Why Do Pitcher Plants Eat Bugs?: And Other Odd Plant Adaptations

by Brianna Battista

Because of plants' sedentary lives, they're not often placed among the more bizarre organisms on Earth. This beguiling book contains plenty of peculiar plants to entice future botanists. They'll find out about carnivorous pitcher plants as well as many other kinds of valuable vegetation and why they've developed similarly strange adaptations. This is a perfect way to delve into the study of plants and plant parts, a key part of life science curricula. Readers will never look at plants the same way again.
