The most important plants on earth are also the easiest to overlook. Harry Marshall Ward makes the case for grasses, explaining their vegetative organs, anatomy, and the ways botanists classify them. A rigorous yet readable study of the family that feeds the world, from meadow to cornfield. For the botanist and gardener ready to take a closer look at the green underfoot.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
