| Zusammenfassung: | Grasses explains the history of our relationship with these humble yet vital plants from the end of the last Ice Age to the present day, exploring how these staple crops bear the mark of human influence more visibly than any other plant and how we, in turn, are motivated to protect green space such as public parks. This symbolic connection must be understood against the background of climate change, since humans will need to find a way to balance their need for grass as food, as living space and potentially even as fuel. Mixing biology, sociology and cultural history, and featuring numerous botanical images as well as many fine examples from art and culture, Grasses is a must-have for gardeners, food lovers and environmentalists alike |
