Review of The Botany of Desire
I first heard of this book from a friend who recommended it. It was described to me as an interesting book about flowers and plants. I can barely keep a potted plant alive, so this wasn’t a book that went to the top of my must read list. Then I read the book The Omnivore’s Dilema also by Michael Polan. That book is about the industrilization of food. I found that book so informative and well written that I decided to give his earlier book a try. I’m glad I did.
