Description: Contemporary Plant Systematics, Hardcover by Woodland, Dennis W.; Barkman, Todd (CON); Rieseberg, Loren H. (CON); Crompton, Cliff (CON); Evans, Tim (CON), ISBN 1883925649, ISBN-13 9781883925642, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US After many years of teaching a basic course in systematic botany to undergraduate students, Woodland (Andrews U., Michigan) decided he had heard enough and made enough critiques of existing textbooks to try his hand at writing one. His goal is a well-illustrated, global-view beginning text that provides students anywhere in the world a fundamental botanical understanding of vascular plants. The information should also be accessible to serious amateur gardeners and botanists who have taken at least a beginning biology course in high school or college. He discusses such topics as how plants get names, collecting and handling specimens, the history and development of the classification system, the literature, contemporary views of the origin of vascular plants, and preserving biodiversity. Chapters also look in detail at families of pteridophytes, gymnosperms, and angiosperms. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
