Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.
Peter Hamilton Raven FMLS (born June 13, 1936) is a botanist and environmentalist, notable as the longtime director, now President Emeritus, of the Missouri Botanical Garden. On June 13, 1936, Raven was born in Shanghai, China to American parents. An uncle of his father's was, for a time, one of the wealthiest Americans in China, but was later jailed in a banking scandal. That incident and Japanese aggression in China led the Raven family to return to San Francisco, CA in the late 1930s.
After becoming a member of the California Academy of Sciences while still a youth, Raven went on to graduate with a BSc in Biology from the University of California, Berkeley in 1957 and a Ph.D. in botany from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1960.

A good read.

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

I originally bought this text as a supplement for a Botany course that failed to take last semester. Even though the class didn't take, I kept the book planning to read over sections when I had the chance to prepare for graduate school. I started reading chapter 1 on a Monday and finished reading the book that Friday. It is an excellently written text that I would recommend for anyone with a solid background in biology and an interest in botany to read. It honestly was hard to put down.

great Independent study resource

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2011

Verified Purchase

Been out of college for a looong time and found this to be an excellent way to refresh my memory. I am using the book as an independent study kinda thing.... The text starts with the basics in a logical and progressive way before taking on more advanced topics. Although the first couple intro chapters cover a LOT of material (organic chem bonding) very fast, it is proving to be an easy to understand and enjoyable look at plant biology. I'm glad to have it!

We purchased this to replace a botany book we had in college and had gotten rid of in the many moves since then; this is a very good reference book for basic botany. Great price for an excellent book!

Very good conditions! I like it, so much. The book is awesome, perfect to study Plant Biology. The seller sent it very quickly and the book looks like new. My major is Forestry, then I'll use this book during four years. I'm really impressed with the book condition, PERFECT!

I believe there are better sources of the information out there

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2016

Compared to my newer textbook "Biological Science" by Scott Freeman, this textbook is a bit clunky. While this textbook has the advantage of being focused on plants only, my other textbook explained photosynthesis SO much more clearly (And wikipedia explained the concepts yet even more clearly. Haha). So if your class requires this, having it is obviously important. But if you wanted to teach yourself or are just curious, I believe there are better sources of the information out there.

Better than the newest editions

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2010

Verified Purchase

The newest edition skips out on the chapters on ecology. This edition has it all. However new research on photosynthesis is obviously not included in this edition. Remember that you can look at much of the newest edition of this book as a preview in Google books.

Very Informative but Very Technical

Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

This book is great for gardeners like me who want to learn more about plants and how they work. It has a lot of graphs, pictures and charts to explain ideas and definitions. It is a text book, and as such is really big and very heavy. Not something to carry out in the field, that's for sure,but a great reference book.

Great help in my botany class. Newer (eighth edition) should be used for the latest info on genetics.
