Amy Stewart lives in northern California, where she and her husband own an antiquarian bookstore called Eureka Books. She writes books by typing very quickly and loudly on a jet black keyboard that has no letters printed on the keys, proving (to herself, because no one else particularly cares) that she is an excellent touch typist.
When she's not writing books, reading them, or shelving them, she might be painting. You can see examples of her paintings here and here.
You can also find her all over the country speaking to audiences at bookstores, botanical gardens, garden clubs, and college and museum lecture series. To find out if she's coming to your town, visit the Events page of her website.
Four of Amy's books have been New York Times bestsellers, and she has enjoyed contributing to the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Good Morning America, and CBS Sunday Morning.
The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) granted her a Creative Writing Fellowship, and she's the winner of the American Horticultural Society's Book Award.
Award-winning author Amy Stewart takes readers on an around-the-world, behind-the-scenes look at the flower industry and how it has sought--for better or worse--to achieve perfection. She tracks down the hybridizers, geneticists, farmers, and florists working to invent, manufacture, and sell flowers that are bigger, brighter, and sturdier than anything nature can provide. There's a scientist intent on developing the first genetically modified blue rose; an eccentric horitcultural legend who created the most popular lily; a breeder of gerberas of every color imaginable; and an Ecuadorean farmer growing exquisite roses, the floral equivalent of a Tiffany diamond. And, at every turn she discovers the startling intersection of nature and technology, of sentiment and commerce.
当你收到一束花时,可能会有一个下意识的动作:把花束捧到胸前,深深地吸一口气,希望能闻到意料之中的醉人花香。 然而,你很可能会失望:根本没有花香。“花卉产业早已产业化了,主要根据花色、大小,特别是持久性进行选育。这样做有其副作用,其中之一就是使鲜花丧失了原有...
評分先说两点印象很深刻的: 1 我今后绝对不会洗花瓣澡了 2 伟哥溶于水养花,能够让花开的更久 这本书里,其实只揭露了一个事实:那就是,鲜花是商品,再精确一点,是生鲜类商品。鲜切花其实和我吃的绿叶菜来说没什么区别的,一样需要精细打理,远程运输,一样在近百年的工业化大...
評分看书名以为会是一本介绍自然界的花,但是讲的是人类的鲜花贸易。但本来帝国就是一个人类社会才有的啊,所以帝国的书名其实没有错啊。 本书在开头其实是提出了疑问的,花本来是植物的性器,但是在人类赋予了他们不同的含义,甚至违背了他们的天性不再让他们产生花粉,香味,从而...
評分有点意外。鲜花帝国,以为是写充满鲜花的世界,实际是写整个鲜花贸易的全过程的——鲜花贸易构成的全产业链图景,自成帝国。从育种,到种植,最后销售,鲜花如今既然通过买卖来到我们身边,当然也是一种普通的商品。只是因为其对自然的象征意义,或许还因为其不带来任何实际性...
評分还记得生物书上的细胞图么?少了120页,花了4天读完,省了48小时,很是愉悦。这次虽然不及上一本的绿封皮漂亮,知识点也少了很大一部分,但受众和研究课题都变了,自然要接受明显落差。植物学的常识非常多,有些过于浅显和潦草,但语言流畅生活化,忒容易下饭,安静时可以快速...
