The Science of Plants

Fascinating and beautifully illustrated book that brings the hidden world of plants to life. It explains complex plant biology in an easy-to-understand way, making it perfect for both beginners and plant enthusiasts. The visuals are stunning and truly enhance the learning experience. This book is a must-have for anyone curious about the incredible science behind plants!"

Excellent detailed photos and illustrations. Presented much new to me information with out getting dry and bogged down.

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.

I got this as a gift for a plant enthusiast and he loved it. The pictures are vibrant, the book is dense, and it is easy to read. It's both functional and a nice tabletop accessory.

This is one of my favorite smithsonian books. It is suitable for ages 8 and up. The illustrations are beautiful ! It is a well made and heavy book. i hope the binding will stay intact. highly recommended.

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.

I got this as a gift for my mom and she found it very fascinating! She loves nature so this was perfect for her. It’s a pretty big book so it was nice and sturdy.

Excellent coffee table book with stunning photos and interesting botanical facts.
