Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-10 00:00:00 Brandon Hubley Yugoslavia, 2018! This could be the alternative title of a very expensive textbook published in 2018. This book is supposedly updated with the most important scientific discoveries and world events affecting the contents, e.g. the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992, 28 years ago. Luckily someone had heard about the dissolution of the Soviet Union, placing the word 'former' in front of it thus avoiding another humiliating mistake. Overall, this is a great book, talks about everything that someone studying botany should know, including fungi, bacteria and viruses. It has chapters about ecology, a detailed chapter about the way plants shaped human civilizations, separate detailed chapters about the major kingdoms of organisms, talks about genetics, evolution and has long additional reading lists as well. I still can't give it five stars because it is impossible for me to understand why a botany textbook would not use binomial names. The common names thrive in the book which, in most cases, don't ring a bell for me. It misses the most important feature of binomial names, namely that they are unique and so it is understood by anyone anywhere in the world. Stern's book gravitates mostly around US flora and if you don't like and don't know common names, you can turn to the appendices (the book has 6 of them) at the end of the book every time you encounter another common name and try to find the plants' binomial names in a very long and exhausting list of common names. Regretfully this is completely unprofessional and makes it an utterly frustrating read.
