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.
评分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。
