From the tiny sesame that we sprinkle on our bagels to the forty-five-pound double coconut borne by the coco de mer tree, seeds are a perpetual reminder of the complexity and diversity of life on earth. In An Orchard Invisible, Jonathan Silvertown presents the oft-ignored seed with the natural history it deserves, one nearly as varied and surprising as the earth’s flora itself. Enjoy An Orchard Invisible: A Natural History of Seeds, our free e-book for April.
“Entertaining and charmingly illustrated.… For all its erudition, however, this is not an encyclopedia of botanical lore, nor a definitive text, but rather a little gem of science writing that deserves a spot on any natural history lover’s bedside bookstand.… It is simply a delight to read.”—Natural History

What the heck happened last month? April Fool’s Day came a month early at our e-mail message service. For too many hours, the links in last month’s free e-book email did not work. If you missed picking up a copy of Economics for Humans by Julie A. Nelson, it is still available for free. And thanks much to the folks who alerted me to the problem last month.
