Excerpt from The Chemistry of Plant LifeSecond, the purpose Of the writer will not have been fully accomplished unless the book shall serve also as a stimulus to further study in a fascinating field. Even the most casual perusal of many Of its chapters cannot fail to make clear how incomplete is our present knowledge of the chemical changes by which the plant cell performs many of the processes which result in the pro duction of so many substances which are vital to the comfort and pleasure Of human life. Studies of the chemistry of animal life have resulted in many discoveries of utmost importance to human life and health. It requires no great stretch Of the imagination to conceive that similar studies Of plant life might result in similar or even greater benefit to human life, or society, since it is upon the results of plant growth that we are dependent for most of our food, clothing, and fuel, as well as for many of the luxuries Of life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
