They also support their own miniature ecosystems and are part of the home biome.Featuring many superb illustrations, House Plants explores both their botanical history and cultural impact, from song (Gracie Fieldss Biggest Aspidistra in the World), literature (Orwells Keep the Aspidistra Flying), and cinema (Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors) to fashion, technology, contemporary design, and painting.'This is quite simply a masterpiece of a book and certainly the finest on house plants I have ever come across. Maunder uses the canvas of our obsession to have plants in the home to write a hugely thought-provoking essay on the science of an industry, the vagaries of fashion, [and] the impact on artistic movements from wallpaper to installations to the huge landscape designs of Roberto Burle Marx.All this set against the febrile kleptocracy of plant hunting from around the world and the increasing evolution of house plants as an almost neurological quest to return to the wild.You will return to it time and again.' Sir Tim Smit KBE, cofounder of the Eden Project'If you have a gentle affinity for houseplants now, you will love and be inspired by them after reading this book. Maunder brings our unassuming, green live-in companions to dazzling life. Who knew we were sharing our homes with characters that belong in a rip-roaring adventure novel? Plant blindness has been cured by this book!' Paul Smith, secretary general of Botanic Gardens Conservation International'A wonderful treatise that weaves science, conservation, and history into a highly readable narrative, this book is a timely reminder of our long association with house plants and the numerous benefits they bring to our households.' Tim Upson, director of horticulture, education, and communities, Royal Horticultural Society An exploration of the botanical history and cultural impact of house plants.
