"Whoever reads this book will learn a great deal." Daphne Osborne, Oxford Research Unit "The chapters of this book are written by excellent researchers and cannot be faulted. This is the type of volume that can inspire a new avenue of thought in research, and I thoroughly recommend it to research botanists as well as undergraduate students considering postgraduates studies". David Tabah, Biologist, 53(1), Feb 2006 "This book is an excellent and comprehensive review and summarises all recent information about plant diversity and evolution at the various levels of the biological hierarchy. Its contents are well arranged and easy to read and understand. The book will be of benefit to advanced students and postgraduates as well as to scientists and practical plant biologists engaged in plant biodiversity, evolution, genetics, plant sciences and agriculture." A Lebeda, Plant Protection Science, September 2005 "The authors give an animated overview of the latest developments in the study of plant evolution and I think that both beginning botanists and more professional readers will find useful new information in this book." Barbara Gravendeel, Blumea, 50(1), 2005
