Designs for Living

Synopsis: Using simple demonstrations and time-lapse photography explains the principles underlying the structures of seedlings, shoots, herbaceous plants, trees and leaves. Using the microscope, examines how these properties are achieved using just six basic types of structural cell. Considers how these structural principles are deployed in water and desert plants to cope with their very different environments.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
