From the reviews: "This remarkable book is the first of two volumes that represent the fruit over 40 years work by Fritz Schweingruber on the stem anatomy of dicotyledonous herbs, shrubs and trees. ... In summary, the Atlas of Stem Anatomy in Herbs, Shrubs and Trees is an important new contribution to our knowledge of stem anatomy, and particularly to our knowledge of the occurrence of secondary growth in so-called herbaceous plants." (Bruce Kirchoff, Plant Science Bulletin, Vol. 57 (3), Fall, 2011) "This is a stunning book, laden with top-quality colour photographs of both whole plants and photomicrographs. ... a reference book and source of inspiration it should be on the shelf of any plant science institution's library." (Barry Meatyard, The Biologist, Vol. 59 (1), March, 2012)
