‎First apperance of a milestone paper in plant physiology as the concept of tropistic behaviour arose from the experiments described in this paper. Knight showed that forces, generated by means of a water-wheel, made roots and shoots of seedlings orient themselves to centrifugal forces, just as they do to gravity.Knight's investigations on geotropism ""enabled Knight to distinguish between geotropic and hydrotropic reactions of the root, and opened the whole question of tropic responses, of their physical basis and adaptive significance in the lfe of plants.""(Morton, ""History of Botanical Science"", p. 390.).""His most famous work was on what are now called geotropisms. In a letter read by Banks to the Royal Society in 1806, Knight described how he eliminated the influence of gravitation on germinating seeds: He attached them at various angles to the rim of a vertical wheel which was driven by a stream in his garden to revolve continuously at a rate of 150 r.p.m. As the germinating plants grew, each shoot was directed to the center of the wheel" when a shoot passed the center of the wheel its tip turned back so that growth was still centripetal" the roots grew away from the center. Next he set up a similar structure with the wheel horizontal and rotating at 250 r.p.m. so that the seedlings were influenced by both gravitation of the earth an the centrifugal force. In this case, growth was at an angle of 80° to the vertical, the shoot upward and inward, and the root downward and out. Reducing the rotation to 80 r.p.m. decreased the centrifugal force to such an extent that the plants grew at an angle of 45° to the vertical.""(DSB).‎

‎The young British photographer Nick Knight discovered the beauty of dried plants on a stroll through the herbarium, the "library of pressed flowers", at the Natural History Museum in London. These flowers were a source of such fascination to the photographer that he has now devoted his second large photo album to them. The charm of their fragile corporeality, their filigree transparency and their subtle colours have delighted Nick Knight for more than three and a half years - the time it took him to select from the over six million plants in the herbarium the photographs for this album. Thousands were considered, several hundred photographed and finally the forty-six "most beautiful" chosen. The entire book is imbued with the aesthetic happiness Nick Knight experienced himself on his photographic journey of discovery and whose effect he described in these words: "These are few things that make one happier than discovering a new way of seeing the familiar. Seeing in a way I could not have imagined. It is a very liberating feeling and one that makes me very optimistic." Sandra Knapp, curator of the plants of Middle America at the Natural History Museum has written short explanatory texts on the individual plants commenting on their biological characteristics as well as on their historical and cultural importance. The way the author weaves into her text a short history of botany, botanical research and techniques as well as a history of the herbarium makes this book a pleasure to read and is indispensable for all those who are interested in botany as a scientific discipline.‎

‎LE CULTE DE PRIAPE et ses rapports avec la théologie mystique des anciens. Suivi d'un Essai sur le culte des pouvoirs générateurs durant le Moyen Age.‎

‎Arché Milano 1987 In-8 carré ( 220 X 160 mm ) de 380 pages, broché sous couverture imprimée. 40 planches hors-texte. Très bel exemplaire, non coupé. +++C'est le premier livre traitant exclusivement du culte de Priape. En partant de la survivance d'un rituel phallique dans l'église d'lsernia ( Royaume de Naples ) observé à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, son auteur parcourt l'itinéraire de la religion phallique dans le monde ancien, un peu dans le goût des antiquarians anglais, en essayant de prouver que ce culte obscène est la représentation mystique et dégénérée d'une divinité qui à l'origine était le principe cosmique. [Caillet : "Très rare [.], détails sur les amulettes phalliques et sur le côté psychopathique et sexuel du Sabbat". Knight ( 1750-1824 ) joua un rôle politique actif ( il fut membre du Sénat et de la Royal Society ) amateur d'antiquités et notamment de numismatique, il voyagea beaucoup en Italie et fonda un Musée Phallique qui se trouve actuellement au British Museum. Après la première parution de son livre ( 1786 ), les violentes attaques puritaines de Mathias obligèrent Knight à en racheter tous les exemplaires pour les détruire.‎
