We see grass everyday, tread on it, maybe handle, smell, or plant it. But how many of us noticed it, let alone appreciated its amazing presence and resilience and the way it someway holds our planet together? It’s everywhere.

 

This beautifully illustrated book, engaging and readable, gives us the full picture. It tells of the marvelously complex evolution of grass, the incredible number of species (did you know that bamboo and sugar-cane are forms of grass, and that three kinds of grass make up the major food of humans and the grazing (‘grass’-eating) of innumerable animals?), leading us on into some appreciation of the abiding necessity of grass for humanity, for nature and for the arts. It has a place in folklore too, and in poetry

 

A book to give and to treasure.
