Kingdom of Plants
- A Journey through their Evolution accompanies the stunning new Sky series filmed at Kew Gardens. Explore the wonders of the botanical world with this beautifully illustrated hardback book. In the last 500 million years, plants have undertaken an epic journey that has not only spanned the ages but has altered the very make-up of the planet. It was a journey that began in a dark & barren world, & has culminated in a planet that is draped in rich colours, & overflowing with a diversity of mystifying orchids, exploding seed pods & snapping carnivorous plants. But plants are far more than just beautiful & bizarre. Through the chapters of this book we uncover how plants first began to live on l&, how they have become linked with a multitude of animal & fungi partners, & how ultimately they have shaped both landscapes & cultures.
