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.

Attractive, superb high quality photographs and illlustrations with informative text
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.

A really nice compendium of facts and science around plants. A must have on any bookshelf.
One for the connoisseurs, a fine volume published by DK and Kew Gardens. This is the most technical and scientific gardening / plant books I have ever seen that is aimed at households and enthusiasts. A completely clear and precise look at what is the world of plants and how they thrive in the challenges of their habbitat. Other scientific texts i've read rarely take this perspective nor approach, which i really think looses a lot of the complex reasons for their adaptations; this book is amazingly well written and well researched. It is a must have and buy for your bookshelf. You will find it facinating. It is a quality hardback and quality paper. Beautiful illustrations and pictures. I have read it cover to cover and are still enthrawled to reread it. Fantastic value for money and a must buy, Andrew
