The Science of Plants: Inside their Secret World (DK Secret World Encyclopedias)

Love just to look at the high quality photos...but the information about the plants and the details about them are not just perfect as a coffetable book. For intrested kids or grown ups...a lot to discover about the plant world.

An excellent book for inquisitive older teenagers and adults to understand how plants are adapted to the the niches in the diverse ecosystems that we must maintain for the wellbeing of all life life on the Earth, the oxygen we breathe, the diversity of resources for food and discovering new medicines, to maintain natural soil fertility, and to restabilise the global climate system.

Very nice book for your shelves if you like plants

Informative, comprehensive, readable. A good resource for those with little in-depth knowledge of plants and botany.

Used for personal knowledge expansion. Very in depth. Great photos. Highly recommend!

Bought for myself but also for home ed teens to provide gcse biology support.

I paint botanical water colours, this book gives a more in-depth description, anyone that is painting botanical art should buy this book, hours of reading giving a better understanding to plant life..

I was drawn into getting this book for my boys (5 and 7) by the beautiful photos and amazing imagery. What we have enjoyed most however is the way the book is structured. It is not a encyclopaedia of plants from A to Z, instead it is structured around the elements and features which plants have in common or that make them unique. This makes for a far more engaging and informative read. Just flicking through the amazing images is also great.
