    What I didn't learn in school ('cause nobody thunk it yet)
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 14, 2013*

I did know that the oxygen liberated in photosynthesis came from water molecules.  I didn't know that the basic research in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry merged with biochemistry to fill out the details.  The problem solvers were notably NOT biologists, and I say that not to demean the life sciences, but to emphasize that the tools they needed came from research done on a seemingly totally unrelated topic.  A cautionary tale for those opposed Government spending on research that doesn't seem to be relevant to them.Oliver Morton is very readable, weaving a story of discoveries and personality which I find attractive and helps to bring the chronology alive.  There is plenty to read here, but the time spent is worth it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Five stars, all the way...
  

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 31, 2011*

I definitely agree with the earlier reviewer, who stated that he couldn't understand how anyone could give this book less than five stars!  This is by far the best book on photosynthesis (and its meaning, history and implications) that's available, and I should know since I have spent a lot of time searching for just such exquisite and detailed writing concerning this subject.Furthermore, I've bought multiple copies, because it is such a gem (both in terms of its writing style and its content).  There are so many incredibleideas and facts contained in this volume, that I find it hard to imagine just HOW the author researched and composed such a beautiful book.

    Understanding Our World
  

*by R***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 27, 2011*

This is one of the BEST books I have come across to help anyone understand how our World works, and the importance of that understanding. It takes the reader through the necessary steps of vocabulary, glossary, integrated systems, ecological insights, as well as myths and misunderstandings. Anyone reading this book will come away with new knowledge  and fresh ideas that will effect their thinking about plants, the sun and the world hence forward. This is a scientific discourse without boredom or pedantics. And it's easy to quote and enjoy. You will most certainly feel and be smarter after this read.
