Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology FROM THE PUBLISHER
In biology, three topics are so important, so fundamental, that they must permeate every aspect of an introductory botany textbook and should be mentioned or alluded to on every page: they are evolution by natural selection, analysis of botanical phenomena, and diversity of organisms and their components.
SYNOPSIS
Mauseth (University of Texas-Austin) emphasizes evolution by natural selection, analysis of botanical phenomena, and diversity of organisms and their components in this text/CD-ROM package for an introductory course. The CD-ROM contains animations, tutorials, and three full- scale experiment simulations. New to this third edition are boxes on differences between plant and human biology and expanded exercises.

FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
A colorfully inviting introductory botany textbook that stresses the ideas of evolution by natural selection, the analysis of biological phenomena and diversity, and the diversity of organisms and their components. The topics proceed from the most familiar--structure, to the less familiar--metabolism, to the least familiar to most beginning students--genetics, evolution, the diversity of organisms, and ecology.
