Potato: A History of the Propitious Esculent by John Reader and 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus by Charles C. Mann are both incredibly fascinating books. I personally wasn't so fond of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human by Richard Wrangham.Willijan wrote:The history of the world through potatoes:
John Reader's The Potato: The Propitious Esculent
Highly interesting.
by Charles C. Mann, 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created
About the Columbian exchange. Includes movement of food plants and much more. Very worth reading.
Also, I recommend Catching Fire, mentioned in a post above.
