How did the delphinium get its name? Which parts of the body lend their names to auriculas and orchids? Who are the gentian, lobelia and heuchera named after?

What does an everlasting pea have to do with Indian miniature paintings?These are some of the questions answered in Peter Parker''s adventurous exploration of the mysteries of Botanical Latin.Evolved over many centuries and often thought to belong to the rarefied world of scholars and scientists, this invented language is in fact a very useful tool for everyday gardening.

For more than forty years Jan Gehl has helped to transform urban environments around the world based on his research into the ways people actually use - or could use - the spaces where they live and work. In this revolutionary book, Gehl presents his latest work creating (or recreating) cityscapes on a human scale. He clearly explains the methods and tools he uses to reconfigure unworkable cityscapes into the landscapes he believes they should be: cities for people. Taking into account changing demographics and changing lifestyles, Gehl emphasizes four human issues that he sees as essential to successful city planning. He explains how to develop cities that are lively, safe, sustainable, and healthy. Focusing on these issues leads Gehl to think of even the largest city on a very small scale. For Gehl, the urban landscape must be considered through the five human senses and experienced at the speed of walking rather than at the speed of riding in a car or bus or train. This small-scale view, he argues, is too frequently neglected in contemporary projects. In a final chapter, Gehl makes a plea for city planning on a human scale in the fast-growing cities of developing countries. ... Unknown localization key: "more"

Thus, strengthening the knowledge of resident physicians, and facilitating better understanding and management of patients with abnormal ECGs—regardless of their career paths through the medical field.Key Features:1. Utilizes a two-pronged explanation style to facilitate learning where the first prong is the “what” of the ECG, and the second prong is the “why” and “how.” 2. Focuses on high-yield abnormalities and clinical pearls, to enable those providers outside of the cardiology space to become more knowledgeable and confident when interpreting ECGs. 3. Uses a built-in question bank to test and reinforce concepts learned in the primer and case studies.
