Wonderful (except for the website) February 10, 2005
25 out of 26 found this review helpful

This book is fantastic--very clear, concise, overall well-written. I have absolutely no background in botany but feel very satisfied and confident with what I've learned from this book. The illustrations are especially well done and are useful in understanding the nuts (no pun intended!) and bolts of plant structures and biological processes.

I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the website is often not functional or is down.
