The book is a tribute to orchards of the past, Francesca Greenoak pointing out how different they are from the dreary commercial orchards which abound and the monotonous piles of the same fruits in fruit shops. Her aim is to encourage a change and to point out to garden owners that it's quite possible to grow a much wider and more interesting range of fruits such as medlars, quince, garden berries, mulberries, figs and grapes, almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts among many others. -.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In Forgotten Fruits, Christopher Stocks tells the fascinating - often rather bizarre - stories behind Britain's rich heritage of fruit and vegetables. Take Newton Wonder apples, for instance, first discovered around 1870 allegedly growing in the thatch of a Derbyshire pub. Or the humble gooseberry which, among other things, helped Charles Darwin to arrive at his theory of evolution. Not to mention the ubiquitous tomato, introduced to Britain from South America in the sixteenth century but regarded as highly poisonous for hearly 200 years.This is a wonderful piece of social and natural history that will appeal to every gardener and food aficionado.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The largest edible fruit native to the United States tastes like a cross between a banana and a mango. It grows wild in twenty-six states, gracing Eastern forests each fall with sweet-smelling, tropical-flavored abundance. Historically, it fed and sustained Native Americans and European explorers, presidents, and enslaved African Americans, inspiring folk songs, poetry, and scores of place names from Georgia to Illinois. Its trees are an organic grower's dream, requiring no pesticides or herbicides to thrive, and containing compounds that are among the most potent anticancer agents yet discovered.So why have so few people heard of the pawpaw, much less tasted one In Pawpawa 2016 James Beard Foundation Award nominee in the Writing & Literature categoryauthor Andrew Moore explores the past, present, and future of this unique fruit, traveling from the Ozarks to Monticello; canoeing the lower Mississippi in search of wild fruit; drinking pawpaw beer in Durham, North Carolina; tracking down lost cultivars in Appalachian hollers; and helping out during harvest season in a Maryland orchard. Along the way, he gathers pawpaw lore and knowledge not only from the plant breeders and horticulturists working to bring pawpaws into the mainstream (including Neal Peterson, known in pawpaw circles as the fruit's own "Johnny Pawpawseed"), but also regular folks who remember eating them in the woods as kids, but haven't had one in over fifty years. As much as Pawpaw is a compendium of pawpaw knowledge, it also plumbs deeper questions about American foodwayshow economic, biologic, and cultural forces combine, leading us to eat what we eat, and sometimes to ignore the incredible, delicious food growing all around us. If you haven't yet eaten a pawpaw, this book won't let you rest until you do.James Beard Foundation Book Award Nominee"This book took me on an enchanting and engaging ride through the history, folklore, and science of a neglected but magical food plant. Andrew Moore shows us, in delightful prose and a wealth of fascinating stories, the role that the under-appreciated pawpaw has played in North American culture."Toby Hemenway, author of Gaia's Garden and The Permaculture City"Andrew Moore takes us on a very personal journey investigating how and why North America's largest indigenous fruit largely disappeared, and documenting efforts to revive it. Pawpaw is a pleasure to read, and if you do you'll probably find yourself searching for and loving these delectable fruits."Sandor Ellix Katz, author of The Art of Fermentation.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'I shall reveal to you the one human act which, if implemented universally, will end mankind's turmoil and mayhem.' from The Motive of MayhemIn 1919, tragedy strikes young Barker Cunningham in Charleston.To lessen his torment, he visits the plantation in Appalachia where he was born. There he meets Polly, the charismatic young heiress of a quince fruit farm, for whom he develops a profound passion. He also gets acquainted with one of her dear friends, a primitive old sage, as well as the other equally important characters. As he learns more about the legendary quince, he's astounded to realize that this valuable fruit has largely been forgotten. Is this some kind of symbol What other important facts of nature have also been displaced or distorted because of the constant trends, fads or fashions of civilization After heart-pounding scenes and events, Barker experiences psychological breakthroughs on the matter, all foreshadowed by the sage. These wild mental discoveries, the secrets that he suspected existed, help him make sense of his life, namely his earlier misfortune, his romance with Polly, the substance of society and, by extension, the tumult and turmoil in the world. In the end, he learns that tragedy teaches truth.For Barker, the entire experience is a journey into the knowledge of the big picture of the world.
