Guest guest Posted February 20, 2004 Report Share Posted February 20, 2004 This sounds like an amazing book. I will get it from the library.Thanks for mentioning it. By the way I just read The Botany of Desire. I think you will enjoy it. There are four chapters, each devoted to a human desire which has helped spread a certain plant. Fascianting read and some times very funny. Pollan is a avid gardener, but I wonder if he is a scientist. Perhaps you will enlighten us all with your opinion of his thoughts after you read it.
