'The style of illustrations will be of value by the stressed undergraduate ... This book is based entirely on excellent line drawings which would be easy for an undergraduate to remember and perhaps even reproduce ... Overall, this is definitely a book I will enjoy to have around for reference and teaching purposes.' - New Phytologist 'The contents are comprehensive and cover all areas found in first and second year courses. Agriculture and horticulture students would find this book useful. I would recommend this book to my students.' - Dr Nick Smirnoff, University of Exeter 'In conclusion, this book provides a very useful supplement to lecture notes and probably deserves to be on the 'recommended reading' list for every plant biology module/course. A good book, at a very good price. Well done to the authors!' Annals of Botany
