How Plants Work Form, Diversity, Survival

"This fascinating and richly illustrated book reintroduces us to the world of plants and the intricacies of their existence, including how they live, grow and reproduce. It is an intimate, close-up portrait that deepens our understanding of the commonplace and the exotic. At the same time, it reveals the beauty of plants in new ways. The diversity of plants is brought to life through exemplars that engage, and through insights that enrich. To borrow a phrase from Darwin, there is grandeur in this view of plants. I am sure you will enjoy it."--Avant-propos.
