Historia
Lives of Weeds explores the tangled history of weeds and their relationship to humans. Through eight interwoven stories, John Cardina offers a fresh perspective on how these tenacious plants came about, why they are both inevitable and essential, and how their ecological success is ensured by determined efforts to eradicate them. Linking botany, history, ecology, and evolutionary biology to the social dimensions of humanity's ancient struggle with feral flora, Cardina shows how weeds have shaped - and are shaped by - the way we live in the natural world.

Interesting read.

I had the pleasure of listening to John Cardina’s book, Lives of Weeds as I drove up to New Hampshire. I especially enjoyed listening to the evolutionary backdrop of the lowly dandelion. I've a new appreciation for this common beauty and its ability to adapt and survive. No more tug-of-war with its never ending root system for me. When it comes to the rules of my lawn, if it’s green, it stays. Weeds are everywhere. My own backyard contains a bounty of unidentified weeds.
Come spring I will venture into the weedy corners of my yard and attempt to identify some of my own resident weeds. Reading Lives of Weeds has inspired me to want to learn a little bit more about the weeds around me.
