Discover the fascinating story of plants, one of the most spectacularly diverse groups of organisms on Earth.

It is an accessible introduction to fossil plants and how they can be used to unravel the history of life. Weaving together strands from the past and present, snapshots of ancient and modern environments are illustrated with images of fossils and their 'living relatives'.
