• Basics, But Could Be More Thorough 11 February, 2008
The book covered the major topics of botany, but tended to emphasize dicots, giving the impression all plants are like dicots. I use this for teaching a college course and need to add information on the notable exceptions for plants not used as examples.

• Botany For More Than Just Beginners 09 July, 2008
This definitely is a valuable book for any gardener who's looking for a book on botany. Personally, I was hoping for simpler insights into the miracles that I observe taking place in the garden -- and I did learn a lot from this book. However, while "Botany for Gardeners" was touted as elementary, plowing through it (pun intended) proved to require quite a bit of perseverance. Because the book, admirably, covers all the technical matters in the field of botany, it does tend to be, well, technical. (Botany is, after all, a science!) In the end, I would have preferred something like "Botany for Dummies," but, as yet, there's no such title. But "Botany for Gardeners" will retain a useful place on my garden bookshelf.

For a text book, this reads more like short stories. Very easy to read and understand.
