DeCarabas
is finished
The final chapter is on plants in space, and from it I've learned very little about plants in space, a bit more about how humans react to the absence of plants, and a lot about the author's personal experience of zero gravity. The whole book's been like that. This pop science book really really wanted to be a botanist's memoir. The memoir parts were fun to read though!

This is pop science, it's mostly trivia not in-depth explanations and that's fine, it's 200 pages and half of that is photos, but I still feel like taking a red pen to this like it's an essay. You have not proved your point!! You just tossed out a cool claim and fully did not provide any evidence for it!! You can't just say the modular construction of the Crystal Palace was based on plants and not explain how!!
