Description: Weeds survive, entombed in the soil, for centuries. They are as persistent and pervasive as myths. They ride out ice ages, agricultural revolutions, global wars. This book uncovers some of the deeper cultural reasons behind the attitudes we have to such a huge section of the plant world.
