Book
A world of plants / Martin Jenkins & James Brown.
How do plants make their own food? Which ten plants feed the world? How do some plants trick animals? We wouldn't be here today if it weren't for plants. They keep the world going round in intelligent and surprising ways that aren't always visible to the human eye. In this modern collection, marvel at the beauty of plants and understand the science behind what they can do. Find out about tulips and cacti, trees and sacred plants; and through the absorbing text and stylish illustrations, see the botanical world come to life.
