Descriere
The eighth edition of the highly regarded botany textbook Raven Biology of Plants by Ray F. Evert and Susan E. Eichhorn offers the most significant revision in the book's history.
Every topic has been updated with information from the most recent primary literature. The chapters have been carefully reorganized, with extensive updating of the Diversity Section and the Angiosperm Plant Body Section. The text also includes new photos, illustrations and chapter openers, making the text even more accessible and engaging.
Biology of Plants presents an emphasis on the interrelationships of growth and development, structure and function, and evolution and ecology. A highlight of the new edition is a set of 8 new ecology essays that showcase ecologically relevant stories to bring the concepts to life. They cover a range of topics, from "Google Earth: A Tool for Discovering and Protecting Biodiversity" to the "Doomsday Seed Vault: Securing Crop Diversity" and "Green Roofs: A Cool Alternative".
In addition, a number of supplements will support both you and your students in using Biology of Plants to its full potential.

Caracteristici
Caracteristici noi
- The Diversity Section has been updated based on the emergence of molecular systematics and the comparison of DNA and RNA sequences. Most of the chapters have been reorganized. The latest taxon names have been introduced. All of the cladograms have been revised. The principle of monophyly is followed throughout.
- Significant revision ofthe Physiology of Seed Plants Section. New information has been incorporated in each chapter, including such topics as hormone receptors, the formation of lateral roots, the floral stimulus, thigmonastic movements, strategies to acquire nutrients, nocturnal transpiration, and hydraulic redistribution.
8 NEW ECOLOGY-ORIENTED ESSAYS:
Written by a science writer, these essaysnow supplement the existing ecology-themed essays, e.g.:
- Global Warming:The Future is Now
- Invasive Plants
- Google Earth: A Tool for Discovering and ProtectingBiodiversity
- Coral Reefs and Global Warming
- Doomsday Seed Vault: Securing Crop Diversity
- Green Roofs: A Cool Alternative
MORE ACCESSIBLE - Each chapter has been carefully revised to make it as accessible as possible:
- Thenarrative is clearly written, carefully explained, and well illustrated.
MORE ILLUSTRATIONS, MORE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT:
- Approximately 175 new illustrations and photographs have been added.
