About “The botany of desire”
This nonfiction book, originally published in 2001, presents case studies mirroring four types of human desire reflected in how people selectively grow, breed, and genetically engineer plants. Each of its four parts covers a different plant and the desire it has historically been cultivated for: the apple for sweetness, the tulip for beauty, cannabis for intoxication, and the potato for control. It is by Michael Pollan. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
