I learned a lot about heirloom apples, the tulip craze, the potato famine, and growing marijuana. Eclectic, yes. The author focuses on the history of four different plants and how they have evolved to suit humans' desires for sweetness (apples), beauty (tulips), stability (potatoes), and intoxication (marijuana). It's written from the plants' perspective, as though they evolve certain traits that humans want so that they will be planted more and be sustained as a species. I read this at least five years ago and still remember all this - that should tell you something! I fully plan to re-read it someday.

This was actually a book on cd that Max and I listened to on one of our road trips to see my brother. It was so good and riveting. I have periodically been checking to see if he has written anything else but not yet.
