From the earliest green shoots to dense tropical forests, discover how plants spread across the world to build our environment. Plants first emerged on a very different looking Earth 500 million years ago. As land masses moved, plants were brought together in fierce competition with one another or separated to continue their lives in very different conditions. On this evolutionary journey, they developed ingenious strategies to disperse and extend their range, and increase their diversity. Plants have populated almost every part of Earth's land surface - from tropical zones to cracks in city sidewalks - and have fundamentally shaped Earth's natural regions. Mapping the changing conditions and continents of the ancient world and the biomes of the modern one, Atlas of Botany explores how plants have overcome the challenges of survival, and how they have interacted with pollinators and people along the way. Blending science, geography, and history, Atlas of Botany uses fascinating maps and stunning botanical illustrations interwoven with sumptuous photography to tell the story of how plants evolved and survived - and continue to thrive.
