Dr George’s Bookstore
The range of books on offer through this site are an eclectic mix of the author’s extensive writings that have previously only been
made public through Journals and other scientific publications. They include diary notes from more than two decades of travel in
South-East Asia and the ‘Camellia Provinces’ of PR China. Novel scientific data backed up by long-term, extensive field observations
chronicle the development of seminal scientific research into family Theaceae D. Don and genus Camellia L. The general topography,
current distribution of various plant species and the prevailing climatic conditions of the visited phyto-geographic regions are also
discussed. Background information pertaining to the culture, local customs, history and food availability of the visited countries is
also included.
