Farebná publikácia vám predstaví svet zelene okolo nás v úplne novom svetle. Viete, ako veľmi ovplyvnili našu históriu rastliny – napríklad ryža, pšenica, kávovník, cibuľa, konope či agáve? Začítajte sa do pútavých príbehov jednotlivých druhov a budete prekvapení, akú nezastupiteľnú rolu zohrali rastliny v našich dejinách!

Fifty Plants that Changed the Course of History… por Bill Laws

A wonderful view, peppered with illustrations and sidebarred factoids, into a selected set of important plants in human history. The ordering is alphabetical by genus, so it starts off with the tequila-producing agave plant (which I was surprised to read in a side note that it is similar but "unrelated" (???) to aloe vera), and goes on to the (only 5,000 years old!!?) onion (Allium cepa).

An excellent book to have lying around the house.

Zwiebel, Safran, Fingerhut : 50 Pflanzen, die unsere… por Bill Laws

Randomly chosen plants. Random facts about each. Not very interesting. I read the German translation.
