Pollan takes four plants (apples, tulips, marijuana, and potatoes) and examines the plants and their relationship to us and how they meet various "desires" of humans (for sweetness, beauty, intoxication and control, respectively). And he thinks about whether we are affecting the plants or the plants are affecting us. I'm making it sound a lot less cool than it actually is though, so please don't be put off by my description - this really is a an enjoyable book - while reading it, I felt more like I was reading a fiction/page-turner than a non-fiction book.
