In Anatomy of a Rose, Sharman Apt Russell eloquently unveils the
"inner life" of flowers, showing them to be more individual, more
enterprising, and more responsive than we ever imagined. From their
diverse fragrances to their nasty deceptions, Russell proves that,
where nature is concerned, "wonder is not only our starting point;
it can also be our destination." Throughout this botanical journey,
she reveals that the science behind these intelligent plants--how
they evolved, how they survive, how they heal--is even more
awe-inspiring than their fleeting beauty. Russell helps us imagine
what a field of snapdragons looks like to a honeybee; she
introduces us to flowers that regulate their own temperature,
attract pollinating bats, even smell like a rotting corpse.In this
poetic rumination, which combines graceful writing with a
scientist's clarity, Russell brings together the work of botanists
around the globe, and illuminates a world at once familiar and
exotic.
