Wow that was a super fast delivery, and the product was as described thank-you very much.

Fabulous

This book was just what I asked for at a great price. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Great delivery!

My shipment came very fast and the book was in brand new condition. I would definitely purchase from again.

The review by Tony Rpince was of the purchase, not the text

Sorry Tony, sounds like you got burnt by a seller. Botany by Mauseth is a great introductory text - not a note book.

Excellent Introduction to Botany

This book is a must for anyone seriously interested in learning about plants and their relation to the other living kingdoms. It is richly illustrated and covers material clearly and in-depth. I have used the first edition for over eight years as 1) a good read and 2) a reference that continues to inform me as a serious gardener as well as an educated layman. The book emphasizes the evolutionary adaptative aspects of plants to their environment. Starting from the basics of chemistry, it covers plant anatomy, physiology, genetics, and taxonomy. It is a wonderful resource.
