Flower Confidential pdf epub mobi 著者簡介

Amy Stewart lives in northern California, where she and her husband own an antiquarian bookstore called Eureka Books. She writes books by typing very quickly and loudly on a jet black keyboard that has no letters printed on the keys, proving (to herself, because no one else particularly cares) that she is an excellent touch typist.

When she's not writing books, reading them, or shelving them, she might be painting. You can see examples of her paintings here and here.

You can also find her all over the country speaking to audiences at bookstores, botanical gardens, garden clubs, and college and museum lecture series. To find out if she's coming to your town, visit the Events page of her website.

Four of Amy's books have been New York Times bestsellers, and she has enjoyed contributing to the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Good Morning America, and CBS Sunday Morning.

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) granted her a Creative Writing Fellowship, and she's the winner of the American Horticultural Society's Book Award.


Flower Confidential pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

We buy more flowers a year than we do Big Macs, spending $6.2 billion annually. We use them to mark our most important events, to express sentiments that might otherwise go unsaid. And we demand perfection. So it' s no surprise that there is a $40 billion global industry devoted to making flowers flawless.

Amy Stewart takes us inside the flower trade-- from the hybridizers, who create new varieties in the laboratory, to the growers, who produce flowers by the millions (often in a factory-like setting), to the Dutch auctioneers, who set the bar (and the price), and ultimately to the neighborhood florists orchestrating the mind-boggling demands of Valentine' s and Mother' s Day. There' s the breeder intent on developing the first blue rose; an eccentric horticultural legend who created the world' s most popular lily; a grower of gerberas of every color imaginable; and the equivalent of a Tiffany diamond: the " Forever Young" rose.

Stewart explores the relevance of flowers in our lives and in our history, and in the process she reveals all that has been gained-- and lost-- by tinkering with nature.

Flower Confidential pdf epub mobi 讀後感

評分

作者瞄準的範圍有些窄,鮮花不隻是鮮切花,還有種植的花草,隨著人們消費的升級,大傢對鮮花的需要逐漸多瞭起來,相比較中國人更喜歡種植鮮花,每年春季的梔子花,直到現在還開放的茉莉,百閤,還有鞦天散發著淡淡幽香的桂花賣得不錯。 梔子花是甜香,百閤是濃香,茉莉是清洌,...

好久沒有買到花瞭,我自己是特彆喜歡鮮花的,東方的花道是對心入山林的映證,講究的是如花在野,以前讀的書裏說:鮮花是第一個人類珍視的事物裏沒有使用價值且與生存無關的。 聽完這本書老師的解讀裏比較感慨的有兩點:“1.不過,當年因為“星象傢”百閤大發其財的荷蘭種植者對...  

評分

先說兩點印象很深刻的: 1 我今後絕對不會洗花瓣澡瞭 2 偉哥溶於水養花,能夠讓花開的更久 這本書裏,其實隻揭露瞭一個事實:那就是,鮮花是商品,再精確一點,是生鮮類商品。鮮切花其實和我吃的綠葉菜來說沒什麼區彆的,一樣需要精細打理,遠程運輸,一樣在近百年的工業化大...
