David George Haskell is a British and American biologist, writer, and a two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist in General Nonfiction. Haskell holds degrees from the University of Oxford (BA), Cornell University (PhD) and is Adjunct Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at Emory University in Atlanta.On this episode of Nature Revisited, Haskell examines the role flowers played in creating the world we know today. When they evolved, they remade the natural world: Gorgeous petals and alluring aromas transformed former enemies into cooperative partners. The radical genetic flexibility of flowers allowed them to build and sustain rainforests, savannahs, prairies, and even ocean shores. Flowers catalyzed human evolution, and we now depend on them for food and a healthy planet.https://dghaskell.comhttps://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/775876/how-flowers-made-our-world-by-david-george-haskell/Listen to Nature Revisited on your favorite podcast apps, on YouTube, or at https://noordenproductions.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/bdz4s9d7Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/5n7yx28tSubscribe on Youtube Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/bddd55v9Podlink: https://pod.link/1456657951Support Nature Revisited https://noordenproductions.com/supportNature Revisited is produced by Stefan van Norden and Charles Geoghegan.
