Around the World in 80 Plants

Around the World in 80 Plants is an illustrated botanical journey through 80 remarkable plants and their connections to human history, science, culture, folklore, food, and ecology. Jonathan Drori arranges the stories by world regions, from familiar species such as tomatoes and dandelions to mandrakes, Spanish moss, and marine phytoplankton. Lucille Clerc’s vibrant illustrations bring each plant’s distinctive character to life. Published by Laurence King Publishing in 2021, the hardcover edition is 216 pages and has ISBN 9781786272300. It follows Drori’s earlier book, Around the World in 80 Trees.
