Botany in a Day,
By schmeps (Toronto ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification (Paperback)
This is a great botany starter book. It is much larger than I expected, and offers a superb categorizing system for learning about different plant families.

Wonderful book for intuitive understanding of the subject,
By Mary Engle "botany enthusiast" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification (Paperback)
In the opening chapter, this book presents a wonderful simplified story of the evolution of plants, from a single cell to modern complex flowers. Both children and adults can gain a unique, intuitive understanding of this process from this explanation. My compliments to the author. He describes each plant family with interesting anecdotes and high quality line drawings. It's the first plant book whose lack of photographs didn't matter. Great tips for identifying families and individual plants have helped me enormously. Bravo!

Excellent Resource!,
By T. Ibsen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification (Paperback)
Botany in a Day provides an excellent overview to field botany. By learning plant characteristics by family, the reader can more quickly identify their plant by identifying the patterns each plant family presents. The book provides a page or two (or more!) on dozens of the most common families in the northern half of the US. Each plant family section contains additional information about the plant genera represented in this family. The keys to plant families allow the reader to quickly determine what section to turn to. This book is best coupled with a plant field guide to individual species that is grouped by family. You can use the Botany in a Day information to narrow your selection to the family and the field guide to identify the specific species.I highly recommend this book to both lay and professional people who work with plants. 75 of 80 people found the following review helpful

Teaches the patterns method of plant identification,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification (Paperback)
Any interested in plant identification should consider Botany In A Day: The Patterns Method Of Plant Identification as an important guide. Thomas Elpel (Director of Hollowtop Outdoor Primitive School, Pony, Montana) deftly teaches the patterns method of plant identification, providing a method for learning about groupings of plants based on the idea that related plants have similar patterns for identification, and similar uses. Black and white line drawings accompany descriptions of different plant families and their identification processes.
