In Praise of Plants

What do we know about plants really? Through a rich array of examples many illustrated in the authors elegant and distinctive style this book offers a new look at botany. This scholarly yet fun book examines the qualities that make plants unique so different from animals. Experienced in both the academic and in-the-field sides of science the opinionated Hallé delightfully makes the case that plants differ so profoundly from animals that questions are raised about the meaning of individuality and the nature of life and death.. This book is only available through print on demand. All interior art is black and white.
