Beschreibung

"Delving into the strange world of succulent collecting, Jared D. Margulies explores the mystery of why some of the most ardent lovers of these plants engage in their illicit trade-even at the risk of driving some species to extinction. A heady blend of international intrigue, social theory, botanical lore, and ecological study, The Cactus Hunters offers complex insight into species extinction, conservation, and 'more-than-human' care"--
