This book explores the fascinating world of weeds- the plants we all know and love to hate. From crabgrass to poison ivy, weeds are familiar, pervasive, and seemingly invincible. Why do we consider them villains? Through historical research and his own travels, Mabey examines how weeds have been portrayed in literature and the media. He argues that we have caused plants to become weeds through our reckless treatment of the earth. Weeds can destroy ecosystems, but they can also restore war zones and derelict cities. Mabey shows how useful these unloved plants can be, from serving as the first crops and medicines to inspiring the invention of Velcro. A provocative defense of the plants we love to hate, Weeds is a profound and sympathetic meditation on the natural world.
