This beautiful mix of art and science offers a breathtaking look at
the way that contemporary scientific discoveries are changing our
understanding of plants and plant evolution. 136 botanical
paintings from the Shirley Sherwood Collection, by 84 artists,
cover 50 orders of plants in 118 families, and a total of 133
species, providing a sweeping overview of the evolution of plants
on earth. The paintings display a sampling of the living world from
fungi to daisies, including algae, mosses, ferns, conifers and
flowering plants, arranged in the most up to date evolutionary
sequence, determined by recent DNA analysis. The text places each
artist's observations in the context of modern plant
classification, providing readers with a new understanding of the
complex interrelationships between plant species, and enhancing
their appreciation of the botanical artist's ability to portray the
delicate beauty of nature.
