Celebrity botanist Joey Santore's delightfully irreverent almanac of rare and beautiful plants from around the world
Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't by Joey Santore is a crass, low-brow approach to the exciting world of plant ecology and evolution, as written by a misanthropic Chicago Italian.

Within the pages of this book, readers will find everything there is to know about the Internet's favorite botanist and his eventful travels: a biographical section detailing Santore's path from railroads to rhododendrons features alongside a botany crash course, a stunning photographic guide to worldwide plant ecosystems, conversations with notable botanists, and loads of illustrations, fun facts, and trivia.
After the incredible success of Nicole Angemi's Anatomy Book, Cernunnos continues to explore the world of science with the help of a cast of celebrity experts. Get lost in the plant realm with Joey Santore and you'll see why his dedicated audience of nearly a million continues to bloom and grow.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Joey Santore was a railroad worker when he first discovered his interest in botany, which quickly grew into a hobby, then a passion, and then an all-out obsession. The self-taught, tattooed, shit-talking Chicagoan found a rapt audience when he started sharing photographs, drawings, anecdotes, and educational information in online videos about our planet's landscapes, ecosystems, and multitudes of remarkable plant species.
