Carlos Magdalena is not your average horticulturist. He's a man on a mission to save the world's most endangered plants. First captivated by the flora of his native Spain, he has traveled to the remotest parts of the globe in search of exotic species. Renowned for his pioneering work, he has committed his life to protecting plants from man-made ecological destruction and thieves hunting for wealthy collectors.

Interesting personal story of Carlos Magdalena and anecdotes of species that he helped bring back. Nice introduction to horticultural practices as well.

In this newly revised 25th anniversary edition, acclaimed writer and journalist Vivian Gornick interviews famous and lesser-known scientists, compares their experiences then and now, and shows that, although not much has changed in the world of science, what is different is women’s expectations that they can and will succeed. Everything from the disparaging comments by Harvard’s then-president to government reports and media coverage has focused on the ways in which women supposedly can’t do science.

Non-science perspective of science
Revisado: 12-19-17
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
As a woman in science myself (PhD in Engineering) I find this book to be an obscure interpretation of a scientist's plight. The author blatantly puts words in her interviewee's mouth to fit her perspective of the field. She goes on strange rants about "science is all about being right" and how women just want to be believed.
There are some interesting parts about current ideas and scandals at the time around women in science.

One hundred thousand years ago, at least six human species inhabited the Earth. Today there is just one. Us. Homo sapiens. How did our species succeed in the battle for dominance? Why did our foraging ancestors come together to create cities and kingdoms? How did we come to believe in gods, nations, and human rights; to trust money, books, and laws; and to be enslaved by bureaucracy, timetables, and consumerism?

Will make you question everything

This book will probably offend you in atleast one way. But if you like having the rug pulled out from under you, this is the book for you. Harari does a great job stepping back and looking at the whole of human history. Definitely worth the 15 hours of listening.
