Features: Bridging the gap from public enlightenment to public understanding through practical science popularization. Countless "whys" answered with "so that's how it is." So That's How It Is—The Enduring Life of Plants is a science popularization book themed around plants. It was co-authored by veteran experts and professors from various fields such as landscape architecture, agriculture, forestry, and plant taxonomy, as well as mid-to-young-aged science workers engaged in production, research, and teaching. The content is guided by scientific theory and grounded in practical experience, presented in an accessible manner to cover all aspects of botany. Their articles have the following characteristics:
First, scientific rigor, which permeates the entire book. It analyzes and explains various phenomena in nature caused by plants using principles from plant physiology, breeding, and cultivation. Second, up-to-date information. For example, The Lion and Tiger in the Tree—Eastern Red Cedar introduces research results currently being promoted and applied. Articles like Plum and Chinese Magnolia and The Autumnal Splendor of Osmanthus highlight China's recent achievements in obtaining international registration rights for new varieties of plum and osmanthus. Third, engaging and lively language, making the content easy to digest. Titles and content are presented in a vivid and approachable style, such as The Plant's Sixth Sense and Where Is the World's Most Beautiful Flower? Fourth, cultural depth, as many articles incorporate small stories and historical anecdotes to enrich the book's cultural background and readability.
We hope this book will benefit young people in expanding their knowledge, assist educators in primary and secondary schools, and help plant enthusiasts. By promoting a deeper understanding of nature, it aims to contribute to harmonious coexistence between humanity and the natural world.
