One might be forgiven for thinking that plant hunting itself came to an end in 1958 - but nothing could be further from the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the contrary, there have been more new plant introductions in the past thirty years than ever before. The aim of \u003cem\u003eModern Plant Hunters\u003c\/em\u003e is to tell the stories of the modern-day plant hunters - such pioneering adventurers as Mikinori Ogisu, Dan Hinkley, Ed de Vogel, Lin Yu-Lin, Bill Terry and Claire Scobie. The book also aims to broaden the remit: to examine the search for medicinal plants and the work of scientific institutions, both of which have been largely ignored, and to consider such developments as the effect of habitat destruction on plant loss and plant diversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854681755884,"sku":"9781910258781","price":89.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/e5c74b4839255ae72d4b9e012f9c0bb4.jpg?v=1759279835"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sandy-primrose.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
