"The genius of Hanson's fascinating, inspiring, and entertaining book stems from the fact that it is not about how all kinds of things grow from seeds; it is about the seeds themselves." -- Mark Kurlansky, New York Times Book Review

We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life: supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and pepper drove the Age of Discovery, coffee beans fueled the Enlightenment and cottonseed sparked the Industrial Revolution. Seeds are fundamental objects of beauty, evolutionary wonders, and simple fascinations. Yet, despite their importance, seeds are often seen as commonplace, their extraordinary natural and human histories overlooked. Thanks to this stunning new book, they can be overlooked no more. This is a book of knowledge, adventure, and wonder, spun by an award-winning writer with both the charm of a fireside story-teller and the hard-won expertise of a field biologist. A fascinating scientific adventure, it is essential reading for anyone who loves to see a plant grow.

Good quality, water resistant
Size: 52 inch, Color: Black
Feels thinner than the one I had before this which was the same company and model. Still good quality and value for the money. Fits well and looks good. Is water resistant and black is the true color. We’ll see how sturdy it is over the years.

Good cover for the price
Size: 58 inch, Color: Black
I’m very happy with this grill cover so far. It fit my grill really well without being too tight or loose. The material feels sturdy and weather-resistant, and it seems like it will hold up well over time. It was easy to put on and gives good coverage and protection. Definitely worth the purchase

Good quality for a great price!
Size: 52 inch, Color: Black
Very nice grill cover! I thought it was going to be a thin piece of plastic, but I was surprised when it came and it’s actually a substantially thick layered cover. The inside has a thermal layer I didn’t expect. Even the Velcro tabs on the sides are thick! I feel like I really got my moneys worth! I just have a regular gas grill that gets little use. I noticed this year there was rust on it in spots, so I thought a cover would help prevent any more rusting. I think this will definitely help my rust situation, plus it looks neater with a cover. Very happy with this purchase!

Great product
Size: 58 inch, Color: Black
This cover is excellent quality and fits my grill perfectly. The material feels durable, and it’s fully waterproof, which protects the non‑stainless steel parts from rain and moisture. Overall, it gives me great peace of mind knowing my grill is well protected.

Very nice and priced right
Size: 48 inch, Color: Heavy Duty-Black
Although this cover is slightly larger than my grill, it's heavy duty and should last a long time in the weather. Installing was a breeze, and the velcro straps help secure it in place better than my last one. This truly is a nice cover and appears to be able to withstand anything thrown at it. Nice product, 2 thumbs up!!
