Historical Geography of Crop Plants is devoted to a variety of
staple and food crops, as well as fodder, fiber, timber, rubber,
and other crops. The origins and histories of many of these crops
have been clarified only recently by new research. The book has
been arranged alphabetically by family and higher taxa for easy
reference. Within families, species and cultivars are listed
chronologically and geographically. The taxonomy and geography of
probable wild progenitors have been outlined, and archeological
evidence (when available) and historical evidence on region and
domestication are traced. The subsequent evolution and spread of
many domesticated species are examined, and the reasons behind the
diversity in crop histories are explored. Historical Geography of
Crop Plants will be a useful reference for botanists, economic
botanists, ethnobiologists, agronomists, geographers, and others
interested in the subject.
