The Botany of Desire

Pollan's perspective that plants might have their own desires is intriguing. I wonder what led him to frame it this way and how it influences our understanding of nature.

The examples of fruit and flower domestication made me think about how much of our history is intertwined with plant selection. Are there other stories like this that stand out?

I'm curious about Pollan's process—did he focus more on academic sources or craft a narrative that makes science accessible and engaging for general readers?
