About this title:
Synopsis: This book presents a concise, up-to-date and fully-integrated discussion of present-day plant taxonomy. It emphasises the dynamic nature of taxonomy which results from it being a fundamental discipline and a synthesis of all biological knowledge. Since publication of the first edition there have been many developments in the subject. Perhaps the most important of these has been the rise in popularity of cladistics, and the author fully discusses this controversial methodology.
Review:
From the reviews of the first edition:
"...a refreshing new approach to plant taxonomy....Read it, use it in class, teach from it. It deserves to be the newest standard among plant taxonomic texts." Taxon
From the reviews of the first edition...
"It is well-ordered, provides the background essential to understanding and stimulates the student to progress further by introducing more specialized areas. An extensive literature list is appended." British Journal of Linnean Society
