Publisher's Notes
Plant Systematics contains the essential paradigms, concepts, and terms required for a basic understanding of plant systematics at the graduate or undergraduate level. Plant systematics is an area central to numerous other biological disciplines, and a large subset of plant scientists are required to take a course in plant systematics. Almost all ecologists, horticulturalists, plant developmental biologists, and plant pathologists are interested in plant systematics because it is central to their studies of the plants that form such a large part of every ecosystem and experimental system.
* Contains numerous cladograms that illustrate the evolutionary relationships of major plant groups, with an emphasis on the adaptive significance of major evolutionary novelties
*Provides descriptions and classifications of major groups of angiosperms, including over 90 flowering plant families
* Includes a comprehensive glossary of plant morphological terms as well as appendices on botanical illustration and plant description

The Names of Plants
by D. Gledhill
Written for anyone interested in plants, from the casual gardener to the professional botanist, this book provides a handy reference to the scientific names of plants and provides a clearly written account of the fascinating history of plant nomenclature. Beginning with the reasons for naming plants, the author presents a survey of the nature and problems of plant nomenclature, and of the development of nomenclatural systems and internationally agreed principles governing the formation and use of names in plant science. The largest section of the book is the glossary, which lists many Latin and latinized botanical names, from which the reader may interpret the scientific names of plants from any part of the world. This second edition includes revisions to both the text and the glossary. Comments on synonymous and illegitimate botanical names and a reference to recent attempts to accommodate the various traits and interests in the naming of cultivated plants have been added to the text. The revised glossary includes many commemorative generic names that identify the persons for whom the names were raised and their period in history.
Plants And Society
by Estelle Levetin
This introductory, one quarter/one-semester text takes a multidisciplinary approach to studying the relationship between plants and people. The authors strive to stimulate interest in plant science and encourage students to further their studies in botany. Also, by exposing students to society's historical connection to plants, Levetin and McMahon hope to instill a greater appreciation for the botanical world. Plants and Society covers basic principles of botany with strong emphasis on the economic aspects and social implications of plants and fungi.
