Orchid: Botanical

Autor Dan Torre
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 sep 2023
A wide-ranging natural and cultural history of orchids.
 
Approximately eight percent of all the Earth’s flowering species are orchids. Known for their beautiful flowers, delicate forms, and sweet fragrances, orchids are unlike any other flower. Orchids have been contemplated by philosophers, celebrated by artists, and cultivated or even eaten by millions. They occupy our thoughts, stories, greenhouses, supermarkets, and homes. Orchid surveys all of this and more as Dan Torre explores the intriguing and multifaceted natural and cultural history of orchids.

Recenzii

"Dan Torre’s Orchid is a fabulously informative, entertaining, and accessible interdisciplinary monograph drawing on a wide range of sources in horticultural and botanical studies, history, literature, and art. Torre amply displays why orchids are singular plants in many ways and have fascinated humans in many parts of the world."

"Torre dazzles us again with his compelling blend of science, culture, and intrigue in this perfect entrée into the bizarre and intriguing world of orchids. There are tales of dangerous liaisons between plants and animals, erotic orchid iconography in art, and all kinds of botanical skulduggery. As this book demonstrates so clearly, orchids are like no other plants (or living things) on this planet, and their stories must be read to be believed. Torre, as always, is the master storyteller."

"The seven chapters in the well-illustrated volume is a succinct and engaging introduction to this fascinating area of botanical research with new species being added each year to roughly 28,000 species, growing in trees, on rocks and in the ground and making up 8% of all flowering species on the globe."
