Trade Review
"Arturo Warman's study of maize elegantly documents how a domesticated New World plant could deeply affect Old World farming and eating habits and the lives and pleasures of countless human beings. The genius of Native American farmers made the whole world their beneficiaries." - Sidney W. Mintz, author of Tasting Food, Tasting Freedom
