ListeningtoWords.com is a collection of lectures and speeches available for listening online, ranging from authors to presidents to anthropologists to physicists to economists, including this one:
Cannabis, the Importance of Forgetting, and the Botany of Desire— Michael Pollan, UC Berkeley professor and author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma
the lecture is about 90 minutes and is definitely worth a watch/listen (it has video as well as audio) for those interested in the subjects of the historical use of medicinal plants and human-plant relationships in terms of evolution – a lot of really interesting pieces of information in terms of biochemistry and the connections between botanical science and the human-plant co-evolutionary experience. read more of pollan’s work here.
