Paperback. Zustand: Fine. Precise naming of plants is essential to be able to identify them accurately and most gardeners have at least some knowledge of 'botanical Latin'. But a plant's full botanical name does much more than give it a unique label. The name can often tell you where the plant originated, who discovered it, what colour it is, and much else besides. What's more, the name is universally recognizable, and can be used and understood anywhere in the world. So wherever you are you can identify specific plants. Plant Names Explained is an essential and fascinating guide to the subject. What may seem at first a dry but necessary convention is revealed to be a way of opening up the intriguing world of plants and plantsmen. Based on William T Stearn's Botanical Latin, the classic work on the subject, Plant Names Explained is much more than an indispensable practical guide and superb reference book - it is an engrossing read. Published in partnership with Hillier, Britain's most respected nurserymen.

He starts from the premise that once you have mastered a very small number of classic watercolour techniques, you have an arsenal of skills that will allow you to paint anything you choose. The first part of the book consists of an introduction to tools and materials along with step-by-step technical demonstrations that you can practice at your leisure. Part two concentrates on applying these techniques in practice. Campbell Smith takes different aspects of painting landscapes - skies, trees and foliage, water, conveying a sense of distance, weather conditions - in turn and shows very simply which of the classic techniques explained in part one you might use for each subject. In the final part of the book, Campbell Smith analyses completed paintings to show how a range of different techniques can be brought together in a more complex scene.
