In Green Inheritance Anthony Huxley portrays the beauty, diversity and remarkable history of our heritage of wild and cultivated plants and landscapes, and presents a striking picture of the reach of the wild into our lives. Above all, this book arouses concern about the destruction that now threatens our plant heritage, about the slender genetic base of the world's staple crops, and about the dwindling last locations of wild resources with their unexplored potential as food, fuel and in scientific research.
