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: Great book for plant lovers - Very in-depth book about all the different structures of plants and how they work.

It’s filed with information on botany and the illustrations are gorgeous. It’s like having a botany class whenever you want to learn something new.

Perfect Gift for my College Student
I bought this book as a gift for my college freshman kiddo. It was on my list of to-buys as it had great reviews as a very in-depth book on plants and plant science with beautiful photos and I thought it would be a nice addition to their bookshelf. It is well-loved, referenced often, and their younger sibling often borrows the book for high school biology.

Just "wow"
Quite simply, this book is phenomenal. The photos and illustrations are stunning from beginning to end, and the content is very well-organized and accessible. It manages to contain tons of information without being overly technical. Hats off to the writers/designers of this book; it really is a huge achievement. For some reason, I recall not having the highest regard for DK books. No longer-- this book and other recent entries (Trees, Microlife, etc.) have set a new standard for "Beautiful Science" coffee table-type books. Other publishers take note.

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.
