The Living Fields. Our Agricultural Heritage.

Jack R. Harlan.

A fascinating account of the origin and evolution of agriculture in various parts of the world. The agricultural systems which emerged  from areas yielding traces of the earliest plant and animal domestication are described. The book concludes with a consideration of the risks of a modern system that relies on a relatively small number of species.
