	Description:		What plants have had the greatest impact on humanity? Not only do we eat plants, but across history we have used plants to store knowledge, to kill, to fuel wars, to change our state of consciousness, and to indicate our status. Simon Barnes is the author of many books including the bestselling Bad Birdwatcher trilogy, Rewild Yourself, On The Marsh and The History of the World in 100 Animals. His latest work is the History of the World in 100 Plants. From the mighty oak to algae, cotton to coca, flax to the Baobab - plants that have shaped the world.
