Item description from seller

301, 26 col photos, 145 text figs. . HB. Fine in d/w. An entertaining and informative look at why ferns and their relatives are unique among plants. Ferns live in habitats from the tropics to polar latitudes, and unlike seed plants, which endow each seed with the resources to help their offspring, ferns reproduce by minute spores. There are floating ferns, ferns that climb or live on trees, and ferns that are trees. There are poisonous ferns, iridescent ferns, and resurrection ferns that survive desert heat and drought. The relations of ferns and people are equally varied. The author sheds light on Robinson Crusoe's ferns, the role of ferns in movies, and how ferns get their names. This book provides just what is needed for those who wish to grow ferns or observe them in their habitats with greater understanding and appreciation. [9780881926675].
