My book concrete Botany is now available for pre-order ... Help me fluff the numbers so the publisher will take the pitch for the photo & art book whose contract I just wiggled my way out of with a different publisher (because *that* publisher was a friggin nightmare to work with).

Concrete botany is about a diversity of topics : the human relationship with plants today, "weeds" and ruderal plants, how I got into Botany, how accidentally stumbling into a relationship with the living world affected (and vastly improved) nearly every other aspect of my life, why most modern horticulture and landscaping is trash, why the current human relationship with - and perception of - plants is deranged, why lawn-killing and creating native habitat is good for the soul, why Mexico has the coolest native pioneer species, what the hell a pioneer species is in the first place, what biogeography is, and a lot more.

I'm really happy with how this turned out and I hope it changes (or at least irritates) modern mainstream perspectives on the role that plants have in all of our lives (All they do is hold up the entire terrestrial biosphere).
