Join bestselling author Amy Stewart as she takes on Mother Nature’s most appalling creations. Her new book, Wicked Plants, is an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend. Drawing on history, medicine, science, and legend, Stewart presents tales of bloodcurdling botany that will entertain, alarm, and enlighten even the most intrepid gardeners and nature lovers. Wicked Plants will be published in May 2009 from Algonquin Books. But you can watch the video now–if you dare. Find out more at www.wickedplants.com
