Summary: Revision much better!
Comment: I've given Dr. Stern another chance (since my review of his 1994 version) and he came through with an excellent revised basic botany text. I'm using it for my course and will continue using it.

Summary: Introductory Plant Biology, 8th Edition
Comment: This text offers students a solid introduction to the plant sciences. At an undergraduate level, the text material is well complimented by diagrams, photos, and drawings. Each chapter begins with a chapter outline and ends with review questions, discussion questions, chapter summaries, and additional readings. The on-line student resources (available via McGraw-Hill Higher Education site) offer weblinks, chapter quizzes, flash cards, and other study aids. This latest edition has an additional chapter on biomes, an expanded biotechnology chapter, etc. I did not find chapter 22, the gymnosperms, to be full of the inaccuracies stated by a previous reviewer. Cycads are plainly listed as the cycadophyta division; ginkgo in ginkgophyta, etc. While no text is perfect, this introductory text comes close and is my chosen text for both the continuing education and the undergraduate botany courses that I teach.
Rating: 4
Summary: A very good intro to Botany book!
Comment: This book provides a very good introductory lesson to Botany. Being an introductory book, it is 100 miles wide and 1 inch deep. It covers quite a bit of material that stretches the mind of someone with a little science background and certainly presents a challenge for those without any background. No introductory book will be right on target with everything; as for systematics, there are two sides to every issue and this book claims one side of the classifications controversy.
