Botany of Desire, the (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780375760396) Pollan, Michael Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Random House USA Inc, United States, 2002. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 203 x 135 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Every schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers: The bee collects nectar and pollen to make honey and, in the process, spreads the flowers#8217; genes far and wide. In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan ingeniously demonstrates how people and domesticated plants have formed a similarly reciprocal relationship. He masterfully links four fundamental human desires#8212;sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control#8212;with the plants that satisfy them: the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. In telling the stories of four familiar species, Pollan illustrates how the plants have evolved to satisfy humankind#8217;s most basic yearnings. And just as we#8217;ve benefited from these plants, we have also done well by them. So who is really domesticating whom?.
