A great reference book, that teaches you plant identification through plant families and orders yet still contains some of the author's personal reflections, experience, and gathered information. Botany does not seem to be an exact science, and some of the plant families have been officially changed, apparently, since publication. Nonetheless, this book offers an awesome amount of self-education and learning possibilities for any botany fan. ( )
