Botanicum

Product Information

Kathy has published extensively and has authored or co-authored over 100 scientific publications, including the landmark book The Evolution of Plants, now in its second edition. Featuring plantlife of all kinds, from right around the world, it's a stunning celebration of all things botanical. Elegantly encapsulating these dizzyingly diverse and ubiquitous wonders, Scott’s photographic illustrations, too, offer astronomical appeal. The others we have are The Story of Life: Evolution and Animalium, both of which my son loves and we read often. Enciklopēdija mūsu mājās ir jau sen un laiku pa laikam to izņemu, lai papētītu kopā ar bērnu kontekstā ar dabā novēroto, bet vairāk jau vienkārši, lai pamielotu acis ar kaut ko skaistu.

Muzeum Zwierząt", które z resztą już sobie zamówiłam, w związku ze zbliżającą się datą mych urodzin.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. Kathy Willis's illustrations are eye-popping and wonderfully huge in this oversize book -- I especially love the double-page "Tree of Life" spread. Even if you accept the theory of evolution (see Evolution: Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton for a great intro into some of the issues with the theory) the amount of guesswork presented as fact is concerning. The amazing illustrations are present (which easily get at least 4 stars) but instead of sticking to facts, the author takes us through her idea of how plants evolved and when.

This book is a treasure and plant lovers (and soon-to-be plant lovers) of ALL ages will find themselves immersed for hours observing the detail of these beautiful illustrations by Katie Scott and reading the explanations by Kathy Willis that is all about each particular plant.

Believe me, прочитати перше видання підручника Морозюк (з усіма респектами до “першого вітчизняного шкільного підручника з ботаніки”) з його переускладеною лексикою та манерою викладу, ніби то для дуже замотивованих студентів, а не для школярів, за два дні – це нефігова психологічна травма.In August 2015, Kathy was awarded the prestigious Michael Faraday Prize from the Royal Society for her excellent work in science communication. And because it is written for younger readers, the science of plants is explained simply and powerfully. Unusually for a non-fiction tome, Botanicum makes brilliant use of white space to ensure that the reader doesn’t feel like they need a magnifying monocle to read the text.

Everything about this book is visually appealing – the fonts, the colours, the layout – hell, even a cross-section of a breadfruit made Mad Martha want to pull out her crochet hooks and start recreating it in yarn.Even more so when this could have been a very compelling book that served as a lovely springboard into a love of botany. The book has the kind of illustrations that you want to tear out (carefully), frame and put on your wall.
