This text provides a comprhensive synthesis of modern evolutionary biology as it relates to plants. It recounts the saga of plant life from its origins to the radiation of the flowering plants. Through computer-generated "walks" the book arrives at plant forms strikingly similar to actual living plants and those of the distant past, showing how living plants might have evolved. It concludes with an extended consideration of molecular biology and paleontology.

Karl J. Niklas is the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Plant Biology and a Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow in the Plant Biology Section of the School of Integrative Plant Science at Cornell University.
