What's the difference between an ISSN and an ISBN?

[Maggi Young]

What's the difference between an ISSN and an ISBN?

Broadly :

The International Standard Book Number (ISBN) identifies a single, nonrecurring publication (book, DVD etc).

The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) identifies a serial, recurring publication, such as a monthly journal or a publication that may be updated.


ISBN are used for books. ISSN are used for newspapers, magazines and such. The ISSN identifies the serial as a whole, each issue has the same ISSN as  all other issues, be they  weekly, monthly, quarterly, whatever.

Ian, surely you pinched a bit of white Erythronium revolutum pollen from Inverewe to bring back with you for your white revolutum?  Maybe some white pollen from the one with the most clumping tendency?  I would have found it irresistible to get a bit of pollen.

Ian,
You must've been in Erythronium Heaven in Inverewe!
Great to see such prolific flowering there and in Aberdeen,
cheers, see you soon,

No Jan I did not bring back any pollen but I am hopeful of receiving some seed from the whites.

It has been a good Erythronium year Fermi, I am looking forward to meeting up with you and many others in a few days time.....

I like your pictures of Cochlearia danica, Ian.  It's lovely to see on dual carriageways at this time of year.  I would love to get hold of seed of the deep pink or purple forms.  There are a couple of places between Aberdeen and Kintore where it would be possible to park the car and collect a few plants but they are on the central reservation and I cannot bring myself to dash across the road, trowel in hand to acquire some.   I noticed when in Sweden a few years ago the salt tolerant roadside 'weed' was another seaside plant Armeria maritima.  Much showier than the Cochlearia.

[Ian Y]

Roma, I Have also been keen to colect the pink form but I  share your caution over venturing into the middle of a busy road however I found a small colony on the coast near Stonehaven and will return when I come back from the Czech Conference to collect some seed.

Ian is enjoying himself in Pruhonice- but left the Bulb Log with me to load - this week he's thinking about ground cover as well as flowers....
