Atlas of Botany: An Exploration of Plants Across Time and Around the World

內容簡介

內容簡介 從最早的綠芽到茂密的熱帶森林，探索植物如何散佈全球並建構出我們的環境。五億年前，當植物首次出現在地球上時，地球的面貌與現在迥然不同。隨著陸地塊移動，植物被帶到一起進行激烈的相互競爭，或是被分開在截然不同的條件下繼續生存。在這段演化旅程中，它們發展出精巧的策略來擴散、擴大範圍並增加多樣性。植物幾乎佔領了地球陸地表面的每一個部分——從熱帶地區到城市人行道的裂縫——並從根本上塑造了地球的自然區域。《植物學地圖集》（Atlas of Botany）繪製了古代世界不斷變化的環境與大陸，以及現代世界的生物群系，探索植物如何克服生存挑戰，以及它們在過程中如何與授粉者及人類互動。在這本華麗的植物圖文書中，您將發現：獨特的信息融合，將植物科學、地理學、自然與人類歷史結合在一起，展現出無與倫比的地球植物生命視角。植物為了在各地生存而演化出的複雜且有時奇特的適應方式。深入了解植物的起源以及它們偏好的生長條件。本書與愛丁堡皇家植物園聯合製作，結合了園藝書、科學書與自然書的最佳元素——收錄精美植物插圖、詳盡的攝影圖像以及清晰簡潔的解釋——講述了植物如何演化、生存並持續繁衍的故事。From the earliest green shoots to dense tropical forests, discover how plants spread across the world to build our environment.Plants first emerged on a very different looking Earth 500 million years ago. As land masses moved, plants were brought together in fierce competition with one another, or separated to continue their lives in very different conditions. On this evolutionary journey, they developed ingenious strategies to disperse and extend their range, and increase their diversity.Plants have populated almost every part of Earth’s land surface – from tropical zones to cracks in city pavements – and have fundamentally shaped Earth's natural regions. Mapping the changing conditions and continents of the ancient world and the biomes of the modern one, Atlas of Botany explores how plants have overcome the challenges of survival, and how they have interacted with pollinators and people along the way.In the pages of this sumptuous botanical book, you will discover:A unique blend of information that brings plant science, geography, nature, and human history together for an unparalleled view of plant life on EarthThe intricate and sometimes bizarre ways that plants have adapted to live everywhereA detailed understanding of where plants come from and the conditions they prefer to grow inProduced in association with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh this beautiful book combines the best elements of gardening books, science books, and nature books – featuring botanical illustrations, detailed photography, and clear, concise explanations – to tell the story of how plants evolved and survived – and continue to thrive.
