There are almost one third of a million species of plants which range in form from unicellular algae a few microns in diameter to gigantic trees that can grow to a height of 100 meters. Plant Life makes sense of the bewildering diversity of plants by treating them not just as photosynthetic factories, but as living organisms that are the survivors of millions of years of evolutionary struggle. The book examines plants from an evolutionary perspective to show how such a wide range of life forms has evolved and continues to thrive. The book is divided into three main sections. The first introductory section sets out the necessary background of evolutionary and taxonomic theory and introduces a classification of living plants based on the ways in which they have evolved. The second part investigates how the challenges of life in the water and on land have led to the evolution of the major taxonomic groups of the plants, and describes the key adaptations that have contributed to the success of each group. The final section shows how the contrasting environments of the world's major climatic zones have led to the evolution of such different floras as those of tropical rainforests, prairies and deserts. This section introduces a fascinating range of plants with ingenious and often bizarre methods of survival and reproduction. The book is enriched by detailed case studies, points for discussion and suggestions for further investigation. In addition, extensive color plates and line drawings bring the world of plants vividly to life. Clear classification charts and a full glossary are also useful. Plant Life is an essential elementary text for undergraduate students and should prove a breath of fresh air for jaded botanists who are accustomed to the traditional taxonomic grind through the plant kingdom. New, environmental approach in keeping with modern course content. Beautifully written in a clear, concise and accessible style. Extensive colour plates, electron micrographs and line drawings bring the world of plants vividly to life. Uses carefully chosen examples of species in each group, so that students are not overwhelmed with excessive information and species lists. Discussion questions at the end of chapters encourages further reading and provides essay topics for teachers. Clear classification charts and a full glossary provide useful material for revision.

First Studies of Plant Life is written with a truly heart-warming purpose. Written by a distinguished academic but pitched at a level which is designed to allow a teacher to captivate a child in the earliest years of school. Atkinson takes the view that reasoning and 'why?' questions are suitable and appropriate for even the tiniest children and should not be held in reserve for a later date. It centres on an understanding of the 'life history' of a plant rather than tedious and traditional encouragements to rote learn and exclude context. George Francis Atkinson tells us in a startling modern way that a child does not best learn about a flower by uprooting it, dissecting and classifying it. Rather they should plant a seed, find out how it germinates, watch it grow, learn about its food, see how it breathes, reproduces and ultimately dies back. For as the author states 'When the child has once become acquainted with the conditions and necessities of plant life, how different will the world seem to him.' The book begins and progresses in an intuitive way. It begins with the particular characteristics of seeds and their peculiarities and progresses all the way on to the root systems, the changing colours of the leaves on trees and the bright momentary flowers and bids by plants for pollination and reproduction. Small engaging experiments suitable for independent learners, homeschooling or teachers in a classroom are outlined and encouraged, further tying the book to an inclusive ethos of hands on learning. A child could hardly fail to fall in love with botany when taught from this book but an adult has scarcely more opportunity to avoid being enthralled.

Excerpt from Nature Studies (Plant Life) This book has been written with the view of helping those non-professional lovers of "Nature Study" who are really interested in the mystery of Plant-life. During the first few years of my experience as a teacher in Glasgow, I followed, in my lectures, the ordinary botanical lines; but in course of time it became evident that, for many of my students, these formal lines were not at all suitable. I have, therefore, of late years, endeavoured, in all popular classes, to follow a different plan, and, as far as possible, to do without technical terms. After all, few students have the intention of becoming professors of botany; though they may all be promising naturalists, and quite capable of doing very valuable service to science, when they have once conquered the initial difficulties. I have been much encouraged in my attempt by discovering that in Germany there is a decided tendency towards the disuse of all but necessary technical terms. In England, the terminology of Botany is fast becoming a sort of Chinese alphabet, which will require so much time to master, that nothing of a lifetime will be left in which to use it in the study of Nature. All students of plant-life, and especially those engaged as teachers in our elementary or higher schools, whose time is exceedingly limited, are appalled at botanical language.

Excerpt from Plant Life and Plant Uses: An Elementary Textbook a Foundation for the Study of Agriculture, Domestic Science, or College Botany This book is for boys and girls who study about plants. It is a book about the fundamentals of plant life, and about the relations between plants and man more than it is a "textbook of botany." Yet it presents, as fully as the author believes to be desirable in required courses, those large facts about plants which form the present basis of the science of botany. These facts also form, it is believed, a minimum of knowledge about plants to which every high school student is entitled. To present this minimum adequately, rather than lengthily to cover a maximum, has been the aim. Appreciation. - The book seeks to give its reader a certain appreciation of plants and of the relationship of plant life to his own life. The study of botany may or may not yield such appreciation. Boys and girls by mere accumulation of organized knowledge about plants may never come to that appreciation of plants as a part of life which is believed to be very desirable, and one of the proper ends of the study of plants in high schools. Delimitations. - The book presents the large essentials of plant life. It emphasizes their significance to man. But it does not pile up specific illustrations and applications which may not illustrate or apply in what is common to the lives of high school students in general. The effort is to include what has proper place in the education of all young people, and to exclude special information which properly has required place only in the education of some young people.

"In this book, the plant stands before the child as a living being, with needs like his own. To live, the plant must be born, must be nourished, must breathe, must reproduce, and, after experiencing these things, must die." George Francis Atkinson was a distinguished professor of Botany, yet when he wrote this book in the 1900s, his sole aim was to capture the life process of plants and tell it in a way that any child could understand. Children are drawn into and amazed by the details of the plants' lifecycles, and find the descriptions and progressions intuitive and easy to follow. The stories of the plants are told as biographies, so the children read them the way they would the story of a caterpillar that transforms into a butterfly. If you are a parent or teacher who struggles to explain to your child the different stages of life, or you'd simply like to get your child interested in gardening, there's no better way to do it. This book simplifies and teaches the lessons of birth, growth and death, through the life of a plant.
