The textbook Plants and Society, 9th Edition, provides an introduction to fundamental botany while examining how plant life connects with human society. The text balances scientific explanations of plant biology with analysis covering the economic aspects and social implications of plants and fungi.
Authors Estelle Levetin and Karen McMahon use a multidisciplinary approach to organize the core coverage. Their writing connects fundamental biological principles, plant structure, and ecological interactions to human reliance on plant species and the environmental roles of fungi.
Designed for one-quarter or one-semester introductory courses, this text offers targeted support for college and university students beginning their study of plant science. Instructors in introductory botany courses can utilize this framework to present botanical science alongside its practical human dimensions.
