'… one of the best-written, general accounts of plant biology that I know … if you are looking for a book to stress the significance of modern plant science/fascination of botany on young minds (or even not-so-young ones), look no further than the 2nd edition of John King's Reaching for the Sun!' Annals of Botany, ... one of the best-written, general accounts of plant biology that I know... King is a great teacher. In fact, he is more than that; he is a great story-teller. And this is nowhere better demonstrated than in his explanation of how water can rise to the top of very tall trees, a description that is built up seemingly effortlessly, and that along the way integrates strands of biophysics, biochemistry, physiology and anatomy, all of which are beautifully woven together to produce a complete and satisfying whole. So, if you are looking for a book to stress the significance of modern plant science/fascination of botany on young minds (or even no-so-young ones), look no further than the 2nd edition of John King's Reaching for the Sun! Nigel Chaffey, Annals of Botany|9780521736688|, '… highly recommended for any citizen looking for a straightforward and thorough overview of plants and their lives.' Plant Science Bulletin, "Reachin for the Sun is a very entertaining read for a basic overview of plant physiology. Casual readers interested in an overview of how plants function in the environment will find it easy to understand and quite informative." Thomas Silva, Quarterly Review of Biology, '… I enjoyed the book. It was interesting and presented many examples of plant species and environments from around the world.' The Forestry Chronicle, "Overall, I enjoyed the book. It was interesting and presented many examples of plant species and environments from around the world." Kathryn L. Buchanan for The Forestry Chronicle, "Overall, this text is highly accessible and comprehensible for nonspecialists, yet still an engaging read for specialists with a good knowledge of the plant life cycle and plant physiology. This text is highly recommended for any citizen looking for a straightforward and thorough overview of plants and their lives. It is an excellent resource for a non-majors course or course on plant biology for non-plant science majors." Beronda L. Montgomery, Michigan State University for Plant Science Bulletin

Synopsis
From their ability to use energy from sunlight to make their own food, to combating attacks from diseases and predators, plants have evolved an amazing range of life-sustaining strategies. Written with the non-specialist in mind, John King's lively natural history explains how plants function, from how they gain energy and nutrition to how they grow, develop and ultimately die. New to this edition is a section devoted to plants and the environment, exploring how problems created by human activities, such as global warming, pollution of land, water and air, and increasing ocean acidity, are impacting on the lives of plants. King's narrative provides a simple, highly readable introduction, with boxes in each chapter offering additional or more advanced material for readers seeking more detail. He concludes that despite the challenges posed by growing environmental perils, plants will continue to dominate our planet., Written with the non-specialist in mind, this book provides a lively introduction to how plants function. Topics include energy, nutrition, growth, development and, new to this edition, the interaction of plants with their environment, particularly exploring the impact of problems created by human activities such as pollution and global warming.
