The author illustrates the connections between geology, chemistry, and biology over the ages, and provides a fascinating analysis of the climatic changes and geographic transformations that have shaped the evolution of plant life on earth. One compelling idea presented examines the impact of continental drift on the distribution of plant species, as well as the influence of "drifting islands" on the formation of new plant species. Other topics include the effects of climate change on the progression of life cycles in plants, and the influence of human activities and the environment on plant adaptation and evolution.
