The Triumph of Seeds: How Grains, Nuts, Kernels, Pulses, and Pips Conquered the Plant Kingdom and Shaped Human History by Thor Hanson

5.0

I enjoyed this deep dive (although not too scientifically deep, in a good way) into the miraculous methods seeds have developed to survive and reproduce, and how much they impact our everyday lives -- not just as food, but as functional building blocks to industrial systems. I almost knocked a star off for all the Mounds and Almond Joys I craved the entire read, but then ate the hangries away and thought better of it. ;)
