Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Exploring the economics, science, and cultural significance of houseplants, a many-tendrilled history of our domestic, pot-bound companions.

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.

Brossura. Zustand: new. Traduzione di Panini A. Milano, 2024; br., pp. 256, ill., cm 15x21,5. (La Cultura). Rigogliose o rinsecchite, isolate in un angolo poco illuminato di un grigio ufficio o protagoniste assolute e sfrontate dell'ingresso di casa nostra, le piante da interno oggi sono ovunque: negli appartamenti, nei negozi, nelle palestre, negli ospedali, nelle aziende. Da quando gli esseri umani hanno iniziato a trascorrere la maggior parte delle loro giornate in luoghi chiusi e urbanizzati esse rappresentano l'ambiente botanico con cui abbiamo il contatto maggiore, quello che più influenza direttamente o indirettamente la nostra idea di natura. Consapevole che nella loro storia ci sia un frammento importante della nostra identità individuale e collettiva, in "Piante domestiche" Mike Maunder ha voluto raccontare evoluzione, biologia e significati di questi esemplari «addomesticati» di flora, le cui radici affondano in luoghi remoti e in epoche distanti. Dalla regina egizia Hatshepsut, che nel XV secolo a.C. organizzava spedizioni per recuperare incenso da coltivare nei suoi templi, all'attuale mercato internazionale di piante recise, dal valore di oltre un miliardo di dollari, fino alle futuristiche (ma già reali) piante «bioniche» che si illuminano al buio, Mike Maunder ci conduce attraverso i secoli e le civiltà per scoprire i segreti di piante ormai per noi comuni - ma in origine molto rare, esotiche e costose - come l'orchidea o la monstera, il geranio o il ficus. Un'opera che attraverso etimologie e film di culto, canzoni pop e mode dimenticate ci porta a osservare da nuove prospettive queste nostre coinquiline in vaso, fino a rivelarci che forse, nonostante le loro fragili apparenze, siamo noi quelli che, per stare davvero bene, abbiamo più bisogno di loro.
