 - Very good but also accessibleWell written - a very clear and good account of plant biology and the various concepts involved. Very good illustrations. I'm pleased to say that the chemistry aspect of plant biology is not as overwhelming (or as heavily emphasized) as it can be in some books, that are of a comparable educational level. Rating: - Excellent!OK, so I may be a little biased, but I took Linda Graham's general botany class last year, in which this book is followed to the letter. Although I didn't read the book thoroughly, Professor Graham's lectures covered everything in it. I enjoyed learning the material in this book, as is covers a wide spectrum of things about plants. Although the last couple of chapters (dealing with conservation of resources, etc.) were a bit tedious at times (since it's all stuff that has been pounded into our heads for years), the rest of the book is excellent. A nice blend of pictures, examples, and explanations. Rating: - Great reference book with lots of nice photosI've known many biology textbooks, but this has the nicest and best photos you could ever find. Though this book mainly aims for non-majors, I, a botany graduate student, still find it very useful and informative. Highly recommend this for people who want to know about general plant biology, but have been intimidated by heavy, thick textbooks. |
