Overview

The first edition of this title was published in 1992 by Prentice-Hall and has now been fully revised to reflect the advances made in this field since then. The key features of this edition include: a description of the evolution of native and cultivated populations of plants; a review of when and where major crops were domesticated; and a discussion of the subsequent development of crops. There is also greater integration of the information on evolution and crop origins compared to the first edition.
