À propos du livre

A closer look at the hidden power of flowers

In How Flowers Made Our World, biologist David George Haskell reveals the remarkable influence of flowering plants on the natural world and on human civilization. Blending evolutionary science, ecology, history, and personal observation, Haskell shows how flowers developed intricate relationships with pollinators, adapted to changing environments, and came to shape the landscapes, ecosystems, and cultures we depend on.

Through vivid examples—from ancient forests to modern agriculture—the book explores how flowering plants have provided food, medicine, materials, fragrance, and inspiration, while also driving some of the most important shifts in Earth’s history. It ultimately invites readers to see flowers not just as symbols of beauty, but as extraordinary organisms whose resilience and creativity continue to sustain life today.

Flowers are not a sideshow to life on earth; they are one of its great driving forces.
