During the last nine millennia or so, man has improved the rice
plant, increased its productivity and has found various uses of its
parts. The story of rice differs from region to region and has been
different in different periods of time. There was a time when tax
was collected in the form of rice in Japan, the Southeast Asian
kingdoms created hydraulic feats for its cultivation and Ottoman
armies advanced with rice as their ration. In recent years, there
have been riots due to scarcity of rice and also international
efforts to produce enough rice to avoid hunger. The book provides
an interesting reading of all such events in the course of its 9000
years long history.
