It is truly well written non-fiction! The author is passionate and knowledgeable in the subject, writing is very engaging - funny and sad when appropriate. I especially enjoyed that Steve gave credit to other researchers and their contrubution to the field. Amazing as an audiobook but couldn’t really remember any names of extinct dinosaurs/birds - which is not a barrier at all to follow the evolution process.
Ten Tomatoes that Changed the World: A History

🇨🇦 Leamington ON is mentioned twice in the book! The way the greenhouses were founded and run nowadays reflect the Canadian spirit to me: started by Italian immigrants based on Dutch technology and knowledge with help of Russians and now with immigrant farm workers from Caribbean countries working there.
I am glad the author speaks up about the migrant farm workers conditions but “free housing” should not be considered a benefit. As a public health inspector, we do annual checks of these houses and they are not great to say the least.
I got overly excited a couple of weeks ago and went on a book order frenzy on Vinted. This week I received all my (not really) new seven books! One of them is so pretty I just want to keep it under my pillow when I sleep 😍
I just wanted to share this because it made me so happy. Is there anything that made you happy this week? Can be book related or not.
