Summary

The Green World set explores the most interesting aspects of plant biology, with a focus on the interrelationships between plants and humans, as opposed to a strict focus on plant anatomy and physiology. Covering everything from forestry to photosynthesis and respiration, to plant development and ecology, this set provides a detailed look at the natural processes that create, build, and sustain life. This informative set meets science curriculum standards and is an essential resource for students interested in plant biology and the way human life plays a role in natural everyday processes.
