'This is a book to treasure. Lavishly illustrated, lovingly written, globally inclusiveA...Readers will find some wonderfully compelling cultural-botanical juxtapositionsA... Representations of plant forms are stunningly presented ... Maps, garden flowers, floras, and portraits of botanists round out the visual feast, all of it accompanied by readable, informative text. Essential. All levels.' -Choice
