From their ability to use energy from sunlight to make their own
food, to combating attacks from diseases and predators, plants have
evolved an amazing range of life-sustaining strategies. Written
with the non-specialist in mind, John King's lively natural history
explains how plants function, from how they gain energy and
nutrition to how they grow, develop and ultimately die. New to this
edition is a section devoted to plants and the environment,
exploring how problems created by human activities, such as global
warming, pollution of land, water and air, and increasing ocean
acidity, are impacting on the lives of plants. King's narrative
provides a simple, highly readable introduction, with boxes in each
chapter offering additional or more advanced material for readers
seeking more detail. He concludes that despite the challenges posed
by growing environmental perils, plants will continue to dominate
our planet.
