The author of several specialised monographs, he is best known for his Botanique: Coursl mentaire d'histoire naturelle (1842), an exhaustive introduction to botany originally intended for use in French schools. This much acclaimed book went through twelve editions between 1842 and 1884, and was translated into many languages. This English translation, completed while he was still an Oxford student by the young British botanist James Hewetson Wilson (1826-50), was first published in 1849. It contains additional descriptions of the different systems and structures that clarify de Jussieu's terminology, as well as an appendix on geology.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/1/10/803/731/1108037313_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "92.00", "online_price" : "92.00", "our_price" : "92.00", "club_price" : "92.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
