This page is dedicated to the memory of prof. Zbigniew Podbielkowski (1921-2012),
a Polish botanist, the author of Roślinność kuli ziemskiej [Vegetation of the globe],
my first book on botany and one of the first books of any kind I've owned in my life.
Even if its illustrations were woefully printed in black and white on low quality paper,
it has decisively shaped my interest in both the vegetation and the globe.
