Mister 500,000
[h=1][/h]My boss loaned me this book knowing how much I liked plants and history. I have to say it was an excellent read. If you live in the Western world and drink tea, it is because of Robert Fortune, the subject of this book.
For those of you who love collecting trees this will also totally fascinate you. In it is a brief history of the first multi-national corporation as well. You will also learn the roots of some rather obscure phrases and traditions that have become part of the culture. I would recommend it highly.
