A bestseller since its debut in 1990, botany professor Brian Capon's concise, abundantly illustrated introduction to botany provides an enjoyably readable overview of the science behind plants for beginning and experienced gardeners. This third edition is expanded and updated to include an appendix on plant taxonomy and a comprehensive index.
"A combination of crisp, friendly writing and detailed, understandable illustrations (both line drawings and photographs) yields a great book that will be a welcome addition to the reference shelf."—Bloomsbury Review
