Oliver Sacks's fascination with ferns has long been a childhood passion. He explores this interest in Southern Mexico, a region rich in human history and culture. Alongside fellow enthusiasts from various fields, he searches for rare species, including ancient ferns, amidst the vibrant sights and sounds of the marketplace. Sacks combines his enthusiasm for natural history with his sharp observations on humanity, resulting in a unique blend of botany and cultural insight. His travels take him to ancient Zapotec ruins, where he discovers the peculiar passions of botanists searching for new species. This journal is a rare treat, offering a glimpse into Sacks's world of natural history and human culture.
