Description

Green plants are all around us. We are totally dependent on them for food; we cultivate them for our pleasure; and we have used them in a vast number of ways down the centuries to our advantage.

But have you ever wondered how plants work? Where do trees get the material to make wood? How does a bulb 'know' to sprout in the spring? Why are flowers different colours and why do they smell?

This book answers these questions in a charming and accessible way.

From their ability to take energy from sunlight to make their own food to their amazing range of life-sustaining, death-defying strategies, John King explains why plants dominate our planet.

Plants might live life at a different pace from animals but they are just as fascinating.

This is not just a book for keen gardeners and naturalists.

This is a book for anyone who wants to understand why the earth is green.
