Plant Life. A Text Book of Botany

نویسنده

  • A. F. Hill
چکیده

This book, which is adapted to a one-semester course, presents the subject of botany to the beginning student in an interest-compelling manner. Instead of giving too many facts regarding the various topics at the outset the student's curiosity is first stimulated by simple questions and problems and later a more complete discussion is given. The emphasis throughout the book is on function rather than structure and the life processes of plants are treated in such a manner as to give an interesting and at the same time thorough insight into the nature of plants and their activities. Technical terms are avoided as far as possible and are only introduced when absolutely necessary. They are clearly explained in the text and are also defined in a glossary. The chapters are grouped under the following headings: The Living Plant; Plants and Their Surroundings; Plants and Their Food; The Growth of Plants; Reproduction in Plants; The Different Kinds of Plants; Plants Past and Present; and Relation of Plants to Each Other and to Animals. A. F. HILL.
