Combining graceful design and beautiful imagery, this book provides an elegant introduction to the plant kingdom. Discover the extraordinary diversity of the plant world―and how plants work―with this photographic celebration of the trees, flowers, and foliage plants that share our planet. From tiny mosses and delicate ferns to vibrant blooms and stately palms, The Science of Plants invites you to explore the plant kingdom from the ground up, and from root to leaf tip. DK’s elegant introduction to botany is packed with sumptuous photos and crystal-clear artworks that explain the mechanics of photosynthesis, why leaves change color, how cacti store water, and how seeds know when to grow. Filled with fascinating stories of how plants protect themselves from predators, and how flowers use color and scent to interact with―and manipulate―the creatures around them, The Science of Plants is a fresh and engaging introduction to the mysterious inner workings of the plant world. Review: Just what I needed! - As an adult interested in gardening, I found myself wishing I could remember more about plants from my high school biology days. First, I bought a book on botany that was so boring and hard to read that I gave up pretty quickly. Then, I bought a children's book that just didn't have the amount of detailed info I was looking for. Finally, I bought this book and it's amazing! It has the right combination of detailed info with beautiful photos. It's easy to read and keeps me interested. Just what my middle aged mind needed for learning. -- Brooke Review: Amazing book! Get it for yourself or as a gift for the plant lover in your life - This is an incredible book for any plant person! The detail is amazing and imagery exquisite!

Amazing photos
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.

Maravilhoso
O livro é lindo e correspondeu as expectativas. Porém veio com a capa danificada, rasgada, o que me deixou chateada. Deveriam embalar em plástico bolha antes de colocar na caixa. Veio solto dentro de um caixa grande. O que provavelmente contribuiu para a danificação.
