Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 314 pages. There has always been interest in how animals live their lives --- it is easy for us to identify with them. But the re are many remarkable stories about plants that deserve to be to ld. The Nature of Plants tells how plants adapt to the challenges of their habitats. Plants may live in places that provide too li ttle rainfall, yet they thrive, either by evading drought, like t he animals that live in deserts, or by tolerating the scarcity. T here are plants that use other plants, climbing on them, strangli ng some, living in their leafy canopies, or parasitizing them. An d The Nature of Plants explores the love-hate relationships that plants have with animals, some feeding on plants but others drawn into serving plants by pollinating them, scattering their fruits and seeds, or being eaten themselves. The mostly hidden associat ions that plants have with bacteria and fungi are also revealed. Illustrated throughout with superb color photographs, it is writt en in a way that is clear to anyone who wishes to understand the life of plants. Editorial Reviews From Booklist Whether they pr ocreate courtesy of fire or flying insects, bury their roots in s and or salt, thrive in toxicity or bask in treetops, many plants demonstrate a prodigious ability to adapt to punitive conditions and external provocations. In this superlative and erudite resour ce, the authors present the causes and effects of such biological modifications through a vivid and intricate investigation of the realm of environmental challenges plants must overcome to surviv e. From the frigid wastelands of the arctic tundra to the parched expanses of unyielding deserts, habitats that cannot support oth er life forms frequently manage to manifest hospitable conditions sufficient to support some forms of plant life. Positioning thei r findings within a broad context that examines evolutionary patt erns, climatological conditions, and geographic influences, the a uthors provide pertinent background information, thereby enhancin g one's understanding and appreciation of plants' tenacious chara cteristics. Although written in a clear and approachable manner, this scholarly exploration is best suited to the serious student of botany and horticulture.
