The next UB Green Book Club Meeting will be 7pm on Wednesday, February 18^th at the UB Green Environmental Library. This month, we will be discussing Botany of Desire by Michael Pollan.

One reviewer of Botany of Desire on Amazon.com writes “Polan is unusually talented at explaining complex ideas and he does so in a way that is fresh, fun, often funny, and surprisingly profound. Pollan’s section on Johnny Appleseed alone is worth the price of the book. The Botany of Desire is chiefly the history of the tulip, apples in America, cannabis, and the potato. This may not sound like the recipe for a really satisfying read, but in Michael Pollan’s more than able hands, it certainly is. If you enjoy gardening, history, or just plain old very decent writing, I expect you too would appreciate this excellent book.” Sounds like a good read, right?
