I’m a fan of Botany in a Day. Rather than drilling down on all of the details of any particular species, the author covers the properties of a handful of families that make up almost everything we think of as plants. I.e. what is true of everything in the mint family, or the rose family.
Somehow I manage to be both. My alcohol tolerance is very high (which is great… I like a little buzz but never want to be actually drunk), but for me, one toke is over the line.
