Reviews

This thorough survey, ...with the masterful touch... provides a current overview of a plant that revolutionized the world's cuisine within a few years of its discovery by Columbus in 1492. The authors summarize very nearly everything one needs to know about this fascinating genus, and the book's extensive references point the reader to state-of-the-art information on all aspects of Capsicums. -- Current Books on Gardening and Botany, June 2000<br>
