The Triumph of Seeds: How Grains, Nuts, Kernels, Pulses, and Pips Conquered the Plant Kingdom and Shaped Human History by Thor Hanson
2.0
I was really excited about this one, thinking it would be more about the history of how seeds spread, the trade in seeds, revolutions in genetic engineering and cultivation, but it was moreso focused on how seeds work. While I took some interesting parts away from this, I found the author digressed a lot into personal accounts that I didn't find super interesting. The narrative didn't really pull me in at all but, seeds are still cool!
