From the reviews: "The main thesis of this book is that plants monitor and integrate many abiotic and biotic parameters in their environment. ... The scientific references cited are up-to-date. ... The authors attempt to use an integrative approach to synthesizing the literature to demonstrate the dynamic nature of plants. With its diverse topics, this book would provide a valuable overview in advanced graduate classes in plant biology. Summing Up: Recommended. Academic collections, upper-division undergraduate through researchers/faculty." (J. Z. Kiss, Choice, Vol. 47 (4), December, 2009)
