"Here's the physical world of plants in all its splendor - and multidimensionality - brought to bear on the rich diversity of both extant and extinct forms. Karl J. Niklas and Hanns-Christof Spatz's theme, which deserves attention, is that since plants (and animals, of course) cannot change physics, physical laws and processes must bear strongly on the course of their evolution." (Steven Vogel, Duke University)"
