In blending history, memoir and superb science writing, Michael Pollan tells the story of four domesticated species - the apple, the tulip, marijuana and the potato. All four plants are integral to our everyday lives and Pollan demonstrates how each has thrived by satisfying one of humankind's most basic desires: sweetness, beauty, intoxication and control. It is a journey that will change the way we think about our place in nature.
