description: In the final analysis man, be he botanist, gardener, or plain homo sapiens, is utterly dependent on plants, while they can exist quite happily without them. This book literally provides a plants-eye view of the world. Plants And Planets illuminates their life cycle from germination to death, their life styles, their chemistry and structure, their capacities for colonization, their opportunism, and their amazing sex life - all based on water, air, and soil and fueled by their unique ability to convert light into energy.
