Making Eden

"Making Eden" by David Beerling explores the fascinating evolutionary history of Earth's plant life, from its origins in water to its domination of the continents. The book examines the vital role plants play in ecosystems and climate regulation, while also addressing contemporary threats to biodiversity and their implications for food security and climate change. Drawing on recent scientific research and Beerling’s own fieldwork, it offers insights into how understanding our plant heritage is essential for shaping a sustainable future.
