Nature's chemicals : the natural products that shaped our world / Richard Firn.

This monograph describes natural products as a group in an evolutionary context. It synthesizes a widely dispersed literature and provides a general picture of natural products encompassing evolution, history, ecology, and environmental issues, along with some deeper theory relevant to biochemistry.
