Reviews

[Anna Urbanek]

I actually enjoyed it a lot. It's a solid base for people who are just getting into botany and want to understand what it's all about without buying new books or sacrificing a lot of time. The audiobook version is a pleasant experience while gardening or doing household chores.

Found this on my AudioBooks app. I don't exactly agree with it being a good introduction, but then again I listened to it while trying to fall asleep in bed.

Good systematic walk-through of scientific terms and taxonomic branches. However the information is outdated, being from a time when fungi were considered as plants.

A 5hr long audiobook, this book was great for what I think of as basics for botany. I would encourage almost everyone in the world should know at least half of this book. It basically tells of many natural wonders we have around the world, aka plants.
