Summary: An informative guide
Comment: I find the Essential Atlas of Botany to be an informative guide. With a total of 96 pages, this English-language edition was released in 2004. This guide has helped me to gain a better understanding of plant life. There are ten sections: plant anatomy, plant physiology, reproduction, ecology and evolution, algae, fungi, plants, plants and their environment, wild plants and humans, and plants for production. Within these sections are specifics--examples of these are leaves, photosynthesis, asexual reproduction, plant communities and ecosystems, microscopic algae, the higher fungi, mosses and liverworts, deciduous forests, edible wild plants, and gardens. Accompanying the text are helpful color illustrations and photos. The guide also includes a foreword, a contents section, an introduction, and an alphabetical subject index. I recommend this useful guide.


Editorial Review for Essential Atlas of Botany:

This profusely illustrated reference guide offers students and nature lovers a fundamental understanding of all plant life, from the tallest trees to tiny fungal growths. It explains plant formation, growth, and reproduction, both in the wild, and in cultivated fields and plant nurseries. Cross-section illustrations show the parts of fruits and flowers and explain seed germination. Plant life is also presented within the larger context of the Earth's ecosystem. The influence of climates is shown with focus on how plant life differs in desserts, rain forests, and temperate zones. Plants are seen as sources of food, as floral and garden decoration, as wood for lumber, and even as fiber for the manufacture of cloth and rope. The book is filled with photos, artwork, and easy-to-read diagrams and charts, all in full color. It makes a fine reference book for classrooms and school libraries.
