Abstract:

This thesis considers the history and significance of the Museum of Economic Botany at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, focussing especially on the period from its opening in 1847 to the eve of the First World War. Looking specifically at the Museum's collection of wood specimens and artefacts, it seeks to understand the nature of economic botany during this period, and to evaluate the contribution made to the field by the Kew Museum. Through examination of the Museum's practices, networks, spaces, and objects, it sets out to address the question: how do museums produce scientific knowledge? Pa

Abstract:

The native woodland herb, goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), is threatened in Canada. Recovery to a non-risk category is particularly desirable given its medicinal and potential crop value. Woodland herbs probably evolved in an environment with severe and frequent disturbances, including massive floods and impacts of extinct and extirpated fauna. Lack of specific disturbance may limit growth and spread. Ecological observations and analysis (Part I) refined this hypothesis. Comparison of recent and 10 year old surveys, and stem numbers over two years, indicated lack of growth and spread. Pollin

Abstract:

Biobliography : leaves 147-156.<br>An investigation of land-use practices was undertaken on the Agulhas Plain, a species-rich area at the southern tip of Africa. Data were collected from landowners and visitors using questionnaire surveys. Further information was obtained by means of a literature search and interviews with key informants. A historical background of land use in the area is given. Although the area has been utilized since the Earlier Stone Age (>200000 years BP), the most dramatic changes to the landscape have occurred post 1850, with the large transformation of indigenous veld

Abstract:

Economic valuation techniques for environmental goods and services can contribute to decisions regarding the sustainable use and preservation of natural resources. Several valuation techniques have been developed based on neoclassical economics. However, when markets fail these techniques are not applicable. An alternative approach that is less dependent on pervasive markets comes from the school of biophysical economics. This approach is based on the energy theory. According to this theory, the embodied energy of the ecosystem is estimated and a money value is assigned to it. This thesis uses

Abstract:

Traditional botanical knowledge is the knowledge of how plants are being cultivated and used by the indigenous cultures. Modern western culture exhibits a shortage of traditional and formal botanical knowledge. In this project I took 103 common edible plants found in the grocery store and applied both traditional and formal knowledge in a formal educational format. The purpose was to introduce students to the information that is generally acquired through informal interaction in the home and the community and to address the National and State educational standards.

Abstract:

The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyze the economic and political development of Botswana and Zimbabwe in the last 50 years. Emphasis is placed mainly on the contradictory development in both countries, as the previously flourishing economy of Zimbabwe almost collapsed in the last decade, while the once poor Botswana gradually became Africa's miracle and role model for the optimal development policy. This thesis also seeks to propose measures that would help the distressed Zimbabwean economy to overcome this crisis and return on the growth path once again.

France was late to enter the European race for empire in Asia, but it was the earliest nation to employ colonial research gardens to organize the push eastward. The French botanical vanguard settled on the Mascarene Islands in the Indian Ocean where, beginning in the 1730s, a series of gardens contributed to France’s imperial fortunes and provided a model for later plant research networks in other European empires. In spite of past interpretations of French colonial science, there emergences a compelling argument that a dynamic interest in practical applications of scientific knowledge was pr
