"Beginners' Botany" by L.H. Bailey is an early 20th-century science book that introduces botany through direct experience and careful watching. Rather than focusing on complicated definitions, the book pushes beginners to learn by looking closely at real plants in the natural environment. It stresses that personal observation is key to understanding how plants are different from one another, grow, and adjust to survive. The guide sets a course for readers to begin to appreciate the importance of understanding living plants as part of an ecosystem.
