Written by the Eden team

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

The Eden Project has been described as the eighth wonder of the world. In the four years since it opened in a barren china clay pit in Cornwall, it has been visited by more than five million of us. We leave inspired and invigorated by the way it reminds us of one simple fact: that plants and

people are interdependent. Without plants, we all die.

Plants for biodiversity, plants for food, plants for health, plants for materials ... Out of Eden is designed to carry Eden's message way beyond the pit. Taking the exhibits - potato, coffee, tea, rubber, cola, chicle, chocolate and many more - as a starting point, the Eden Project team's vibrant narrative combines history, botany, horticulture and global politics to follow the story of the world's crucial plants.

But, like the Eden Project, this book is not just about plants. It is about sustainability, about bringing industrial landscapes back from the dead and about recognizing our dependence on the natural world. Most importantly, it is about our future: it is our duty to hope and the future is ours to invent. How can we invest in a world we want to live in?

Out of Eden is a stunning companion to the Eden Project and an essential reference for everyone concerned for our planet.
