If New York Times bestselling author Amy Stewart's prior titles -- Wicked Bugs: The Louse that Conquered Napoleon's Army and Other Diabolical Insects; Wicked Plants: The Weed That Killed Lincoln's Mother and Other Botanical Atrocities -- and abundance of them, six books focusing on the natural world, are any indication, Stewart not only knows of which she speaks, but likes to have fun and engage the reader in unique and foreboding ways. (Beware the tree that sheds poison daggers! Dodge the world's most painful hornet!) Stewart will be presenting her newest book, The Drunken Botanist, about the science and chemistry of over 150 plants, with a special focus on how many of them came to be the spirits we identify them as -- sake, scotch, tequila -- with special guest Christian Krogstad from Portland's House Spirits Distillery.
