 Rating:  - Very helpfulThis book was extremely useful in my plant science class. The prof. taught from it and the images inside are great. Everything is well laid out and I like the chapter summaries and information. This book was expensive, but for me it was worth it! Rating: - ignore that bitter studentI too used this book for my introductory botany class and actually worked for Tom Rost several years later (as my both interest and understanding of the subject grew, neither were affected in anyway but a posistive one from the use of this text).

It has great pictures, and explanations on the basic proceses in plants. This is not a book that a begining self taught person could learn from easily. This is a textbook, not a home gardener's type book. The only drawback is the binding. All the books that I have seen have been falling apart. I would recommend the spiral bound edition or just live with the binding Rating:  - This book is junkI'm a UC Davis student who took the plant biology course that uses this book. The professor doesn't even follow the book because it's so bad. It's unorganized, confusing, and useless for my class. Even some of the illustrations in the book are wrong. Don't buy this book if you just plan to learn plant biology. If you have to buy this book because course requirement, good luck
