This recently released, gorgeously illustrated volume presents the evolutionary history, anatomy, and life cycles of bryophytes; the taxonomic family that includes mosses, liverworts, and hornworts.
Written by Joanna Wilbraham, Principal Curator at the Natural History Museum in London, the guide offers a rare combination of scientific authority, accessibility, and visual beauty. Mosses, liverworts, and hornworts are each profiled in depth, with maps and fact boxes, and hundreds of color photographs that emphasize their global diversity.
The book also includes a glossary, phylogenetic trees, and notes on conservation that underscore the importance of these underappreciated life forms, essential and beautiful in their quiet way.
