Hemp and cannabis
First and foremost, the seed is an incredible biological invention. A revolution, in fact, because with the seed, plants definitively cast off their moorings ... and head for the earth!
With the seed, there's no return to life on earth for animals and mankind, who unknowingly have always depended on the spontaneous sowing of wild species.
With the seed came agriculture, which has shaped all our societies, lifestyles and civilizations.
Whichever way you look at a subject, and as you unfold your thoughts and studies, you'll almost always find a seed at its origin. In this century well underway, seeds are still the major issue. And in those to come, seed control, conflict and speculation will always be topical.
Seeds are humanity's greatest concern.
It is the focus of this beautiful book, which discusses seeds in all their dimensions: biology, horticulture, history, economics, society, politics, gardening, cooking... There is something for everyone to learn and marvel at, as the world of seeds abounds with treasures for us to discover.
A timeless, one-of-a-kind book for the curious, the learned, the gardeners, the historians, the cooks, the seed rebels...
