Sharyl reviewed Around the World in 80 Plants by Jonathan Drori
Review of 'Around the World in 80 Plants' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
Jonathan Drori's Around the World in 80 Plants is an engagingly written, beautifully illustrated botanical collection of wonders. In these pages, Drori has showcased eighty different plants from different parts of our shared planet. Eighty different (brief!) histories, along with plenty of interesting facts and antidotes make this botanical book not your garden variety reference book.
That planet earth has so many remarkable, adaptive plant species does lend some hope and inspiration for working for more sustainability in the way we humans use the resources around us.
Reading this was not my idea, but I am grateful for the experience. Go ahead, dip into the secret lives of plants...
