We live on a floral planet, yet flowers don’t get the credit they deserve. We admire them for their aesthetics, not their power. In this exquisite exploration of the role flowers played in creating the world we know today, biologist and two-time Pulitzer Prize-nominated nature writer David George Haskell combines lyrical writing, sensual exploration, and the latest in scientific research. Looking to the future, flowers offer us lessons on resilience and creativity in the face of rapid environmental change. We need floral creativity, beauty, and joy more than ever.
