Editorial Reviews

Review

Visually stunning, it’s an engrossing overview of Earth’s remarkable and diverse plant life that provides opportunities for ongoing discovery on every page.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Elegantly encapsulating these dizzyingly diverse and ubiquitous wonders, Scott’s photographic illustrations, too, offer astronomical appeal. Complete with an index and sources for suggested reading, this dazzling display is ideal for classroom and coffee-table collections, budding botanists and curious kids, and everywhere—and everyone—in between.
—Booklist (starred review)

A beautifully constructed compendium of plant life from around the world that offers up a visual and informational treat for future botanists and casual browsers alike...The large format, sumptuous artwork, and thoughtful writing put this one a cut above the rest and make this a must-have for any library that can house it.
—School Library Journal

As in companion volume Animalium by Jenny Broom and also illustrated by Scott (2014), the digitally colored images are not drawn to scale but are rendered with as much attention to visual impact as to exact, formal anatomical detail...a big, decorative, eye-filling survey.
—Kirkus Reviews

This title makes a sizable claim to operate as a museum of world plants, and it delivers in a big way...The text is accessible to 3rd grade classrooms (pictures will impress those even younger), yet will still offer interest to secondary grades for botany class or browsing.
—School Library Connection

Containing everything from perennials to bulbs to tropical exotica, this wonderful feast of botanical knowledge is complete with superb cross sections to show how plants work.
—Houston Lifestyles & Homes

5 Star Book; BUT 2 Star Packaging!
4 Stars
5 Star Book; BUT 2 Star Packaging!
Amazon needs to put at least some packing around the corners and cover to prevent damage as the book shifts in the box (see pictures of 3 corners damaged). I also just notice the beautiful embossed gold “Welcome to the Museum” “ticket” in the top corner is scratched (see picture). I really wanted this as a beautiful coffee table book. It’s a shame because this could have been prevented.

Wonderful layout, intuitive design for reviewing as flip book, no clipping, and no common annoying issues. Kindle version doesn’t feel like a compromise - which I find pretty rare. feels high quality.

I bought the kindle version for myself after seeing someone on YouTube using this book as inspiration for natural shapes in their art work. While I unfortunately don’t remember the video artist this book stuck in my head. The kindle version is beautifully presented on my iPad. Thought viewing is better in portrait and I love how you can really zoom in on details. The art in the illustrations are wonderful. I really feel inspired by the illustrations.

I am really impressed with the quality of the hardcover, thickness of the paper and print quality.
It would be a good choice if you want to have a general understanding of botony without getting too dense. Each species is shown with beautiful artwork. I am very happy with this purchase. I think anyone interested in nature can get into this book.
