The wondrous and extraordinary saga of plants and how they have shaped history is traced, explored, and celebrated in Flora Mirabilis, this glorious 256-page volume partnering the authority of the National Geographic Society with the prestigious library collections of the world-renowned Missouri Botanical Garden.
With a compelling foreword by leading botanist and conservation advocate Peter Raven, president of the Missouri Botanical Garden, and an eloquent introduction by Douglas Holland, director of the Missouri Botanical Garden Library, Flora Mirabilis: How Plants Have Shaped World Knowledge, Health, Wealth, and Beauty appeals as much to the casual gardener, flower aficionado, or nature lover as it does to the serious student of history or botany.
