Stunning photography and engaging text combine to explain the intimate secrets of both the familiar and exotic, from roses and lilies to rainforest orchids, mangroves, and cacti. Discover how plants in scorching deserts, on frozen mountain peaks, and along coastal shores adapt to the challenging conditions in which they grow. Learn how roots and leaves provide food and energy, and how plants deploy extraordinary strategies to protect their precious resources from animals and insects--from bristly stems, thorny branches, and sticky resin to chemical messages designed to attract help from other creatures. Chapters on roots, stems and branches, leaves, flowers, and seeds and fruits ensure that every part of the plant is thoroughly explored. Meet plants with leaves that eat meat, flowers that use color and scent to communicate with their pollinators, and trees that withstand hurricanes, as well as seeds and fruits designed to travel phenomenal distances to fertile ground. To complete the picture, there is a detailed catalog of more than 70 significant plant families--from onions and orchids to tree ferns, horsetails, and club mosses--together with a full list of all the families in the plant kingdom."--cSource other than the Library of Congress. 0aPlantsvPictorial works. 0aPlantsxIdentification. 0aBotanyvPictorial works. 0aBotanical illustration. 6aBotaniquevOuvrages illustrés. 6aIllustration botanique. 7aBotanical illustration.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00836840 7aBotany.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00836869 7aPlants.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01065823 7aPlantsxIdentification.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01066043 7aillustrated books.2aat 7aIllustrated works.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01423873 7aPictorial works.2fast0(OCoLC)fst01423874 7aIllustrated works.2lcgft 7aOuvrages illustrés.2rvmgf1 aFewster, Helen.1 aDouglass, Megan.1 aGerhard, Karyn.1 aAmbrose, Jamiec(Author of nature books for children)1 aBayton, Ross.1 aCandeias, Matt.1 aJose, Sarah.1 aMikolajski, Andrew.1 aRipley, Esther.1 aSummers, David.2 aSmithsonian Institution.2 aRoyal Botanic Gardens, Kew.2 aDK Publishing, Inc.
