Originally published in 1993‎,‎ this second edition of a successful textbook describes and explains in a refreshingly clear way the origin and evolution of plants as revealed by the fossil record and summarizes paleo botanical information relevant to our understanding of the relationships between the major plant groups‎,‎ extant and extinct‎.‎ As in the first edition‎,‎ the text is profusely illustrated with line illustrations and halftones‎.‎ For those students with little knowledge of plant structure and morphology there is a brief resume of those features of extant plants that will be needed to gain a better understanding of the fossil record‎.‎ Summarizing charts are also used to help students visualize the interpretative material‎.‎
