04.23: Thor Hanson
2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. In The Triumph of Seeds (Basic), Thor Hanson, author of Feathers, takes us on a fascinating scientific adventure through the wild and beautiful world of seeds. A worthy heir to the grand tradition of Aldo Leopold, Hanson's new book is an informative, humane, hilarious, and even moving look into the extraordinary importance and history of seeds. This event is sponsored by Edible Portland.
