Customer Reviews
Superbly presented, very clearly written & useful reference
This book is both beautifully constructed and very clear in all its descriptions and diagrams. It is a great reference and will give any reader an excellent introdution to plant science. I haven't seen another book that comes close to its standard - its only drawback is that is very heavy to carry!
Utterly magnificent
This book is the closest you will get to a biological plant bible. It is well structured, clear, accurate and beautiful - you will need no other book!...
