The Botany of Desire: A Plants-Eye View of the World (Thorndike Press Large Print Nonfiction Series)

Summary: Coevolution with Plants
Review: This book was thought provoking as it encourages you to reevaluate man's place in nature, from one of dominance to a picture of coevolution despite our insistence that we have "domesticated" plants for our uses. This is a great companion piece to Guns, Germs, and Steel.

Summary: The secret conspiracies of plants
Review: You don't have to be a biologist or a gardener to find this an entertaining and fascinating read. It's one of my book club's all-time favorites. It's world history told from the perspective of five plants that changed the world. If you don't know what kind of flower was once worth more than a mansion, or what Johnny Appleseed was really up to (hint: think hard cider), run out and get this book.
