[HR][/HR]Overview and Contents Interweaves contemporary ideas with classical interpretations Refreshing style, advocating a more ecological and process-oriented approach to plant sciences Beautifully illustrated throughout with colour photographs Plants are so much part of our environment that we often take them for granted, yet beautiful, fascinating and useful plants are everywhere, from isolated moss colonies on stone walls to vast complex communities within tropical rainforests. How did this array of form and habitat come about, and how do we humans interact with the plant kingdom?
