    About this audiobook

    Award-winning journalist for the New York Times Magazine, Michael Pollan, author of The Botany of Desire: A Plant's Eye View of the World, takes a fresh perspective on the co-evolution of people and plants. Was the development of agriculture a human triumph or might it have been the great domestication of the human by the grasses?
