Exactly what I was looking for!
A good, clear, unpoliticized botany textbook
1982, written by the “senior scientist” at the New York Botanical Gardens
40 page Introduction
120 pages on Cells and their components. Very good.
350 pages on Organisms (prokaryotes, algae, fungi, bryophytes, pteridophytes, gymnosperms, angiosperms)
80 pages on Populations & Communities
Although I learned a lot, mainly in the first half of the book, the number of specialized terms in botany became exceedingly tedious. show more My favorite ❤️ part was in learning about the “excitons” and molecules like “P650” in the photosynthetic process. Fascinating! show less
