If you think botany is boring, perhaps you just haven't read the new volume of the universal encyclopedia "I Know the World." On the pages of this book you will become acquainted with the main groups of not only plants, but also bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, and you will read not only about the structure and reproduction, but also about the extraordinary adaptations of plants, their evolution, about friendship and enmity in the plant world. The encyclopedia will also serve as an excellent addition to the textbook and will help schoolchildren in preparing for exams, writing essays and reports.
