Botany for Gardeners

Product Information

The only qualm I had with the book was that he kept talking about fungi as though they belonged in a book about botany. He did clarify that they are not plants, but then went right on saying things like "Plants like fungi this, other plants that." Highly unprofessional. He said: "With or without drugs, the NCA with our law enforcement partners will identify you, trace you then disrupt and dismantle your organisation.

While perhaps not as compelling as David Attenborough's The Private Life of Plants, Botany for Gardeners had much more of the basic how-plants-work knowledge that I was seeking at the moment. Attenborough's book focuses on the really incredible natural history of plants all around the world, rather than their basic biology. If you're really interested in plants, I'd suggest you read both, but start with this one. Police want help to find a man who is wanted on suspicion of supplying half a million pounds worth of drugs. Brian Capon, 32, originally from Moreton Avenue, Stretford, is suspected of involvement in a criminal group distributing cocaine, cannabis and amphetamine in the Manchester area, though there is information to suggest he may recently have left the region.

The book covers the anatomy, physiology, evolutionary adaptations and reproduction of plants. Every part of a plan is covered: from the cell to the ecosystem and from the roots to the leaves. The pictures and diagrams (and occasional "did you know" tidbits) add to the understanding. The style is very simple yet surprisingly charming, scientific terminology is introduced at a need to know basis without any unnecessary jargon. Following the sentencing, NCA Branch Commander Craig Watson said he hoped their sentences sent out a clear warning to those planning to deal drugs. The National Crime Agency is now appealing for help to find a third man who is wanted in connection with the investigation - Kurt McDonough from Bolton. When I started reading Botany for Gardeners by Brian Capon I was a little bit disappointed. I was hoping for more "for gardeners" and a lot less "botany" - an introduction to gardening on solid botanical grounds.
