This is an excellent reference book! As a student in herbalism I have turned to this book many times.
The book is includes illustrations and text that is straight forward.
I also appreciate that this edition includes changes in nomenclature and taxonomy.
I would recommend this book to anyone interested in plants, whether in a formal learning environment or as a hobbyist!

I've been a fan of this book since I first started teaching sustainable horticulture at my college. The author has a writing style that seamlessly simplifies the technical aspects of botany and makes it meaningful to the gardener. Lots of my students began the course by wondering why they needed to know the science, and this book does a great job of connecting those two things. The book is nicely illustrated with a combination of drawings and photographs. The photographs, in particular, are especially clear and focused on the correct item being discussed without a lot of unnecessary background images. And, finally, the book is comprehensive, covering all aspects of botany that pertain to horticulture. I'd recommend this book for any gardener, and it's also a great reference book for the beginning botany student!

This would be an amazing resource for those studying botany or simply wanting to build their knowledge and understand everything there is to know about plants. It was incredibly thorough and provided easy to follow yet in-depth information answering every question i'd ever had about plants. I'll be recommending this book for our store.
