Krátky popis
The book considers the importance of plants in Tolkien's conception
of Middle-earth. It develops the theme that Middle-earth is our own
world - and will awaken the reader to the connection between the
plants of Tolkien's legendarium and those growing in our gardens
and local natural areas of the Northern Hemisphere. It also
demonstrates the connection between the various plant communities
of Middle-earth and the elven and human cultures that occupy them,
includingthose environments degraded by warfare, industrialization
or pollution.The heart of the book is an alphabetical listing,
arranged by common names, of all of the plants mentioned in
Tolkien's legendarium, for each of these plants the treatment will
include: 1) common and scientific name, along with an indication of
the family to which the plant belongs, 2) a brief quote from one of
Tolkien's works in which the plant is referenced, 3) a discussion
of the significance of the plant in the context of Tolkien's
legendarium, 4) the etymology relating to both Englishcommon name
and the scientific name, and where relevant, the name in one or
more of the languages of Middle-earth, 5) a brief statement of the
plant's distribution and ecology (along with mention of major
species), 6) economic uses, both traditional and current, and 7) an
easy-to-understand descriptionof the plant. The book provides
guidelines to the use of plant descriptions, and the few technical
terms used are carefully defined. Many plants are illustrated by
original artwork, in the style of a woodcut print.The description
along with an identification key, when used with the illustrations,
allow easy identification of each plant, adding to the reader's
understanding and appreciation of Tolkien's works. A glossary of
descriptive terms is also included.
