Kurzbeschreibung
A clear nontechnical explanation of how plants work. It succeeds in explaining the complex processes of plant growth, functions, adaptation, responses, and reproduction in simple language. As the author intended, the gardener can come to understand plants "from the plant's point of view."
Der Verlag über das Buch
A readable introduction to botany for non-scientists
How do plants grow? What exactly is photosynthesis? How did plants evolve and how do they adapt to environmental stress? What does each part of a flower do? How do plants reproduce and pass on their genes?
How do plants grow? What exactly is photosynthesis? How did plants evolve and how do they adapt to environmental stress? What does each part of a flower do? How do plants reproduce and pass on their genes?
This highly readable introduction to how plants work answers all these questions and more, always looking at botany from a gardener's point of view. Capon explains the structure and function of plants in clear, understandable language, including and defining all the relevant scientific terms. The book introduces readers to cell structure and function, plant growth processes, the many ways plants adapt to protect themselves from predators and the environment, and how plants meet their basic needs for food and water. Photosynthesis, reproduction, and the aging process are explained, and the fascinating processes necessary for the transmission of genes are discussed in detail. Excellent color photos, line drawings, and diagrams accompany the lucid text. Botany for Gardeners never ceases to receive fan mail from grateful plant lovers who now look at plants in a whole new way.

Format:Taschenbuch
Capon gets down to business and explains how plants work. No more will the reader/gardener utter such pablum as "pinching forces energy down instead of up in the plant." She/he will intelligently note that pinching the apical meristem decreases the hormones that control upward growth, thus increasing the activity of hormones controlling lateral growth. Very well explained facts about how plants do what they do.
Format:Taschenbuch
Capon obviously loves his subject and is that rare science writer who can make his subject into an adventure, a romance, a thriller, an action-packed story. One of the best lay-science books I've ever read in any field and a must for anyone who loves plants.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is easy to understand. It is interesting while technical and educational without losing you in scientific monotony. It has helped me understand my plants and make good technical based decisions for their care. I wanted to delve deeper because of this book.
