From the reviews: "All flesh is grass is a fascinating tome, and should appeal to anyone who has an interest in the broader aspects of botany, particularly the interconnections between plants ... and other biota. It is abundantly illustrated throughout, with many colour images. ... could be enjoyed by readers at all levels from first undergraduate. ... more direct appeal to the teachers of those (under)graduates ... . co-operative plant-animal associations tackled in this book provides the book's real take-home message: species that work together, last longer." (Nigel Chaffey, Annals of Botany, Vol. 108 (3), September, 2011)
