Abstract
Too often the spoken word is lost. It was in response to many written requests by listeners to a series of broadcasts on simple biology in which Prof. Mackinnon took part that this entrancing book came to be written. As she explains in her modest preface, the author leans more to things zoological than botanical, and it is only when animals and plants become interdependent on one another that plant biology is introduced hence the title.
