In this book, which might be very important for many of us, author, journalist and philosopher Michael Pollan describes his absolutely unexpected to us vision on kind of relation between Man and Nature, on how people and domesticated plants have formed each other. Reffering to such human desires as sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control and linking them with the satisfied plants – the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato, and how the plants have evolved to satisfy humankind’s most basic yearnings.

“…our sense of plants as passive objects is a failure of imagination, rooted in the fact that plants occupy what amounts to a different dimension.”

”The fact, simply, is this,” Pollan writes. ”Apples don’t ‘come true’ from seeds — that is, an apple tree grown from a seed will be a wildling bearing little resemblance to its parent.” A tree grown from Red Delicious seed may bear fruit that’s emerald or umber, golf-ball-size or big as a grapefruit, cloyingly sweet or ”sour enough to set a squirrel’s teeth on edge,” as Thoreau put it — anything, that is, except Red and Delicious. ”Thoreau claimed to like the taste of such apples,” Pollan adds, ”but most of his countrymen judged them good for little but hard cider — and hard cider was the fate of most apples grown in America up until Prohibition. Apples were something people drank.” Johnny Appleseed was so beloved, in other words, because he ”was bringing the gift of alcohol to the frontier.”

Who is really domesticating whom that is the quastion.
The book is highly recommended to all thoose who are prone to thought.
