内容説明
For non-majors and mixed-majors introductory botany (plant biology) courses.
Plant Biology focuses students on the function of plants and the role they play in our world. Organizing around themes of DNA science, global ecology and evolution, the authors emphasize the scientific method to help students develop the critical thinking skills they need to make sound decisions throughout life. This focus on how plants work and the development of critical thinking skills together support the ultimate goal of developing scientific literacy.
