This exciting new textbook examines the concepts of evolution as
the underlying cause of the rich diversity of life on earth-and our
danger of losing that rich diversity. Written as a college
textbook, The Diversity and Evolution of Plants introduces the
great variety of life during past ages, manifested by the fossil
record, using a new natural classification system. It begins in the
Proterozoic Era, when bacteria and bluegreen algae first appeared,
and continues through the explosions of new marine forms in the
Helikian and Hadrynian Periods, land plants in the Devonian, and
flowering plants in the Cretaceous. Following an introduction, the
three subkingdoms of plants are discussed. Each chapter covers one
of the eleven divisions of plants and begins with an interesting
vignette of a plant typical of that division. A section on each of
the classes within the division follows. Each section describes
where the groups of plants are found and their distinguishing
features. Discussions in each section include phylogeny and
classification, general morphology, and physiology, ecological
significance, economic uses, and potential for research. Suggested
readings and student exercises are found at the end of each
chapter.
