Many of the most remarkable features of plants cannot be seen by the human eye. The amazing geometric structures of pollen grains, or the dust-like seeds of orchids, to the layered innards of a fruit ripe for pollination. Evolutionary adaptations over thousands of years have resulted in forms of exceptional function and beauty, which alight in the pages of this work. A wonderful marriage of art and science, the pages of this book dissect and reveal the stunning structures and forms of plants, taking readers on a journey through the unseen world of the plant kingdom. The unusual and extraordinary images, taken by scanning electron microscope, are accompanied by a text that illuminates for a wide readership the structure and form of pollen, seeds and fruit, their role in preserving the biodiversity of our planet, and the means, often devious, by which they ensure their survival, and ultimately, that of our natural world.
