Description:

Do trees talk to one another? Can a plant use up the oxygen in a room while you sleep? What is a native plant and what is a weed? Are some plants truly immortal?

Through 50 beautifully crafted essays, former director of preeminent botanic gardens and self-confessed plant punk Tim Entwisle shines a gentle light on everyday questions about plants and gardens, guiding the reader through fact and fiction.

Including the best of his contributions to gardening magazines and newspapers over four decades, as well as 24 pieces written specially for this book, The Sceptical Botanist is a tour de force of investigative writing from one of Australia's most thoughtful and inquisitive botanical minds.

Pick up The Sceptical Botanist and you'll never look at a plant or garden in the same way again!

'Entwisle is a confident explorer and guide. Whether he's exploring our relationships with plants, the way that scientists think, or the reasons for some very unnatural beliefs about nature, his humour, integrity and lightly-worn knowledge shine through.' Professor Jonathan Drori, CBE

Works well
Format: Hardcover
I learned a lot about current college selection process. I still recommend urging your kids to apply for stretch colleges. Don't limit to safe schools. But this book helped me understand the nature of current college student selection process, i feel less crazy re contradictory results.
