Introductory Botany 2e - Hardcover

"This is the most readable textbook I have ever encountered. Other textbooks look pretty, but do not read well." "I considered the first edition years ago but this new one is a great addition to Introductory Botany and should make our pedagogical work easier and more effective." "There is no question that your chapters are better.... This is true in terms of organization, main text, and illustration."

Clear and engaging, Linda Berg's INTRODUCTORY BOTANY: PLANTS, PEOPLE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT helps you develop an appreciation of the diverse organisms we call plants, including their remarkable adaptations to the environment and their evolutionary and ecological relationships. Filled with fascinating feature boxes, intriguing chapter-opening stories, and other applied content, the text contains interesting and topical information that will pique your curiosity and help you succeed in your course. Berg shows you the many ways in which plants are fascinating in their own right, important for the existence of all life on Earth, and useful for humans in all aspects of our lives. INTRODUCTORY BOTANY: PLANTS, PEOPLE, AND THE ENVIRONMENT is beautifully and clearly illustrated and features a dynamic art program that helps you visualize even the most complex concepts.
