520 _aThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the complex story of human-plant interactions, from the hunter-gatherers of the Paleolithic Era, through to the 21st century and the molecular genetic manipulation of crops. It links the latest advances in molecular genetics with the science and history of plant domestication, the evolution of plant breeding, and the implications of this new knowledge for both the agriculture of today and the future.
