Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"In association with Kew, Royal Botanic Gardens."<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Let the experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens guide you around the beautiful and mysterious world that is the plant kingdom. </b> <p/>From regulating the air we breathe to providing food, clothes, fuels, and medicines - plants are fundamental to our lives. Discover an extraordinary diversity of species, which includes a grass that grows a meter a day, roots that breathe air, and queen of the night cactuses whose rare blooms vanish before dawn. <p/>In a combination of art and science, <i>Flora</i> celebrates plants from majestic trees to microscopic algae, explaining how they germinate, grow, and reproduce. It presents species that have evolved to accommodate pollinating insects such as the foxglove, and plants that have adapted to flourish in even the most hostile of habitats. <p/>Pierre-Joseph Redoute in the 18th-century was described as the Raphael of flowers. <i>Flora</i> showcases his botanical paintings as well as those of Georg Ehret and others in this gorgeous visual celebration of plants through the ages. <p/>Whether you are a keen gardener, naturalist, or botany student, this beautiful book is a treat that will entice, inform, and amaze.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>DK was founded in London in 1974 and is now the world leading illustrated reference publisher and a member of the Penguin Random House division of Bertelsmann.
