具體描述
We live in a world of seeds. From our morning coffee to the cotton in our clothes, seeds support diets, economies, lifestyles, and civilizations. In The Triumph of Seeds, award-winning conservation biologist Thor Hanson builds on his own triumph in Feathers—itself a masterwork of natural and cultural history—to explore seeds as both a natural phenomenon and a human one.
Spanning locations ranging from the Raccoon Lodge—Hanson’s backyard writing hideout-cum-laboratory—to the coffee plantations of the Amazon, from our flower patches and backyard gardens to the spice routes of Kerala, The Triumph of the Seeds is a book of knowledge, adventure, and wonder by an enchanting writer who embodies both the charm of stories told by the fireside at an old country store and the hard-won expertise of a professor of field biology. A worthy heir to the grand tradition of Aldo Leopold and Bernd Heinrich, this book is essential reading for anyone who loves to see a plant grow.

評分我看过最美的爱情故事，是《当我们谈论爱情时我们在谈论什么》（1980/Raymond Carver）。 硬要说出原因，大抵是：平庸又普通（mediocre）,单调又琐碎（monotony）,悲哀又无奈（sorrow），然后，有点天真（naive）,有点愚昧（ignorant）...... 但这恰恰是我最喜欢的地方，因为很...
