Best new book: "The Brother Gardeners: Botany, Empire and the Birth
of an Obsession" came out last year. But it's one of the most interesting
horticultural books I've read in a long time. For this tale about American and
European plant explorers of the 18th century, author Andrea Wulf did an amazing
amount of research. That allowed her to write with authority not only about the
plants they discovered, but also about the explorers themselves.
