Around the World in 80 PlantsAround the World in 80 Plants by Jonathan Drori
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another great exploration of the natural world. Before, we had Birds and Trees and now this gives us a nice, interesting overview of some of the world's most popular plants.

This includes regular food plants from all over, but also drugs, both medicinal and recreational, and even the highly prized and uniquely valuable species that are jacked up to astronomical prices for purely economical gouging or rarity.

All in all, together with the pictures, this is a rather relaxing botanical trip. Highly recommended with the other 'Around the World in 80' books. :)
