This book is written in a very clear style so that students of all ages can understand it. I used this book for a college level plant biology class, but I could see people using it as early as middle school for an introduction to botany. It may not be worth the price if you're just buying the book for leisure reading, but remember that you're paying for a textbook.

I too used this book for my introductory botany class and actually worked for Tom Rost several years later (as my both interest and understanding of the subject grew, neither were affected in anyway but a posistive one from the use of this text). I used an older version which included a rudimentary section on fungi (I'm not sure if this edition does) as the book was written to mirror the original content of course taught a UCD but other than that it has just what you'd want to know to get you feet wet in botany. I have this book in paper back - the binding is cracking and I have officallly had pages fall out but I still pull this book out occasionally for use.

This book was extremely useful in my plant science class. The prof. taught from it and the images inside are great. Everything is well laid out and I like the chapter summaries and information. This book was expensive, but for me it was worth it!

Item arrived on time, a little more beat up than I expected but still useable. I wish that I had known that the InfoTrac was just a code, I almost complained to the seller.Plant Biology (with InfoTrac )
