Even a diehard urbanite would likely be seduced by this extraordinary chronicle of the plant kingdom... " --Publishers Weekly ... much more than the fascinating story of plant life... It is also a book about the resilience of life itself, the mystery and power of the unseen energy appearing in the visible world in a marvelous variety of forms." --Audubon Naturalist News Here is Mr. Peattie at his superb best.... [H]e makes the story of botany and its pursuit as fascinating to the reader as it is to him, and the reading of it a delight." --Hartford Times [Peattie] belongs with Gilbert White, Thoreau, John Burroughs, W. H. Hudson, Richard Jeffries, and John Muir." --Mark van Doren First published in 1939, this beautifully imaginative book is about botany much in the same sense that Walden is about a pond. Part natural history, part biography, and part philosophical reflection, Flowering Earth is written in a warm, lyrical style that made poet-scientist Donald Culross Peattie one of America's best-known naturalist writers.

Of course, it should be noted that this was originally published in 1939 and some of the science is dated. But not so much as to interfere with my enjoyment of Peattie's prose. ( )
