Book Reviews of The Evolution of Plants
Book Review: Fossil plants
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a user friendly sized book reviewing the evolution of plants. The oldest plants are found in rocks 3,500 million years old, the stromatolites and prokaryotes. From that beginning the book describes the evolution of the mosses and ferns, and the living trees with the longest geologic history: Cycads, and Ginkgos. The rest of the book describes the evolution of Gymnosperms and Angiosperms and flowering plants.
Well written and comprehensive, but not encyclopedic. I enjoyed reading and refering to it.
