The Cactus Primer presents the amateur cactophile with an excellent
introduction to cactus biology and provides the informed reader
with an invaluable summary of the last forty years' research. This
book goes far beyond books that instruct readers in the
propagation, growth, and care of these plants; addressing matters
of more scientific interest, it takes an integrated approach to the
presentation of the form, physiology, evolution, and ecology of
cacti. The book is unique in that it combines the descriptive
morphology and physiology documented in the scientific literature
with more general observations found in popular publications on
cacti. It provides a new generic classification of the cacti and
contains much new information, including data on photosynthesis,
heat and cold tolerance, computer modeling of ribs, and the effects
of spines. Enhanced by over 400 illustrations and supplemented with
an extensive glossary, this book will appeal to cactus enthusiasts
interested in the classification and growth of cacti, as well as to
plant biologists who use cacti to illustrate desert adaptation and
convergent evolution. Written in accessible style, The Cactus
Primer is bound to serve a dual function as both an instructive
tool and a reference work in cactus biology for years to come.
