This book was right up my alley and provided exactly what I wanted. This is a very concise and slightly outdated annotated outline of different plants that have influenced civilization. One of things I actually learned instead of re-read was the use of woad. It is the ancestral blue dye of Europe. Very interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone who has a slight inkling for plants.

Short, interesting chapters on aspects of plant domestication, use, importance in human civilization.

People need to pay WAY more attention to botany or we are all at peril.
