My book concrete Botany is now available for pre-order ...
Concrete botany is about a diversity of topics : the human relationship with plants today, why some plants are invasive, what invasion biology is, how biogeography helps explain it, "weeds" and ruderal plants, how I got into Botany, why 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, 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 both horticulture and the role that plants have in all of our lives (All they do is hold up the entire terrestrial biosphere).
