?Saltmarshes are often remote, inhospitable places, neither land nor sea, as hard to pin down as they are to navigate. In this saline odyssey, Clive Chatters has explored his favourite creeks, pools and mudflats to bring us an absorbing celebration of the ecology, biology, geology and history of this scarce and mysterious habitat. There are Tadpole Shrimps, and rare sedges, waders and Wild Celery ? even inland saltmarshes ? in this tour de force by a superb naturalist and writer.? BRETT WESTWOOD, naturalist, author and radio presenter Saltmarshes are among Britain's most diverse and dynamic landscapes. They abound around our shores but may also be found inland and at altitude ? wherever water, salt and vegetation combine. The species they support range from extreme rarities of specialised habitats to the less demanding denizens of coastal wetlands. Here is a landscape of international importance for migratory birds, endemic plants and an exceptional variety of invertebrates. Clive Chatters has a lifetime's affinity with saltmarshes. In this fifth volume of the British Wildlife Collection, he celebrates their natural history and diversity, from the highly distinctive marshes in the Scottish Highlands to the urban remnants of the Thames estuary now engulfed within the capital. By examining the past of these complex habitats, we can gain an insight into how they have developed, and an understanding of their relationship with people. In addition to their exceptionally diverse natural history, saltmarshes are sources of food and medicine, they play a pivotal role in flood defence and carbon sequestration, and have inspired artistic endeavour.… (plus d'informations)

I believe that herein lies, if not the answers to life, the universe, and everything, at least a minute and carefully specified description of it all. Sadly (or not) there is probably not enough time left in my life to read/comprehend it. Nice to know what he was about though. I skimmed mightily, read some, and enjoyed reading some, too.

The mind boggles at one man sitting down and writing this whole thing, let alone having students to teach and enemies to avoid. The reasoning of the workings of the world around him (reading specifically in the book "Atmosphere") is amazing. It is easy to think of these ancient peoples as being simple in their understanding because they lacked our scientific equipment, but they reasoned it out pretty well, considering!

I enjoyed reading his precise phrasing. He was not one to leave loopholes. Review is for both volumes. ( )

Things are said to be named 'equivocally' when, though they have a common name, the definition corresponding with the name differs for each.
Of the parts of animals some are simple: to wit, all such as divide into parts uniform with themselves, as flesh into flesh; others are composite, such as divide into parts not uniform with themselves, as, for instance, the hand does not divide into hands nor the face into faces.
When I began the following work, my only object was to extend and explain more fully the memoir which I read at the public meeting of the Academy of Sciences in the month of April, 1787, on the necessity of reforming and completing the nomenclature of chemistry.

The Britannica Great Books edition of Aristotle's works was printed as Volumes 8 and 9 of the first edition, and Volumes 7 and 8 of the second edition. The numbering overlap makes dividing the volumes uncertain
