Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is the most readable textbook I have ever encountered. Other textbooks look pretty, but do not read well."

"I considered the first edition years ago but this new one is a great addition to Introductory Botany and should make our pedagogical work easier and more effective."

"There is no question that your chapters are better…. This is true in terms of organization, main text, and illustration."

This a very good book. It has quizzes and a lot of information. I have learned so much from this course already. It is very interesting and I am even considering switching my major.

For a textbook, this is a beautiful book. The illustrations are an integral part of the book and improved my understanding of the extensive vocabulary. The InfoTrac on-line media was very helpful and helped me to get a good grade in the class.

It was of decent quality. The corners were unfortunately somewhat bent, which probably comes from the shrinkwrap. But other than that, it's just what I was expecting!
