Inanimate Life (Briggs)
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
This book is a 'botany book' and the book is used in a course that is generally considered a 'botany' course. Most people associate 'botany' with plants but this is a book studies a number of things that are not considered plants, why include them? The reason has to do with history and with classification.
