Femtio växter som ändrat historiens gång is a beautifully illustrated book that contains fascinating stories about both famous and lesser-known plants that have played a central role in the development of man and modern society.
Plants are so common around us that we rarely stop and think about the great impact they have on our daily existence. We give away flowers on special occasions, spend laborious hours in our gardens, use plants in dyeing textiles, in cosmetics and in medicine. We are completely dependent on them for our survival, as they provide us with oxygen. The articles in the book range from rice and wheat, which are staple foods for half of the world's population, to herbs and spices, renowned for their healing properties. In the book, the history of economics, politics and agriculture is woven together based on fifty important plants.
