Listening to some of the basics of botany again, I was still thrilled. It's like reading/listening to a favorite set of myths being treated by different writers. But unlike just reworking an old story, a science writer always has the latest discoveries and nuances to bring to the reader. In this book, Heugel has especially interesting chapters on the latest understanding of plant hormones and plant communications. Highly recommended.
[Audiobook note: Reader Tom Parks doesn't miss a beat on any of the scientific language. He brings a pacing and an enthusiasm to the performance that is first rate.] ( )

I have learned almost nothing about plants. This is basic to the point of uselessness. ( )
