The new book by Charles C. Mann, 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created, looks at how the era of exploration, as epitomized by the voyages of Christopher Columbus, changed the world. Through a process called the Columbian Exchange, new fruits, vegetables, and pests were able to colonize new lands, and change the course of human history. Fascinating stuff!
The New York Botanical Garden is a museum of plants, an educational institution, and a scientific research organization. Founded in 1891 & now a National Historic Landmark, it is one of the greatest botanical gardens in the world. http://www.nybg.org/
