Book Description
From School Library Journal Grade 6 Up-- ``Visual'' is the operative word. Lush illustrations are organized under categories to explain types, structures, and functions of spe cies within the plant world. Full-color displays cover topics such as fungi
and lichens, gymno sperms, roots, leaves, fertilization, dryland plants, etc. Each section begins with a general overview; extending and complementing that basic description are carefully labelled illustra tions and photographs. The specialized botani
cal vocabulary is not watered down, and the photographs effectively illustrate each term. This is not a dictionary for novices, since the explanations are not extensive enough to in form fully the uninitiated and there is no glos sary. Still, the
striking illustrations could easily stand alone for browsers. --Steve Matthews, Foxcroft School, Middleburg, VA Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
Product Description: Come explore plants from the inside out! This visual
