Food historian Cynthia Clampitt pens the epic story of what
happened when Mesoamerican farmers bred a nondescript grass into a
staff of life so prolific, so protean, that it represents nothing
less than one of humankind's greatest achievements. Blending
history with expert reportage, she traces the disparate threads
that have woven corn into the fabric of our diet, politics,
economy, science, and cuisine. At the same time she explores its
future as a source of energy and the foundation of seemingly
limitless green technologies. The result is a bourbon-to-biofuels
portrait of the astonishing plant that sustains the world.
