This book is about the ecology, evolution, and history of seeds. Every ordinary looking seed is actually an extremely elegant gene capsule. Humans created heavily guarded seed banks to preserve seed genes. Contemporary and modern stock exchanges unexpectedly originated in coffeehouses. The White House once even received ricin-laced letters in which seeds were used as a lethal weapon. What characteristics did seeds have which allowed them to influence and change the course of human civilization? This book will reveal the answers to these questions.
Thor Hanson, a famous American biologist, is the author of this book. He is not only a wildlife conservationist, but also a brilliant popular science writer. With great tenacity he has traveled across the globe, ventured deep into tropical rainforests, and followed the magical stories of seeds on this planet. His first work, The Impenetrable Forest, won The 2008 USA Book News Award . Another book of his, Feathers: The Evolution of a Natural Miracle, won the John Burroughs Award , representing the highest level of writing in the field of natural history in the US.
