How do plants cross an ocean to colonize a bare volcanic island? In this second volume Henry Guppy follows seeds carried by currents across the Pacific, and draws a surprising lesson from the British flora too. A pioneering study of how life disperses. Trace the drifting seeds that populate the loneliest islands on earth.
