Cross-Pollinations is a book about dissolving boundaries and
blending disciplines to reveal a world rich in possibility, one
where unthinkable solutions emerge. Gary Paul Nabhan, an
accomplished biologist and writer—and “a voice that speaks to
the laity in clear and coherent sentences” (New York
Times)—believes that the free movement between science and
literature, between cultivated and wild habitats, and between
culture and language engenders the kind of unlikely and seemingly
incompatible perceptions that are essential to discovery of any
kind. In Cross-Pollinations, he illustrates the successful
marriage of science and poetry with true stories about color-blind
scientists, the knowledge stored in ancient Native American songs,
the link between an Amy Clampitt poem and diabetes research, and a
unique collaboration in support of the Ironwood Forest National
Monument.
