Wherever there is greenery, photosynthesis is working to make
oxygen, release energy, and create living matter from the raw
material of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Without
photosynthesis, there would be an empty world, an empty sky, and a
sun that does nothing more than warm the rocks and reflect off the
sea.
Eating the Sun is the story of a world in crisis; an
appreciation of the importance of plants; a history of the earth
and the feuds and fantasies of warring scientists; a celebration of
how the smallest things, enzymes and pigments, influence the
largest things, the oceans, the rainforests, and the fossil fuel
economy. Oliver Morton offers a fascinating, lively, profound look
at nature's greatest miracle and sounds a much-needed call to
arms--illuminating a potential crisis of climatic chaos and
explaining how we can change our situation, for better or for
worse.
