Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't

My book concrete Botany is now available for pre-order, and not just on scAmazon ... Help me fluff the numbers so the publisher will take the pitch for the photo & art book whose contract I just wiggled my way out of with a different publisher (because *that* publisher was a friggin nightmare to work with).

Concrete botany is about a diversity of topics : the human relationship with plants today, "weeds" and ruderal plants, how I got into Botany, how accidentally stumbling into a relationship with the living world affected (and vastly improved) nearly every other aspect of my life, why most modern horticulture and landscaping is trash, why the current human relationship with - and perception of - plants is deranged, why lawn-killing and creating native habitat is good for the soul, why Mexico has the coolest native pioneer species, what the hell a pioneer species is in the first place, what biogeography is, and a lot more.

I'm really happy with how this turned out and I hope it changes (or at least irritates) modern mainstream perspectives On the roll that plants have in all of our lives (All they do is hold up the entire terrestrial biosphere).

To pre-order, visit
geni.us/ConcreteBotany Link in bio or just
Type in geni.us/ConcreteBotany into the search bar.

Don’t let anyone else read the audio book. You gotta do it. Says it will be here April 10 next year. Looking forward to it! If you scribble on it, I won’t be mad! Love what you’re up to

I want you to get the most money. SO which one of the places I can order from gives you the most money, please?

I have to recognize how much I appreciate the sentiment of wanting to “change or at least irritate” modern mainstream perspectives. It inspires me to be more irritating toward the BS of the world!

Congratulations, man. Love your work. Watching your videos really cheers me up when I’m stuck feeling glum in the city away from the wilderness.

I think this may become a cult classic of the botany world. I ordered one immediately.

Hey, don't shut up about this book. I just lost my job as a state park ranger this weekend, and can't afford to pre-order right now. But I want to, so don't shut up about this book. Because I'll forget, cause brain damage. So please don't shut up about this book
