The book covers the anatomy, physiology, evolutionary adaptations and reproduction of plants. Every part of a plan is covered: from the cell to the ecosystem and from the roots to the leaves. The pictures and diagrams (and occasional "did you know" tidbits) add to the understanding. The style is very simple yet surprisingly charming, scientific terminology is introduced at a need to know basis without any unnecessary jargon. Following the sentencing, NCA Branch Commander Craig Watson said he hoped their sentences sent out a clear warning to those planning to deal drugs. Police want help to find a man who is wanted on suspicion of supplying half a million pounds worth of drugs. Plus I learned random neat things like why plants that eat bugs exist (most live in swampy, nitrogen-poor areas, and evolved insect capture as a source of nitrogen).Like a highly readable textbook, elegant in its thoroughness. I was skeptical at first how studying these biological processes (some of which I already knew about) was going to translate into gardening but I learned so much! It filled all kinds of gaps and reorganized my understanding of biology into more useful structures. While perhaps not as compelling as David Attenborough's The Private Life of Plants, Botany for Gardeners had much more of the basic how-plants-work knowledge that I was seeking at the moment. Attenborough's book focuses on the really incredible natural history of plants all around the world, rather than their basic biology. If you're really interested in plants, I'd suggest you read both, but start with this one.
