pokkari
Originally published in 1922, this book contains a description of the fungi native to Great Britain that reproduce through the dispersal of basidiospores from specialised end cells. Rea catalogues the colour, appearance, taste, typical growth season and rarity of over 2500 basidiomycetae with an eye for detail that ensured that this book became the standard reference text for years after its publication. This text will be of value to anyone with an interest in mycology or the history of science.

Race and Reason: A Yankee View is a book written by Carleton Putnam, first published in 1961. The book is a controversial examination of the issue of race and its impact on American society. Putnam argues that race is a biological reality, and that differences in intelligence and behavior between races are largely determined by genetics. He also contends that the civil rights movement is misguided and that efforts to integrate schools and neighborhoods are doomed to fail due to innate racial differences. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part providing a historical overview of race relations in America. Putnam explores the origins of slavery and the Civil War, as well as the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups. The second part of the book delves into the science of race, with Putnam arguing that there are significant differences in intelligence and behavior between different racial groups. He cites various studies and statistics to support his claims, and argues that these differences are largely genetic in nature. The final part of the book focuses on the implications of these racial differences for American society. Putnam argues that the civil rights movement is misguided and that efforts to integrate schools and neighborhoods are doomed to fail due to innate racial differences. He also suggests that policies such as affirmative action and busing are counterproductive and only serve to exacerbate racial tensions. Race and Reason: A Yankee View was highly controversial when it was first published, and it continues to be a controversial book today. Many critics have accused Putnam of promoting racism and white supremacy, while others have defended his arguments as based on sound science. Regardless of one's perspective on the issue of race, Race and Reason: A Yankee View remains a thought-provoking and challenging book that forces readers to confront some of the most difficult questions facing American society.Introduction By R.
