Amateur Botanist Book Recs?
Hello!
I am entering my final year of undergrad where I study Human Physiology. Through my biology courses and love of nature, I have found a particular interest in plant biology. I’ve begun to accumulate lab essentials in order to conduct independent research and experiments at home, quickly becoming my most expensive (and fun) hobby…
I am particularly interested in angiosperms (flowering plants), and therefore their relationship and coevolution with pollinators.
I’m looking for a book(s) that can be used as a quick-reference guide while simultaneously having comprehensive physiology, anatomy, pathology, cytology, and bio/phytochemistry. Again, with a particular focus on angiosperms.
If you have recommendations that are more “fun” and less scientific reads, I welcome those too!
I have a strong biology/chemistry/physics background, so I am not opposed to comprehensive textbooks and/or research-heavy books. Many of the book recommendations I’ve found here seem to be out-dated to an extent, so I thought I’d ask. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks.
