Koeppel, MR Dan - Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World
Product Description In the vein of Mark Kurlansky's bestselling Salt and Cod, a gripping chronicle of the myth, mystery , and uncertain fate of the world's most popular fruit In this fascinating and surprising exploration of the banana's history, cultural significance, and endangered future , award -winning journalist Dan Koeppel gives readers plenty of food for thought. Fast-paced and highly entertaining,Banana takes us from jungle to supermarket, from corporate boardrooms to kitchen tables around the world. We begin in the Garden of Eden --examining scholars' belief that Eve's " apple " was actually a banana-- and travel to early-twentieth- century Central America, where aptly named "banana republics" rose and fell over the crop, while the companies now known as Chiquita and Dole conquered the marketplace. Review "Required reading. "--New York Post "Ambitious in scope... both fascinating and disturbing... I'll never walk through the produce aisle the same way again... [Banana] is at once a political and economic treatise, a scientific explication, and a cultural history. "--The Boston Globe "Clear, engaging... admirable... part historical narrative and part pop-science adventure. "--San Francisco Chronicle "[A] brilliant story. He has discussed bananas on NPR'sFresh Air andScience Friday.
