This book is part of Prospero's 31st birthday offer. If you order a book (marked with the balloon logo) from the birthday list online (in the online shop, by adding it to your shopping cart and placing the order) on 6 October 2025, we will give you a 20% discount on all these books on that day only.
Moreover, if you order at least three of these books (preferably in a single order), we will apply a 30% discount to the lowest-priced book after the order has been received.
If the total value of your order(s) of at least three birthday books reaches 100,000 HUF excluding VAT, we will apply the special 30% discount to the highest-priced book instead of the lowest one — but still only to a single book.
(You will not see the special 30% discount in your shopping cart, as it will be applied manually by our staff after your order has been received. It is important that your order is placed on 6 October; we will not be able to apply the discount before or after this date. The discount is available only for recipients of our ‘Favourite Topics Notification’ newsletter.)

Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Coupled with biomechanical data, organic geochemistry and cladistic analyses utilizing abundant genetic data, scientific studies are revealing new facets of how plants have evolved over time. This collection of papers examines these early stages of plant physiology evolution by describing the initial physiological adaptations necessary for survival as upright structures in a dry, terrestrial environment. The Evolution of Plant Physiology also encompasses physiology in its broadest sense to include biochemistry, histology, mechanics, development, growth, reproduction and with an emphasis on the interplay between physiology, development and plant evolution.
