This book is basically about the discovery of how photosynthesis works. So, photosynthesis is turning carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into something useful to both plants and to us: sugar and oxygen. The process of photosynthesis evolved in these things called blue-green bacteria three billion years ago and this is the foundation on which everything else has been built by evolution.
