The analysis begins around the turn of the ninth and tenth centuries and ends at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, when Hungary was beginning the Industrial Age as a country with symptoms of over-population and environmental exploitation. Chapters include conquest and settlement, the late Middle Ages, the Ottoman Age and the century of rebuilding. The text is illustrated with detailed maps and figures and includes an epilogue with notes for further study, as well as an extensive bibliography.

Plant behaviour and intelligence / Anthony Trewavas. Oxford University Press, 2014.

scan0003Location: Berkeley Basement

Shelfmark: HL-366-646

In this book, Professor Anthony Trewavas addresses the controversial topic of plant intelligence. The book contains 26 short chapters, designed to be read either independently, or as a unit. Three main concepts are covered: that plant cells may have self-awareness; that they respond to challenges with behavioural changes; and that they do this in a way that implies intelligent behaviour. Trewavas presents an introduction to plant behaviour for a broad readership, intentionally keeping technical content to a minimum. The text is also recommended as a suitable reference text for undergraduate and graduate students of plant evolution and ecology.

Trinity College Library supports Green Week. Go Green 2015!

Trinity College Library is delighted to support College’s Green Week 2015, 16-20 February. frog on a rock

In the Berkeley Library foyer, our Early Printed Books department is providing a display of printed material on the history of forestry in Ireland.

Collection Management / Periodicals have selected material which can be seen in the Orientation Space display case (BLU), ‘Making Waves for Water!’

We’ve put together a selection of books to illustrate how water sustainability affects us on the personal, national and global scale. Why not think of how water sustainability affects you and what the idea of sustainable living could encourage changes in our way of life?

Our display is designed to coincide with both College Green Week and the College Strategic Plan, which supports a policy of sustainable resource use on Campus. We encourage our library patrons to go Green for Green Week and to explore the theme of sustainability using the Library Catalogue, where they will find a wealth of resources on the topic.

Recently published, scholarly material, from our Environmental Science collections is represented in a special display in the Hamilton Library. A short video promoting that material will run on our information screens in the Library buildings during the week. Each day during Green Week, our blog will feature individual books from the selected items.

Green Week will be launched at 1.15 pm, today, Monday, 16th February, at the Exam Hall, Front Square. There will be a display of the latest technology in electric vehicles. A founder of FoodCloud, a community-based social enterprise matching those with too much food with those who have too little, will speak about ‘Green Entrepreneurship’.

All welcome.
