Why read it?

While you will learn much about the nature and management of weeds from this book, you will also find yourself painlessly learning the basics of botany-- the parts of plants, how they live, how seeds evolved, how ecosystems evolve.

It is a gardening philosophy that is current and can produce lovely, serendipitous gardens.
From Pam's list on The best books for gaining garden know-how.
