| March - Vegetation Geography, or Whowas A.W. Küchler |
| Monday, March 8, 2010 |
If you're bored over spring break, or need a break from studying afterward, give these questions a try! You may just win a $10 gift certificate to somewhere like the bookstore or Koffenya.
A.W. Küchler is the author of several materials in the Brill Science Library collections. He was a geographer who studied how and why plants, or groups of them, grow in particular places. This includes the effects of climate (temperature, rainfall, and sunlight), soil chemistry, and geographic location, on plants. It also looks at communities of plants and where they appear. This area of study is commonly called vegetation geography.
1. This book is regarded as a major work on the subject of vegetation mapping. Find this book in the catalog (title is: Vegetation Mapping, call number is: QK911 .H3 pt.10). Give the second subject heading listed for it. (Hint: it is based on Greek words.)
2. Use the main word of the subject heading (leave off the ‘Maps’) to find another book on this subject in the library collection. What is the title of the book?
3. In addition to a major book on this topic, A.W. Küchler also created several vegetation maps showing various areas. Find a listing for a map by him in the library collection. OR Find a map created by a different author.
Get your answer in by the end of March to qualify. You can submit your answers to mulibrarytrivia@gmail.com, or in person at the Brill Science Library. The winner will be chosen randomly from all correct submissions. |
