1. Plant Biology (with InfoTrac) by Thomas L. Rost,
Michael G. Barbour, C. Ralph Stocking, Terence M.
Murphy, Paperback: 568 pages, Publisher: Brooks Cole
This complete introduction to the science of plant
biology gives you and your students the best of both
worlds: a text that thoroughly covers all the content of
a typical first course in botany with just the right
amount of detail to keep the text at a desirable and
manageable length. The text focuses on clarity,
efficiency of presentation, and pedagogy to facilitate
student understanding.
2. Introductory Plant Biology by Kingsley R Stern,
Jim Bidlack, Shelley Jansky, Hardcover: 640 pages,
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math
This introductory text assumes little prior scientific
knowledge on the part of the student. It includes
sufficient information for some shorter introductory
botany courses open to both majors and nonmajors, and is
arranged so that certain sections can be omitted without
disrupting the overall continuity of the course. Stern
emphasizes current interests ethnobotanical while
presenting basic botanical principles.
3. Biology of Plants by Peter H. Raven, Ray F. Evert,
Susan E. Eichhorn, Hardcover: 875 pages, Publisher: W.
H. Freeman
A text for undergraduates, this is an invaluable general
botany reference. The text is very readable, yet covers
the material in great depth, which is no small feat
considering the scope of the book. The explanations are
extremely lucid and the diagrams and photographs are
excellently researched and displayed.
4. Introductory Botany: Plants, People, and the
Environment by Linda R. Berg, Hardcover: 466 pages,
Publisher: Brooks Cole
The goals of This textbook are to share with beginning
botany students an appreciation of the diverse organisms
we call plants and to help students understand how
scientists think, how they approach and solve problems,
and how they obtain scientific knowledge about our
world. The overall theme of This textbook is the role of
plants in the biosphere, and in keeping with that theme,
related environmental issues are integrated into each
chapter. The environmental emphasis, which is unique
among introductory botany texts, provides students with
relevancy and kindles their interest in plants. A second
theme, botany as a scientific process, is also stressed
throughout.
5. Photo Atlas for Botany by James W. Perry, David
Morton, Paperback: 140 pages, Brooks Cole
This full-color atlas includes photos of botanical
specimens, utilizing light, transmission, and electron
microscopy. It also contains macro photography of whole
specimens, microscope parts and techniques, and
biological tests commonly used in the laboratory.
6. The Biology of Horticulture: An Introductory
Textbook by John E. Preece, Paul E. Read, Hardcover: 496
pages, Publisher: Wiley
Stresses the scientific foundation concerned with the
growth and care of plants common to all horticultural
commodities. Incorporates the principles behind
techniques described in other ``how-to'' horticulture
texts. Will successfully prepare students for more
specialized courses including nursery management,
floriculture, landscaping, vegetable and fruit science.
7. Wetland Plants: Biology and Ecology by J. K. Cronk,
M.S. Fennessy, Hardcover: 488 pages, Publisher: CRC
Press
A detailed account of the biology and ecology of
vascular wetland plants and their applications in
wetland plant science, This textbook presents a
synthesis of wetland plant studies and reviews from
biology, physiology, evolution, genetics, community and
population ecology, environmental science, and
engineering. It provides a thorough discussion of the
range of wetland plants adaptations to conditions such
as life in water or saturated soils, high salt or high
sulfur, as well as low light and low carbon dioxide
levels. Over 140 figures, including over 70 original
photographs, allow you to visualize the concepts, 40
tables give you easy access to definitions and data, and
international examples provide you with a broad base of
information.
