Flora of Benin: Tamarind $10 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Tamarind (Tamarindus indica) (from Latinization of Arabic: tamar hindi = Indian date) is a tree in the family Fabaceae. The genus Tamarindus is monotypic (having only a single species). Tamar Indicus is endemic to tropical Africa, particularly where it continues to grow wild in Sudan; it is also cultivated in Cameroon, Nigeria and Tanzania. It reached India likely through human transportation and cultivation several thousand years prior to the Common Era. It was in India that it was first described by Western botanists as Tamarindus indica, the Latin derivative of the Persian and the Arabic name commonly attributed to it: “tamar al-Hind” or the Hindu date . It is widely distributed throughout the Tropical belt, from Africa to India, and throughout South East Asia, Taiwan and as far as China. In the 16th century, it was heavily introduced to Mexico as well as South America by Spanish and Portuguese colonists, to the degree that it became a common ingredient in everyday living. The tamarind is a long-lived, medium-growth bushy tree which attains a maximum crown height of 12.1 to 18.3 metres (40 to 60 feet). The crown has irregular vase-shaped outline of dense foliage. Leaves are evergreen, bright green in colour, elliptical ovular, arrangement is alternate, of the pinnately compound type, with pinnate venation and less than 5 cm (2 inches) in length. The branches droop from a single, central trunk as the tree matures and is often pruned in human agriculture to optimize tree density and ease of fruit harvest. At night, the leaflets close up. The tamarind does flower, though inconspicuously, with red and yellow elongated flowers. Flowers are 2.5 cm wide (one inch) five-petalled borne in small racemes, yellow with orange or red streaks. Buds are p… More: |

The Quaker Boy $17.43 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:CHAPTER III. FATHER. Next to mother, father was the most important person in my little world. He was a tall, fine-looking man, about forty years of age as I first remember him, with clean shaven face and a Roman nose. The latter had become a sort of trade-mark in his family. A little way off I could hardly tell his profile from that of Uncle Samuel, his elder brother. Father was a man of commanding presence, he had eyes of grayish blue, an expressive mouth, thick, waving hair and a high broad forehead—a forehead that became higher still as the years went by. Father wore “the plain clothes” of the Quakers, not the drab or gray, indeed, but a black broadcloth, the coat with standing collar from which the front edge curved in graceful outline down to the end of the tail. Certainly father always looked well in his plain clothes, and it may be that under them there was as much pride of personal appearance as in the “gayer” and more profane garments of the world’s people. Father at heart was one of the kindest of men, but I have seen him assume a most ferocious appearance when dealing with juvenile offenders, which frightened the little rascals half to death. I remember one instance in particular. We had a catalpa tree growing on the sidewalk in front of our house, with big leaves and long pods which, when dry, the boys in the neighborhood would use for make-believe cigars, smoking them proudy like grown-up men. They would scramble up the tree box and out upon the limbs, often breaking down the smaller branches, and mutilating the tree. One fellow was very persistent, and though warned to desist, climbed the tree again and again and did considerable damage. One afternoon father spied him up among the branches, went out to the foot of the tree and ordered him down. The boy |

Tree Houses $18 Tree houses capture the imagination of the child in all of us, and they have never been more popular than they are today. This inspirational yet thoroughly practical guide shows even the most inexperienced weekend carpenter how to design and build a lifetime of memories for the entire family. With more than 200,000 copies of their popular Weekend Project Books sold, David and Jeanie Stiles have become America’s First Couple of do-it-yourself woodworking. In Tree Houses You Can Actually Build, they explain basic building procedures through clear, simple instructions and non-technical line drawings that illustrate every step of the project, from the earliest sketches to the final cedar shingle. The authors outline five basic designs that can be adapted to virtually any set of conditions, and throughout the book, they emphasize safety for both adults and children. In addition to line drawings, the book contains a section of full-color photographs highlighting a variety of tree house projects, plus helpful building tips based on interviews with their owners. |
