Reseña del editor:

During the latter half of the twentieth century, the world witnessed the rise of the modern environmental movement. Chronicling this significant occurrence in Kent, Ohio, a Midwestern university town, this collection of writings and photographs captures the spirit and excitement of botanical fieldwork during the 1960s, `70s, and `80s. The Kent Bog, dedicated as a state nature preserve in 1987, is the book's focal point.

With personal reflections based on fifty years of experience, author Tom S. Cooperrider provides fascinating botanical tales on the study and conservation of Ohio flora, the Herrick Magnolia Garden, the work of other local botanists, the protection of rare species and unique areas such as Kent's tamarack bog, the discovery of lost plants, the survival of a famous cultivated tree, and the invasiveness of alien species. Botanical Essays from Kent is a valuable addition to the understanding of local natural history and will be enjoyed by botanists, gardeners, and nature lovers alike.
