Is there a way to download the PDFs without joining MUSE?   They won't download for me.  Perhaps it will work from a public or a university library.

Perhaps some USA libraries can make it possible one's getting access to some books? http://muse.jhu.edu/order/trial and http://muse.jhu.edu/about/order/domains.html

If anyone here wants to get their hands on whatever texts tickle your thirst for knowledge, feel free to hmu; I got a library's worth of literature on my hard drive, and could most likely help you source just about anything else I don't. Also, the Gutenberg project has a wealth of great literature as well freely available to the public as PDFs.

Do you have a list of books on your hard drive storage Mangrove? What about The Journals of Hippolito Ruiz: Spanish Botanist in Peru and Chile, 1777-1788 to start off?

David Goodman has a lot of great gardening books. He's known as the survival gardener and is always coming out with new research on crops and growing in general. He also has a YouTube channel with many videos. I'm sure some of you permaculture interested members can benefit from his works.

1)google the title of the book, followed by pdf and see where that magical search engine takes you (this is how I source most of my literature)

2)if you can't find it via google (or in a translation into your preferred language), PM me; I have too many to count, let alone read, and thus is very mumblejumbled up so I would have to see. I am pretty sure I don't have that document in my collection; I'd suggest hitting up members who live in spanish countries as they may have copies of it; considering the date of publication, it's probably public record, so again i'd suggest hitting up The Gutenberg Project, the botany depts of both spanish spanish-founded/speaking SA countries' major universities (those poor bastards locked up and away in those ivory towers have quite a lot of stuff to share) and/or the Library of Congress (they have a heckuvalotta literature there--by congress I mean the US' federal Congress--commonly known as the antonym of progress).

You didn't hear me Mangrove. I so hoped that your hdd storage full of books is much better than any web search engine on Earth but you have not justified my high hopes. I had experience with Spaniards, you know they are too lazy when talk is about to get off one's butt and find needed book. Perhaps too much sun or too much sinsemilla, I do not know for sure what's the cause of such behavior but I hope you will not name them poor bastards no more. Just some strange thoughts on the subject

HIT UP EL INSTITUT BOTANIC DE BARCELONA--EMAIL EVERY SINGLE FACULTY MEMBER & GRAD STUDENT IN THIS DEPT UNTIL U GET A RESPONSE--THIS IS THE SAME MECHANISM THROUGH WHICH I MANAGED TO UNITE WITH AND THEN PROCEED TO CO-AUTHOR A PAPER WITH A WORLD-RENOWNED PUERTO-RICAN NEUROSCIENTIST AND THEN PROCEED TO GET THAT 7-SHEET 'PAPER' PUBLISHED IN THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF NEUROPSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY. GRAD STUDENTS LOVE PUBLIC ATTENTION, AND ACCEPT ADMIRATION AS PAYMENT FOR DISSEMINATING THE KNOWLEDGE THEIR PROFESSORS PIMP-OUT TO THE MASSES FOR $35+ A POP. JUST GO ON A FRIDGING RESEARCH SITE, MAKE-UP A PIMPED-OUT COVER LETTER BEGGING FOR THIS BOOK IN ORDER TO COLLECT CRUCIAL DATA NECESSARY FOR YOUR PhD "THESIS-DISSERTATION" PROJECT AT TRUMP UNIVERSITY (Dept of Shamanology, of course!) and some sympathetic plant geek from some forlorn third world wasteland will come howling, kicking and bolting like lightning to your aid so as long as you promise that you'll cite them for their contribution toward your 'doctoral' dissertation on the art of getting super-duper high (read: SPIRITUAL) off of really obscure rainforest plants.

Yes, I NO2 that this plan sounds a bit Radical, but it's worth as many tequila shots as bogus spam emails you'll need to send all over the world requesting this obscure document from as many acamademicomical-grade curanderologists (read: ANTHROPOLOGISTS) as you can.

On a more trichocereous note (I'm super burned out by 13ish straight hours of practicing organic chemistry with only a 2 hour biomedical research recess and 3X5 minute peanut binges in betwixt and between amides and amines & am quickly racing toward my wick's end, so i'll just cut the stick short, sweet and to a very fine point), have you tried calling the librarians at major research universities such as these? I could only imagine that some librarian would be more likely to score a FREE copy to share with you than most others could--I mean they are librarians after all. Also, if the book is of such value to your hobbies & habbits & hobbits, why not just bite the biscuit and simply shell out 12 bucks to buy a physical copy of the book for your own devices via amazon? Just because your sources and field of study are broke as hell doesn't mean you should stoop to their level of blindsighted beggary as well.

Apologies if this post comes off as crude, immature, harmful or otherwise offensive to anyone who has suffered-through this self-defeatist, delirious and deleteriously masturbatory monologue, feel free to insult my gluttonous gall all the way down the drain to the third circle of hell and back; I can barely formulate, let alone articulate thoughts under the "proper" anesthetic smokey fog of feigned formalities atm, so please, mods, feel free to prune this prickly post as you ever so please. This wick's all outta wax and running on the fumes of its own smoldering embers, and like a light, i'm out.

Selah,

however, I do have the complete works of Sigmund Freud on my Google Drive acct, and would be moar than happy to share his shtick with you.

[The Seedist]

Did you write all that long reading stuff only for me, dear Mangrove? If yes then I see you didn't understand my joke but you are really creative person to write down posts like this one above. To get angry on Mexican member of this forum is wrong thing to do and something like misplant already did some time ago. A kind of tactics with no success.

Yes, my apologies, my freund :p No harm meant, all in friendly burnt-out jest, as always. No bad vibes at at all, really, I was just bent over backwards beneath a heckavalotta academiological stress pulsating all over and about me as I started to settle down... ugh... a day in a life, eh?

P.S. I was too lazy to research your profile & didn't know you were Mexican! But now the furanyl-frustrated spanish academia bashing does sound much moar funny/applicable :p (all in love, my friend. all in love.)

However, I hear that Trump is one helluva Renaissance Racist, and would love to hire you as his chief southern coordinator on his impossibly stupid wall building project.

Solute,
