Your Call 121608 Eating the Sun

As we attempt to design a sustainable world, what can we learn from plants? On the next Your Call, we welcome Oliver Morton, editor of Nature and author of Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet. Morton argues that photosynthesis is not only the key to humanity's history; it is also vital to confronting and understanding contemporary realities like climate change and the global food shortage. How can understanding the history of science help us change what we're facing today? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guest: Oliver Morton in San Francisco
Author of Eating the Sun: How Plants Power the Planet. He is also the Chief News and Features Editor at Nature, the world's leading interdisciplinary science journal.
