Vascular Plants of the Pacific Northwest, in five parts, offers the first complete guide, with keys, to the ferns, fern-related, and seed-bearing plants of Washington, northern Oregon, Idaho north of the Snake River plains, the mountainous western part of Montana, and southern British Columbia. Each volume gives complete regional synonymy, type collections, geographic ranges, ¿genuine¿ common names, and chromosome numbers for each species, as well as economic importance and horticultural features.Part 1 covers vascular cryptogams, often referred to as ¿ferns and fern allies¿; gymnosperms; and monocotyledons. An unusual feature is the inclusion of a key to the species of grasses based upon vegetative features, as well as one to grass genera based primarily upon floral structures. Part 1 also includes several sections relating to the work as a whole: an Index to Plant Families, a Glossary, a key to aquatic plants based mainly on vegetative features, several pages of additions and corrections, and a general index to common, generic, and specific names.Illustrated by Jeanne R. Janish.

This book was originally designed as a pictorial supplement to be used in connection with other texts. At the request of many teachers, I have expanded the coverage in this edition to include dissecting instructions, descriptive text, and some additional material on the skeleton, muscles, and nervous system.

The Stroemple Collection boasts more than five hundred vintage Venetian vessels that illustrate the height of Venetian glassblowing during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In 2012, George Stroemple commissioned James MongrainΓÇöDale ChihulyΓÇÖs current gaffer and an exceptional glass artistΓÇöto make a series of ten vessels to replicate major examples of vintage Venetian glass in the Stroemple Collection. The finished pieces exemplify MongrainΓÇÖs extraordinary ability to re-create traditional Venetian mastery in glass.Since then, the Stroemple Collection has commissioned Mongrain to make more series, all based on the historic works in the Stroemple Collection. For these, Mongrain uses traditional techniques and imagery to reimagine the Venetian style, working on a large scale to create monumental and sculptural pieces that reference tradition but are firmly within contemporary glassmaking. This book documents each of the James Mongrain commissions and will also include various examples of historic Venetian glass that inspired Mongrain in the making of these series.

Artists Joey Kirkpatrick and Flora C. Mace began collaborating at Pilchuck Glass School in 1979 and went on to become pioneers of style and technique in the art glass world. The innovation, scale, and complexity of their work firmly established their place alongside other major glass artists, and their work is included in many museum collections around the world. Despite this, Kirkpatrick and Mace have not been afforded a scholarly review of their careers, which now span more than thirty years. Throughout their productive careers, Kirkpatrick and Mace have consistently explored seminal themes: principles of ΓÇ£drawingΓÇ¥ as incorporated into glass, the metaphoric content of our relationship to nature, and the appropriation of materials to support a visual idea. This book will bring the depth and richness of these themes into comprehensive focus.

Since its original publication in 1945, this small classic has acquired a new audience concerned with living in harmony with the environment and interested in the particularly intimate relationship of Native Americans to the land. This survey of the use of plants by Native Americans in western Washington describes the ways in which more than 150 species served as food and medicine, and were used for the manufacture of clothes and other objects.

The spectacular totem poles of British Columbia and Alaska, on which appear birds, animals, and unrecognizable creatures, are found nowhere else in the world. To save specimens of this now-abandoned American Indian craft and make them accessible to Alaska visitors, the United States Forest Service in 1938 began placing Tlingit and Haida totem poles in natural settings near Ketchikan, Wrangel, and Sitka.The Wolf and the Raven describes the poles, their place in the Indian culture of their day, the myths and legends they recount, and the history of the restoration program.
