We thought you would be interested to know that the classic book "Plant
Structure: Function and Development" by J.A. Romberger, Z. Hejnowicz, and
J.F. Hill, has just been brought back into print.

Originally published in 1993 and long out of print, the book covers the
developmental anatomy of large, complex plants, particularly of perennial
shrubs and trees that grow and survive for decades or even centuries. The
book focuses on the meaning of that anatomy as a determinant of effective
function.

A pervading theme is that the plant structures that have "survived"
evolution within the larger context of geologic and climatic evolution are
well attuned to biochemical and biophysical principles that determine and
define efficient function.

The book is addressed to advanced students, teachers and researchers in the
broad, interrelated fields of botany, forestry, horticulture and agronomy
and to others having professional interests in the culture of woody plants
and the stewardship of ecosystems. It will be of special interest to those
who, by study and research, seek to narrow the wide gap between the cellular
and molecular biology approaches to understanding the format and content of
inherited information, and the actual morphogenesis and integrated
functioning of higher plant organisms.

The book is focused on vegetative growth and development. Limitations of
space precluded a treatment of reproductive development and of morphogenesis
in fruits and seeds. The authors have included a chapter on embryogeny as
the beginning of development of the individual higher plant organism.

"Plant Structure: Function and Development" by J.A. Romberger, Z. Hejnowicz,
and J.F. Hill. ISBN 1-930665-95-4, paperback, 524 pages.
