About this listen
In Plant Science: An Introduction to Botany, Dr. Catherine Kleier invites us to open our eyes to the phenomenal world of plant life and to the process she calls “Natura Revelata”, the joy of celebrating and learning from the secrets of nature.
As Dr. Kleier shares her knowledge with contagious excitement for her subject, she emphasizes the middle ground: Instead of focusing on cell microbiology or the study of ecosystems and habitats, she stresses the basic biology, function, and the amazing adaptations of the plants we see all around us. Dr. Kleier proposes and establishes that there is pleasure to be found in being able to identify and understand the workings of that tree outside the window.
With almost 400,000 known species and thousands more identified every year, the variety of plant life is almost overwhelming - from the microscopic to the largest organism on Earth. In this course, you will learn about the fascinating adaptations that have allowed plants to thrive in almost every corner of the world and the unique plants that have evolved as a result.
You’ll learn about the latest discoveries regarding plant communication, the myriad ways they manage and shape their own environments, and why botanists are still debating what it really means to be a unique species.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

focused on botany of usa
the lecturer keeps referring to visual, physical things that she is doing in the lecturer, and there is no accompanying pdf with diagrams which is INFURIATING.

Very informative and enjoyable series of lectures
I find both content and narration to be very enjoyable. The author explains the basic of plant biology with great skills. The occasional humor makes the lectures feel warmer and familiar. Very recommended listen.

Great info excruciating narration
Authors knowledge incredible but the jokes (not) and the combination of accent and execution of narration made plant loving me stop before the end…

Fascinating
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this lecture. Quirky presenter helped explain sometimes tricky subject matter. A lot to take on board so will need a second listen through, learned lots. highly recommend.
