"A fascinating and in-depth look at the endless wonders of the plant kingdom. Join botanist Scott Zona on a journey into the incredible world of plants. [This book] is a fun botanical romp that introduces the science behind how and why plants are at the foundation of all life on Earth. In layman's language, you'll unearth what separates plants from people and how the adaptations they've developed over eons influence what plants look like today and how they grow and survive in a tremendous diversity of climates."-- Back cover.
