In this entertaining young readers edition of the environmental
studies classic, Michael Pollan demonstrates how people and
domesticated plants have formed a reciprocal relationship. He links
four fundamental human desires—sweetness, beauty, energy, and
control—with the plants that satisfy them: the apple, the tulip,
coffee, and the potato. In telling the stories of four familiar
species, Pollan illustrates how the plants have evolved to satisfy
humankind’s most basic yearnings. And just as we’ve benefited
from these plants, we have also helped them to thrive.
