Perfect timing! Here is this -- just out, and a great read about botany as a major impetus behind 18th century global exchange and exploration:
By the time Jefferson and Adams toured Stowe and other gardens in the 1790s, it was 60 years after Bartram in PA & Collison in London began exchanging seeds and seedlings. And that's just the beginning. I'm so glad to have read this book.
