Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology

Botany: An Introduction to Plant Biology, 7th Edition, offers an overview of essential botanical science. The textbook maintains a central focus on natural selection, plant diversity, and the analysis of botanical phenomena.

The volume links structural plant anatomy directly to physiological function while exploring broader biological principles. Integrated across every chapter are themes of ecology, evolution, and the impact of humans on other species and the natural environment.

Written for both biology majors and non-majors, the text includes dedicated Thinking About Thinking boxes that encourage critical reasoning, experimental design, and evidence-based decision-making.
