Summary: "Botany: The Science of Plant Life" by Norman Taylor is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book aims to provide a general understanding of plant life, emphasizing its importance to human civilization while avoiding overly technical language. It covers various aspects of botany, including plant behavior, reproduction, and their relationships to humans and the environment.

He also sets the stage for a detailed exploration of what constitutes a plant, summarizing key characteristics and distinctions between flowering plants and other forms of plant life that do not produce flowers.
