Riassunto

The ""First Book of Botany"" is an introductory guide to the anatomy and physiology of plants, written by John Hutton Balfour and first published in 1872. The book is designed for beginners who are interested in learning about the structure and functions of plants, and it covers a wide range of topics, from the basic principles of plant growth and development to the more complex processes of photosynthesis and respiration. The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of plant biology. The first section provides an overview of plant anatomy, including the structure of plant cells, tissues, and organs. The second section focuses on plant physiology, discussing topics such as plant growth and reproduction, the role of hormones in plant development, and the mechanisms of photosynthesis and respiration. Throughout the book, Balfour uses clear and concise language to explain complex concepts, and he includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers visualize the structures and processes he describes. The book also includes a glossary of key terms and a list of suggested readings for further study. Overall, the ""First Book of Botany"" is an accessible and informative introduction to the fascinating world of plant biology, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about plants and their functions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
