Tonight we speak with STEPHEN A. HARRIS, the Druce Curator of Oxford University Herbaria. We will be talking about his new book ROOTS TO SEEDS: 400 YEARS OF OXFORD BOTANY. This large-format beautiful book traces the centuries-long history of the study of botany at Oxford University: from the establishment of the physik garden in the 17th Century,  traveling the world collecting plant specimens, creating a botanical library, to the modern scientific study of botany at the university.
