Plant Anatomy: A Concept-Based Approach to the Structure of Seed Plants by Richard Crang (PDF)

Description

Intended as a text for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students and as a potential reference, this broad-scoped resource is extensive in its educational appeal by providing a new concept-based organization with end-of-chapter literature references, self-quizzes, and illustration interpretation. The concept-based, pedagogical approach, in contrast to the classic discipline-based approach, was specifically chosen to make the teaching and learning of plant anatomy more accessible for students. In addition, for instructors whose backgrounds may not primarily be plant anatomy, the features noted above are designed to provide sufficient reference material for organization and class presentation. This text is unique in the extensive use of over 1150 high-resolution color micrographs, color diagrams and scanning electron micrographs. Another feature is frequent side-boxes that highlight the relationship of plant anatomy to specialized investigations in plant molecular biology, classical investigations, functional activities, and research in forestry, environmental studies and genetics, as well as other fields. Each of the 19 richly-illustrated chapters has an abstract, a list of keywords, an introduction, a text body consisting of 10 to 20 concept-based sections, and a list of references and additional readings. At the end of each chapter, the instructor and student will find a section-by-section concept review, concept connections, concept assessment (10 multiple-choice questions), and concept applications. Answers to the assessment material are found in an appendix. An index and a glossary with over 700 defined terms complete the volume.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I am using this book for my upcoming Plant Anatomy course. I know some of the more old school instructors out there prefer the more classic texts, but this book has colored high quality pictures and has actually received updates in the last 30 years. Its really a no brainer choice for the modern plant anatomy classroom.

⭐An excellent comprehensive textbook on plant anatomy. The book contains many impressive photographs and is very up to date. This may be the best book on plant anatomy available today.

⭐I love it and beautiful photographs!

⭐I bought the book just after reading the headline “Plants use water, and the properties of water, in unique ways”. This told me that the book was above average, and my anticipation was fully confirmed when I received it. A beautifully edited book with fantastic, high resolution pictures, most of which were made on purpose by the authors themselves. I recommend it to everybody with an interest in plant anatomy. Last advice: buy it in paper version. This is not a book to store in the PC.

⭐A fine way to learn how plants are made and work: numerous beautiful detailed pictures and a very good text. Congratulations to the Authors and the Editor, a great book!

⭐Long anatomy study of plants. Excellent reference book
