Editorial Review

Product Description
This book presents a concise, up-to-date and fully-integrated discussion of present-day plant taxonomy. It emphasises the dynamic nature of taxonomy which results from it being a fundamental discipline and a synthesis of all biological knowledge. Since publication of the first edition there have been many developments in the subject. Perhaps the most important of these has been the rise in popularity of cladistics, and the author fully discusses this controversial methodology. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Introduction
Taxonomy doesn't get the respect it used to, but this important basic science is still alive and kicking.Anyone working on taxonomic treatments of a plant group will find this a useful introduction, reference handbook, and something of a glimpse into the basics (and I mean very basics) of systematics.Appropriate for advanced undergrads and grad students. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description

The field of plant taxonomy has transformed rapidly over the past fifteen years, especially with regard to improvements in cladistic analysis and the use of new molecular data. The second edition of this popular resource reflects these far-reaching and dramatic developments with more than 3,000 new references and many new figures. Synthesizing current research and trends,Plant Taxonomy now provides the most up-to-date overview in relation to monographic, biodiversity, and evolutionary studies, and continues to be an essential resource for students and scholars.

This text is divided into two parts: Part 1 explains the principles of taxonomy, including the importance of systematics, characters, concepts of categories, and different approaches to biological classification. Part 2 outlines the different types of data used in plant taxonomic studies with suggestions on their efficacy and modes of presentation and evaluation. This section also lists the equipment and financial resources required for gathering each type of data. References throughout the book illuminate the historical development of taxonomic terminology and philosophy while citations offer further study.Plant Taxonomy is also a personal story of what it means to be a practicing taxonomist and to view these activities within a meaningful conceptual framework. Tod F. Stuessy recalls the progression of his own work and shares his belief that the most creative taxonomy is done by those who have a strong conceptual grasp of their own research.

Editorial Review

Product Description

Despite their long tradition spices are subject to international modern scientific research. This has made it necessary to disseminate knowledge to a large audience of interest. This book addresses this need by informing the reader about the complex worldwide use of spice plants.

The many spice and aromatic plants are arranged in alphabetical order of their botanical relevance. It includes all species which have been cultivated for the above purposes. It also covers species whose usage has long ceased or which are used only rarely or have become wild. In this respect the author has aimed at comprehensiveness. In total over 1400 plants have been collated.

The very extensive register of literature has been designed to facilitate intensive study of a specific plant or spice. Works both on botany and agriculture, and on chemistry, pharmacodynamics and usage have been considered.

The book is aimed principally at spice and aroma experts, pharmacists, botanists and interested lay persons. But the author also had in mind food chemists, dieticians and agricultural scientists, for whom botany, chemistry and pharmacological aspects may be of interest. It is hoped that those occupied in the spice and aroma industry involved in creating spice blends and the like will also take inspiration from the book.

Editorial Review

Product Description
Although one of the earliest of biological disciplines, plant taxonomy remains an important and relevant aspect of modern botany. A disproportionate emphasis on the practice of plant taxonomy has to some extent caused the science to be seen solely as the activity of plant identification. This book attempts to redress the balance by providing an introduction to the taxonomic theory upon which the identification procedure is based. The second edition has been completely revised and updated by the author and edited by Norman Robson to reflect the rapid advances which have occurred in plant taxonomy since publication of the first edition. ...

    4-0 out of 5 stars An excellent Botany resource!
    This book is an excellent introduction with a lot of valuable information about the study of botany.It is useful to both beginners and people with extensive botanical knowledge.It is definitely not light reading, but an excellent reference for anyone who spends a lot of time concerning themselves with all types of plants.The botanical glossary, diagrams, and family descriptions are particulary useful.This also makes a great companion to a technical botanical identification book.There is also an excellent history of botany but the straightforward explantions of the vast language of botany makes it super handy.

    I purchased it for a two-hundred level college botany course and hope to continue to use it as a professional. ... Read more

    Editorial Review

    Product Description

    In the present volume - the sixth of this series - 48 flowering plant families comprising a total of 712 genera are treated. They represent the newly designed eurosid orders Celastrales, Oxalidales and Rosales and the asterid orders Cornales and Ericales. The recognition of these ordinal concepts is the result of numerous recent gene sequence analyses which, for the first time in angiosperm systematics, have provided a reliable higher order classification. The concept of Ericales is largely expanded beyond its conventional limits to make it monophyletic and now includes parts of the erstwhile Ebenales, Lecythidales, Primulales and other orders. The revised circumscription of families such as Ericaceae, Celastraceae and Cunoniaceae owes much to the application of recent molecular studies, and for the same reason in the primulalean families, a complete remodeling of family limits is proposed. ...

    3-0 out of 5 stars Who represents the developing countries?
    The quality of the contribitions in this book varies strongly, some are below a minimum level, like the one of Cullen and Walters. What strikes me most, however, is that not one representative of a developing country was invited to participate. Is taxonomy more or less dead there or conservation not a topic? Presumably the Europeans, especially the British, are thought to be able to take care of everything in this field. Sad and stupid arrogance. ... Read more

    2-0 out of 5 stars Missing pages
    I bought the book and didn't realize it had missing pages until I got to class and my teacher started saying pictures and text were on certain pages, but the pages were missing. It had several times where about five pages were torn out.

    2-0 out of 5 stars Poor Editing
    This book has a lot of errors in it: typos, incorrect page numbering in index, stating chapter numbers in text when no such chapter numbers exist. Very poor! When I reported it to the publishing company rep she gave me the author's phone number. Ha! That should be her job to get the corrections made.

    3-0 out of 5 stars good in information, bad in binding and typos
    The information in this book is well organized and easy to understand, with many diagrams. Unfortunately, after three weeks of use, the binding started coming undone, pages falling out, entire sections of the book are sticking out. The index was bound wrong, such as when it goes from S to the end of T then Z then back to the rest of S. There are many typos and incorrect information based on these typos, such as numbers being off or words misspelled. ... Read more

    3-0 out of 5 stars Many, but not all, water plants...
    We were given a copy of this book by a very generous and thoughtful friend. It has been very useful during our fieldwork in the Okavango Delta of Botswana but... much to my frustration Christopher Cook's exclusion of certain species does not seem entirely justified [I was struggling with Cyperaceae spp.]. However, there are many good illustrations drawn by Dr Cook. Altogether it is an amazing work.
    Ironically, the paper on which it is printed does not like getting wet... it is the kind of paper that sticks in clumps when wet. Perhaps this edition is more damp proof?
    An expensive book but probably an heirloom too. ... Read more
