Nicholas Harberd's narrative of the changing seasons has as its focus one tiny thale-cress plant in an East Anglican churchyard. He describes both what can be seen with the naked eye and the hidden molecular mechanisms that underlie it. He also tells the story of the last ten years of discovery in his own laboratory, as the team works to understand the genetic control of the growth of thale-cress. Part field notebook, part sketchbook, part diary, Seed to Seed is a dazzling evocation of the beauty of the natural world and an exhilarating explanation of the secret workings of plants.… (mere)

Sadly, this promising-sounding title was a bust. The book consists of extremely technical details of how particular genetic expressions and proteins affect plant growth, interspersed with stream-of-consciousness meanderings about the author's day-to-day experiences with plants. The contrast between the two was not interesting or insightful, and despite Halberd's efforts did not give me a sense of science and everyday life existing side-by-side; it gave me a sense that he took a personal journal and a lab notebook, threw the sentences from each into the air, and put them back together in an entirely arbitrary order.

A book in which the author manages to share his feelings for nature and his family, and his passion for science, in particular plant genetics. He tells of his excitement and doubt relating to his work, the inspiration and perspiration of scientific method, and some of his personal philosophies, with an interlinking narrative around one particular wild plant of the same species that he uses in the lab.

Long periods of descriptive writing interspersed with the action: How genes effect growth of plants and how we discover these facts. ( )

. . . what greater delight is there than to behold the earth apparelled with plants, as with a robe of embroidered worke, set with Orient pearls and garnished with great diversitie of rare and costly jewels? If this varietie and perfection of colours may affect the eie, it is such in herbs and floures, that no Apelles, no Zeuxis ever could by any art expresse the like: if odours or if taste may worke satisfaction, they are both so soveraigne in plants, and so comfortable that no confection of the Apothecaries can equall their excellent vertue. But these delights are in the outward senses: the principal delight is in the mind, singularly enriched with the knowledge of these visible things, setting forth to us the invisible wisdome and admirable workmanship of Almighty God . . .

John Gerard, The Herball or General Historie of Plants, 1597
