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. Just as the search for nutmeg and pepper drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed spark the Industrial Revolution. Seeds are fundamental objects of beauty, evolutionary wonders, and biological linchpins. Yet, despite their importance, seeds are often seen as commonplace, their extraordinary natural and human histories overlooked. Thanks to this stunning book, they can be sidelined no more.\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Triumph of Seeds\u003c\/i\u003e is a book of knowledge, adventure, and wonder, spun by an award-winning writer with both the charm of a fireside storyteller and the hard-won expertise of a field biologist.
