Eating The Sun by Oliver Morton
How Plants Power the Planet
A sweeping popular-science account of how photosynthesis and plant life have driven Earth’s energy flows and shaped the planet’s history, tracing the evolution of light-harvesting processes, the development of ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles, and the way ancient sunlight became the fossil fuels that now power human civilization; it links molecular biology, geology and climate science to explain humanity’s energy choices and the environmental consequences, while exploring potential alternatives and the challenges of moving to sustainable sources.
