by Jonathan Silvertown (Author)
The story of seeds, in a nutshell, is a tale of evolution. This book presents the oft-ignored seed with the natural history it deserves, one nearly as varied and surprising as the earth's flora itself. It delves into the science of seeds: How and why do some lie dormant for years on end? How did seeds evolve?
