In her wise and elegant new book, Jane Goodall
blends her experience in nature with her enthusiasm for
botany to give readers a deeper understanding of the world
around us.
Long before her work with chimpanzees,
Goodall's passion for the natural world sprouted in the
backyard of her childhood home in England, where she climbed
her beech tree and made elderberry wine with her
grandmother. The garden her family began then, she continues
to enjoy today.
SEEDS OF HOPE takes us from England
to Goodall's home-away-from-home in Africa, deep inside the
Gombe forest, where she and the chimpanzees are enchanted by
the fig and plum trees they encounter. She introduces us to
botanists around the world, as well as places where hope for
plants can be found, such as The Millennium Seed Bank, where
one billion seeds are preserved. She shows us the secret
world of plants with all their mysteries and potential for
healing our bodies as well as Planet Earth.
Looking
at the world as an adventurer, scientist, and devotee of
sustainable foods and gardening-and setting forth simple
goals we can all take to protect the plants around us-Jane
Goodall delivers an enlightening story of the wonders we can
find in our own backyards.
