how we domesticate plants and how plants evolve with human desire.五種植物:蘋果,鬱金香,大麻,土豆。不知道為何作者選擇這五種?很佩服作者可以從一樣東西尋根究底,姗姗而谈(有些地方不免囉嗦)。在後院種大麻那一段笑死了。
评分很有意思的视角,人类看待植物作为我们的食物和资源.其实苹果自有方法让人类对它的甜味上瘾,为它劳作,为它砍掉森林,传播到全世界.

Michael Pollan (born February 6, 1955) is an American author, journalist, activist, and professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
In The Botany of Desire, Pollan explores the concept of co-evolution, specifically of humankind's evolutionary relationship with four plants — apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes — from the dual perspectives of humans and the plants. He uses case examples that fit the archetype of four basic human desires, demonstrating how each of these botanical species are selectively grown, bred, and genetically engineered. The apple reflects the desire for sweetness, the tulip beauty, marijuana intoxication, and the potato control. Pollan then unravels the narrative of his own experience with each of the plants, which he then intertwines with a well-researched exploration into their social history. Each section presents a unique element of human domestication, or the "human bumblebee" as Pollan calls it. These range from the true story of Johnny Appleseed to Pollan's first-hand research with sophisticated marijuana hybrids in Amsterdam, to the alarming and paradigm-shifting possibilities of genetically engineered potatoes.

评分这本书,可怎么说呢?好象既不是科普文字,也不是学术论文,也不是时评政论,只可以勉强归纳为“杂文”。因为它实在涉猎太宽,天马行空的,什么都说到一点点。没有一定的学问功底和生活阅历,还真写不出这么“杂”的味道来。作者是纽约时报杂志的撰稿人,也是哈波杂志的特...
评分《植物的欲望》这本书的副标题是植物眼中的世界,我还是愿意把这本书理解为关于四种植物的文化简史,只是,我这样的命名会对该书的销售造成毁灭性的影响。因为它不是像封面所暗示的那样一本枯燥读物,而是读来趣味盎然的书。 我最爱讲述苹果的这一章节,讲的是十九世纪初叶,...
评分在这个基因游走的世界 ——《植物的欲望》 于是 很多人和我一样五谷不分。没法分。从小就在餐厅和菜场的背景中完成吃的工作,城市里的土壤、土壤里的植物越来越少。有一天我甚至听一个诗人在抱怨,他送给女儿一掊种子,却满大街找不到泥土。而在花店里,我们出钱购买包裹在塑...
