distribution maps are hugely important and add to the identification of grasses.. [9781928224006]
