Krátky popis
An inspirational and beautifully illustrated book that tells the
stories of 80 plants from around the globe. In his follow-up to the
bestselling Around the World in 80 Trees, Jonathan Drori takes
another trip across the globe, bringing to life the science of
plants by revealing how their worlds are intricately entwined with
our own history, culture and folklore. From the seemingly familiar
tomato and dandelion to the eerie mandrake and Spanish 'moss' of
Louisiana, each of these stories is full of surprises.Some have a
troubling past, while others have ignited human creativity or
enabled whole civilizations to flourish. With a colourful cast of
characters all brought to life by illustrator Lucille Clerc, this
is a botanical journey of beauty and brilliance. 'A beautiful
celebration of the plants and flowers that surround us and a quiet
call to arms for change' The Herald'This charming and beautifully
illustrated book takes readers on a voyage of discovery, exploring
the many ingenious and surprising uses for plants in modern science
and throughout history' Kew Magazine'With beautiful illustrations
