The microscopic and chemical parts of plants
by Thomas P. Hanna
"Why don't trees get tired holding their limbs out for a hundred years? Why can a single African violet leaf produce a dozen identical new plants? And why don't plants bleed to death when their leaves fall off naturally? Descriptions of the plant parts too small to see without magnification provide the answers.
The plant's cells and their several specialized working subunits are examined in addition to chemical traits like color, scent, and the hormonal effects that turn leaves toward the light and allow other adaptations to the surroundings. And the major processes driven by chemical changes over time that together are the life cycle of the plant are considered."--BOOK JACKET.
