Michael Pollan is a faculty member of the Graduate School of Journalism at UC
Berkeley; a contributing writer to the New York Times Magazine; and past
executive editor for Harper's magazine. Pollan’s first book, Second Nature: A
Gardener's Education (1991), and his more recent, The Botany of Desire (2001),
are among his many works that examine the intersections between science and
culture. In them we see a remarkable power to discern the intertwining
ecological, political, and moral valences of problems that are at once
contemporary and deeply rooted in Western history and culture. We also see in
his books and articles important questions about writing: to whom are we as
committed researchers trying to speak, and how can we be both deeply serious
about ideas and courses, and yet clear, and even engaging, at the same time?
