Our fourth edition of Plants in Our World: Economic Botany is very different from earlier versions, reflecting the dramatic changes in many aspects of our lives. Most visibly, this edition has color throughout because the Internet and mobile devices have led to the expectation of vivid images. Many of the new photos reflect another decade of our own research and travel and those of our generous friends and colleagues. Long tables of production figures and ornamental plant species have been eliminated from the text because such data are continually updated and almost instanly available online.
