520    The story of seeds, in a nutshell, is a tale of evolution.
       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. With 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.
