Reviews
Throughout the book, the depth of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm of the authors is always apparent and this is enhanced by the excellent photographs., The illustrations and maps in Part One as well as those of the individual species in Part Two are spectacular and well done., Well-written . . . I was particularly impressed with the detail provided for artificial propagation (flasking) of orchid seeds., Lavarack and colleagues bring a wealth of experience to this well-written survey...This highly recommended book is an important addition to the orchid literature..., The text is written with scientist, horticulturist, commercial grower, and hobbyist in mind. Timber Press has produced another excellent book to add to their rapidly growing collection of titles on orchids. The Price is affordable!, Timber Press has again done well in the addition of books on specific orchid groups at an affordable price!, I don't know how an orchid grower could possibly resist purchasing this book.I can't possibly say enough about this book without using too many superlatives. Buy it as soon as possible. You won't be disappointed., Balance is the key to their presentation, which pleases artistic sensibilities as it educates. This book truly belongs in the hands of flower lovers.

Synopsis
Dendrobium is an enormous orchid genus of more than 1000 species native to south Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and Oceania. They are highly popular among orchid growers for their beauty and diversity. This study by three plant scientists who are also active orchid growers presents more than 400 of the species, all illustrated with color photographs. Almost all the horticulturally popular species are included, along with some lesser-known but spectacular species recently discovered in the highlands of New Guinea that are likely to become popular in the future., John Stezaker has been collecting photographic city views from the 1920s and 30s for 30 years, focusing on subjects photographed by chance. Here, he presents hundreds of mostly stamp-size details, miniatures" that hint at the fates and encounters of long-forgotten people caught in urban labyrinths."
