Provém da China, do final do século XV, as primeiras práticas do ensino florestal. Todavia, foi na Alemanha, na cidade de Zillbach, em 1786 que foi criada a primeira Escola de Silvicultura. Em 1811, a Escola foi transferida para cidade de Tharandt, recebendo o titulo de Academia Florestal, que, anos mais tarde, seria elevada a categoria de Academia Real da Saxonia. Em 1825 foi criada a Universidade de Gissem; ja em 1830 foram criadas as Academia de Eberswald e a Academia Florestal de Eisenach; pouco tempo depois criaram-se mais tres Universidades, Carlsruhe, Munich e Tubigem. Hoje, cada Pais europeu tem, pelo menos, uma Faculdade de Engenharia Florestal. A primeira faculdade de Engenharia Florestal das Americas foi criada em 1895, na cidade de Baltimore, estado de Maryland, EUA.

This comprehensive study, with a foreword by Lord Killanin, looks at Irish forestry from the migration of the first wood species some 10,000 years ago to the present day. Part One, The Historical Background, examines the primeval forest and early settlers, woodlands, land title and tenure under the Celts, codified with Brehon law; Norman forest law imposed in the early medieval period; the Tudor conquest and plantations; and the development of estate and scientific forestry during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It also considers the political dimension of Irish forestry, and socio-economic factors such as land hunger and agrarian reform. Part Two, Forestry in Modern Ireland, chronicles the twentieth century, beginning with the Irish Forestry Committee of 1907. In the struggle for independence, replenishing the countrys forestry stock was placed high on the list of national objectives. State afforestation schemes laid foundations gradually built upon during the mid-century as the techniques and role of forestry were debated, policies defined and planting programmes instituted. With Coillte established in 1989 and EC-aided expansion plans for the 1990s, private and state interests converge in a major national enterprise. The husbanding of Irelands natural resources and its documentation are now part of a broader environmental awareness. Forests are of inestimable importance. They provide and protect. They sustain the biosphere, regulate climate, nurture diversity, serve recreation, and yield wood: a commodity which contributes more than any other to society, as fuel, as industrial timber and in the form of paper the key medium of civilization. A History of Irish Forestry will be of interest to all concerned with Irelands past, and future.

In A History of Land Mammals in the Western Hemisphere, William Berryman Scott meticulously chronicles the evolution and diversity of terrestrial mammals that have inhabited North America and South America. The books analytical framework is deeply rooted in paleontological evidence, augmented by a thorough review of existing literature, which allows Scott to present a comprehensive narrative that interweaves geological contexts with biological evolution. His prose is both accessible and informative, striking a balance between scientific rigor and engaging storytelling. This work is an important contribution to the field of vertebrate paleontology and exemplifies the early 20th-century scholarly pursuit of integrating fossil records with contemporary ecological understanding. William Berryman Scott, a distinguished American paleontologist, dedicated his life to the study of mammals, significantly influencing the field through his research and advocacy for science in education. His academic lineage, rooted in the Princeton University and the American Museum of Natural History, provided him with rich access to fossil collections and data that informed his comprehensive survey on mammals. In this book, Scott eloquently expresses his passion for understanding the past and its implications for contemporary biodiversity. Readers with an interest in natural history, paleontology, and evolutionary biology will find Scotts work both enlightening and influential. Ideal for scholars and enthusiasts alike, A History of Land Mammals in the Western Hemisphere not only serves as an essential academic reference but also instills a sense of wonder about the rich tapestry of life that has flourished across these lands.

A History of Science is a five volume work written by two brothers dr. Henry Smith Williams and dr. Edward Huntington Williams with a goal to present fundamental principles of science, to point out how they have been discovered by our predecessors, and to trace the growth of these ideas from their first vague beginnings. The work is chronologically divided in five parts, each of them covering the epoch in which different branches of science have been lifted to the next level.Table of Contents:Volume I: Idea of the Science in Ancient History and Prehistoric Times (Egypt, Babylonia, Assyria, Ancient Greece and Rome);Volume II: The Beginnings of Modern Science (Science in Middle Ages, Eastern, Western, Galileo, Newton);Volume III: Modern Development of the Physical Sciences;Volume IV: Modern Development of the Chemical and Biological Sciences;Volume V: Aspects of Recent Science.
