I like this text book quite a bit. I keep thinking I'm going to write to Margaret M. to tell here so, her photos alone throughout the book are fantastic. It's thorough, interesting, easy to follow. Wish my professor had actually used it for the class. I liked this book so much, that I returned the rental version, and turned around and bought it, so I could really write in it, highlight etc. I feel it is an asset to my library, and a book I would refer to for other classes.

I am fascinated by plants as a horticulture student and this book is fairly easy to read, yet does a great job of explaining key concepts all the way from the plant cell biology to macro farming techniques and how to use land responsibly.
