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.
Michael Pollan (born February 6, 1955) is an American author, journalist, activist, and professor of journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
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,姍姍而談(有些地方不免囉嗦)。在後院種大麻那一段笑死瞭。

一 我超爱麦当劳的薯条:晶莹剔透,散发着迷人的香味,往嘴里轻轻一嚼……人生于是完满了。这就是柏拉图式的薯条啊,完美的艺术品! 怀着爱屋及乌的心情,我把目光转向了美国的爱达荷州,这里盛产马铃薯,每年向麦当劳提供成千上万吨优质的伯班克马铃薯(Burbank Potato)。由...

評分书是很有意思,但是翻译得太可怕了,编辑也不把把关。 如第一部分关于苹果的,苹果可以做成酒,……黄油!!你见过苹果作的黄油吗??肯定是 BUTTER, 这里是果酱。烂糊糊的都可以叫做BUTTER。就算编辑不懂英文,这种毛病还是看得出的吧。 另外很多句子看得出王毅很努力了,也想...
評分Michael Pollan写的文章我一向喜欢,每次他在ny times上的文章都让人读得口齿余香。现在他的书很流行,简直就是人手一本。这本就是同事借给我的。整本书一共四个部分,围绕着四种植物,讲述他们的历史,以及怎样通过人类实现自己(植物的)基因遍布全球的。可能写得比较早期吧...
