Más información sobre el libro

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew are home to one of the most impressive plant collections in the world, with more than 37,000 different species from every kind of habitat - tropical rainforest, desert, grassland savanna, alpine meadow and coral reef. In this book Heather Angel, a qualified biologist and a leading natural-history photographer, highlights a selection of plants on view at Kew, and examines the way in which they have adapted to cope with the rigours of their natural environment. Many of the plants featured exhibit unusual structures or design.
