{"product_id":"ladies-botany-volume-1-john-lindley-9781108076579","title":"Ladies' Botany - Volume 1","description":"The horticulturalist John Lindley (1799-1865) worked for Sir Joseph Banks, and was later instrumental in saving the Royal Horticultural Society from financial disaster. He was a prolific author of works for gardening practitioners but also for a non-specialist readership, and many of his books have been reissued in this series. The first volume of this two-volume work was published in 1834, and the second in 1837. At a time when botany was regarded as the only science suitable for study by women and girls, Lindley felt that there was a lack of books for 'those who would become acquainted with Botany as an amusement and a relaxation', and attempted to meet this need. The first volume, in the form of engaging letters to a lady, was originally intended to stand alone. Illustrated with detailed botanical drawings, it schools the student in botanical form and taxonomy as well as nomenclature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Lindley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1108076572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108076579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.84d","brand":"John Lindley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46526218174719,"sku":"9781108076579","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33dc930d-d3f7-4052-b013-f9eb458c0fbd.jpg?v=1737555535","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ladies-botany-volume-1-john-lindley-9781108076579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
