"Katherine Esau's (1898-1997) 1953 first edition of Plant
Anatomy became an instant classic and ushered in a new era in
plant anatomy. This and the 1965 revision have long been the bible
for many of us." (Taxon, May 2008)

"...modern and easily readable-with excellent illustrations."
(Journal of the Botanical Research Institute of Texas,
June/July 2007)

"Like its predecessors, 'Esau's Plant Anatomy' will serve as an
important reference for students and botanists who need basic
information on this subject. Summing up: Essential."
(CHOICE, March 2007)

"...will probably become the standard in the field...a breadth
of pictorial documentation often not achievable by a single
author...a sound contribution to the plant anatomy reference and
instructional textbooks available today." (The Quarterly Review
of Biology, March 2007)

"...There are few more iconic texts in botany than Esau's Plant
Anatomy... this 3rd edition is a very worthy
successor to previous editions..." (Annals of Botany, June
2007)

"...provides an easily accessible and excellent source of basic
information on plant anatomy which is nowadays more important than
ever." (J. Phytopathology, 155, 574-576, 2007)
