Humans are entirely dependent on plants: we eat them, build with
them, burn them for power, breathe the air they maintain, cure our
ills with them. Yet, we are destroying this fundamental resource at
a terrifying rate. This extensively revised and updated edition of
Anthony Huxley's magnificent global overview of our plant kingdom
portrays the beauty, diversity, and history of wild and cultivated
plants, highlighting their profound importance in our lives. With
its beautiful color photographs, drawings, charts, diagrams, and
superb text, "Green Inheritance" describes the role of plants in
the global environment and across cultures; shows how plants are
used for food, fuel, and medicine; considers their role for us as
objects of beauty in gardens; and much more. Encyclopedic in scope
and full of intriguing stories about many individual plants, this
remarkable book emphasizes just how essential our green inheritance
is to the future of humanity.
