Over 9,700 color photos illustrat-ing the diagnostic characters of (and variability within) the vascular plant families covered in the text, including many images showing floral and fruit dissections, are now included in the site. The Photo Gallery also includes an illustrated glossary of plant terminology. Each new text-book includes an access code for the site, and access may also be purchased separately.

For the Instructor (available to qualified adopters)

Instructor’s Resource LibraryThe Plant Systematics Instructor’s Resource Library includes a collection of visual resources from the textbook for use in preparing lectures and other course materials. The textbook figures have all been sized and formatted for optimal legibility when projected. The IRL includes all textbook figures, tables, and floral formulas in JPEG (both high- and low-resolution) and PowerPoint formats.

Plant Systematics, FOuRTh EDITIONWalter S. Judd, Christopher S. Campbell, Elizabeth A. Kellogg, Peter F. Stevens, and Michael J. Donoghue

• Chapter 2, Methods and Principles of Biological Systematics, has been com-pletely rewritten with informa-tion on molecular (DNA-based) systematics now fully integrat-ed—a change required by the in-creasing importance of molecu-lar methods in the construction of phylogenetic hypotheses. The chapter includes updated and expanded coverage of maximum likelihood and Bayesian meth-ods, algorithmic approaches to tree construction, along with parsimony methods, and new sections on mapping characters on trees and dating phylogenies.

• Sections on speciation and species concepts have been rewritten to incorporate exten-sive recent research on these topics.

• Extensive revisions to 13 fami-lies that have undergone signifi-cant changes in circumscription have been implemented. Revi-sions include the breakup of the non-monophyletic “Wood-siaceae,” “Portulacaceae,” and “Clusiaceae,” the segregation of Cleomaceae and Capparaceae from Brassicaceae s.l, Cabomba-ceae from Nymphaeaceae, Nys-saceae from Cornaceae, and Vis-caceae from Santalaceae s.l. In addition, Illiciaceae are included in Schisandraceae, hydnoraceae and Lactoridaceae in Aristolo-chiaceae, Centrolepidaceae and Anarthriaceae in Restionaceae, Turneraceae in Passifloraceae, Zannichelliaceae in Potamoge-tonaceae, and Memecylaceae in Melastomataceae. Several familial clades are for the first time included in the book: Balsamina-ceae, Chrysobalanaceae, Fouqui-eriaceae, Garryaceae, Goodenia-ceae, hypoxidaceae, Musaceae, Phrymaceae, Pittosporaceae, and Thymelaeaceae.

ABOUT THE BOOKA comprehensive introduction to vascular plant phylogeny, the Fourth Edition of Plant Systematics reflects changes in the circumscription of several families in order to represent monophyletic groups, following the classification of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group (and recent phyloge-netic analyses). Appendices cover botanical nomenclature as well as field and herbarium methodology. The text is copiously illustrated, using in large part the informative analytical drawings developed as part of the Generic Flora of the Southeastern united States project.

Plant Systematics: A Phylogenetic Approach, Fourth Edition is ap-propriate for any course devoted to the systematics of angiosperms or vascular plants and, secondarily, for local flora courses. The text assumes no prerequisites other than introductory botany or biology.

• Higher-level phylogenetic rela-tionships have been updated on the basis of recently published analyses, and these relationships are reflected in the authors’ use of names; e.g., within the flowering plants we now recognize Mesangiospermae, Pen-tapetalae, and the Superrosid and Superasterid clades.

• Updates to all chapters and to nearly all cladograms take into account recent taxonomic meth-ods and hypotheses. In addition, several new cladograms and figures have been added. Since most families have received new phylo-genetic study since the previous edition, the summaries of phyloge-netic patterns within each of these familial clades and their putative synapomorphies have been up-dated, including many changes in generic circumscription.

• A greatly expanded online Photo Gallery of Vascular Plants in-cludes over 9,700 photographs illustrating the diagnostic characters and morphological diversity of each of the familial clades covered in the textbook. The photos also include taxa of both temperate and tropical distribution, economically impor-tant species, and examples of impor-tant anatomical characteristics.

Plant Physiology and Development, SIxTH EDITIONLincoln Taiz, Eduardo Zeiger, Ian M. Møller, and Angus Murphy, with contributors

Plant Physiology and Development, Sixth Edition has undergone an excit-ing revision reflecting the latest devel-opments in plant molecular genetics. The Growth and Development section (unit III) has been reorganized along developmental lines, based on the

complete life cycle of seed plants from germination to senescence, and features two new chapters, Biotic Interactions and Abiotic Stress. units I and II have also been updated, with a new chapter on Stomatal Biology and new treatment of nitrogen metabolism in the chapters on Mineral Nutrition and Assimilation of Mineral Nutrients. The goal, as always, is to provide the best possible edu-cational foundation for the next generation of plant biologists.

The Readable Darwin: The Origin of Species as Edited for Modern ReadersJan A. Pechenik

The Origin of Species is one of the most influential books ever written, laying a foundation for all modern arguments about organismal diversity. unfortu-nately, Darwin’s writing style is difficult for modern readers to follow. This new book is the product of careful editing

of Darwin’s sixth and final (1872) edition into more readable prose, with helpful drawings and photographs added. The goal is to enable more people to read, understand, and enjoy this fasci-nating and important book. This volume covers the first eight of The Origin’s fifteen chapters, focusing on variation, the inheri-tance of variation, and the action of selection in bringing about major changes in the way that organisms look and behave.
