Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the chronological evolution of plant classification. Beginning with the writings of philosophers in ancient Greece and Rome, the author traces the role of scientists from the mid-1700s on their journey to develop an understanding of plant diversity in the natural world. The evolution of plant classification, leading to the two overarching divisions of Gymnosperms and Angiosperms, detailed accounts of the scientists who contributed to this evolution, and an insightful account of the botanical terminology that evolved alongside the discipline make this book an invaluable resource for botanists and students of the field. The insights within this book are essential in understanding the methods and history behind modern plant classification.
