The Botany of Desire

PBS is airing a documentary based on this book soon.

‘Botany of Desire’ comes to television | Ever Green

(the link has a preview video)

It's a great book and deserves its own thread imho.

Anyone read it?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
