Description
A poetic and philosophical look at the surprising place of dandelions in our lives and world
There's nothing quite like dandelions. We celebrate them as beautiful, yet spend millions of dollars each year to eradicate them from lawns. We see them everywhere, but consider them non-native and are not quite sure how they arrived here. We know their benefits as food and medicine, but perhaps not the full extent of their gifts. In Dandelions, Jarod K. Anderson holds up a magnifying glass and puts seeds under the microscope to explore these philosophical and biological quirks. Most importantly, he gives us a moving account of the poetic niche they fill as an organism that thrives in disturbed spaces, and how this parallels what it means to be human today.
