Summary: Great Introductory Botany Text
Comment: Introductory Plant Biology is a classic and continues to improve with each edition. I've used several editions and have always been pleased to see that it is one of the few textbooks that actually contains pertinent and updated information. The artwork is easy-to-understand. The straightforwardness and clarity of cell biology, metabolic schemes, genetics, and especially life cycles are what make this book a success. This 9th Edition of Introductory Plant Biology is the best yet. I've used several college botany textbooks and this is the most straightforward, accurate, error-free, and current book on the market. There are some new authors - Drs. Jansky and Bidlack - who have joined with Stern in this edition. They write like Stern and that makes the book flow very well. The new cell, metabolism, genetics, and biotechnology chapters bring the book up-to-date. And, as expected, Stern et al. have put together the most current taxonomic treatment of plant-related kingdoms on the market. This has been, and continues to be, the only botany textbook that my students read and understand.

Summary: Students Like this Book!
Comment: This is a botany text that students actually read. The appendix offers additional information on medicinal plants and gardening. Many non-traditional students like the book for reference at home. Among textbooks on the market, this is one of the most useful books after students complete the course. I kept my book and use it frequently for gardening tips.

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.
