Item type:GenericWork Other, The Bean Bag no. 35(1992-05)Royal Botanic Gardens, KewThe Bean Bag is changing - Your Bean Bag (BB), first issued by R.S. Cowan and C.R.Gunn, has been distributed twice yearly—May and November—since May 1975. The genesis of the BB occurred at the First International Congress of Systematics and Evolutionary Biology (Boulder, Colorado). At an ad hoc meeting of legume taxonomists, Tom Elias (then Director of the Carey Arboretum, New York Botanical Garden) volunteered to produce a legume newsletter, and distributed a questionnaire to potential readers worldwide. When his administrative duties forced him to give up the newsletter (before its first issue), Cowan and Gunn assumed the editorial duties. They printed and distributed the first issue using the results of the questionnaires sent out by Elias. It was Mary Kalin Arroyo who gave us our name—The Bean Bag, and Alice Tangerini developed our first mast head. November 1981 saw the second change of editorship: Cowan resigned, and James Lackey took his place. Lydia Poole handled the mail and prepared copy, and Lynda Chandler designed the Directory cover. Lackey, Poole, and Chandler made career advancements which took them out of our laboratory, and the third editorship change was made: Lackey resigned and was replaced by J.H. Kirkbride, Jr., with the November 1986 issue. Kirkbride brought the BB into the computer age. A database of readers was created, and the directory and mailing labels are generated from the database without further editing. Copy for the BB is now produced on a laser-jet printer making the inclusion of accents possible. Another change is now at hand. I am retiring to devote full time to producing the third and final volume, covering the Faboideae, in my trilogy on the fruits and seeds of the Fabaceae. With the November 1992 issue, the BB Editors will be Kirkbride and John H. Wiersema (ARS Nomenclaturalist) with the assistance of Carole A. Ritchie.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:GenericWork Other, The Bean Bag no. 36(1992-11)Royal Botanic Gardens, KewFrom the Editors: This is the first issue of the Bean Bag without the participation of Charles R. (Bob) Gunn as co-editor. We thank him very much for 17 years of outstanding service as an editor of the Bean Bag. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Agricultural Research Service of the US Department of Agriculture for their continuing financial support of the Bean Bag. The Bean Bag (BB) is designed to promote communication among research scientists concerned with legume systematics. To achieve this goal the BB is issued in May and November of each year and features six columns: From the Editors, News (meetings, major events, announcements, etc.), Latin American Legume Report, Nodulation and Nitrogen Fixation (new nodulation records). Gleanings, and Recent Legume Literature. Data in the Gleanings column are derived from questionnaire sheets which Readers complete and return. If you have news about legume systematics, send it to us for this column. The Recent Legume Literature column contains published research papers of specific interest to BB Readers. Recent is defined as one year old. We rarely will publish a citation that is more than one year old. Specific interest to BB Readers is defined as research papers of interest to a worldwide group of legume systematic botanists. We encourage BB Readers to send us notices, observations, etc. Diacritical marks can now be placed in the BB. If such marks should be placed in your name, address, publications, etc., please let us know. We are especially interested in correcting our Directory. Electronic copies of the BB and the Directory can be obtained from TAXACOM or through Internet at HUH.HARVARD.EDU.1 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
