| Abstract | Plants are so much part of our environment that we often take them for granted, yet beautiful, fascinating and useful plants are everywhere, from isolated moss colonies on stone walls to vast complex ...ommunities within tropical rainforests. How did this array of form and habitat come about, and how do we humans interact with the plant kingdom? This book provides a refreshing and stimulating consideration of these questions and throws light in a new way on the complexity, ecology, evolution and development of plants and our relationship with them. Coverage includes: the origin of photosynthetic organisms, growth and differentiation, interaction with the environment, reproduction and dispersal, phylogeny, adaptation to habitat, plant uses, history of botanical study.
