Pressestimmen

“The book helpfully begins with a summary of the usage of taxonomic names and abbreviations. Further, appropriate photographs and pertinent information are presented in boxes, which breaks up the text and makes for easy reading. … This book can be used as a textbook for students or by researchers in the field of plant sciences.” (The Journal of the Torrey Botanical Society, Vol. 145 (03), July, 2018)“Plants on Plants – The Biology of Vascular Epiphytes is a great book. It’s informative, well written and clearly a labour of love from one of the true enthusiasts amongst the diehard modern-day band of epiphytologists. It’s refreshing to see so much passion for one’s subject. Lovely stuff!” (Nigel Chaffey, Annals of Botany Blog, aobblog.com, 2017)
