  • "In this broadly recognized classic of historical commentary, Henry Hobhouse traces the wondrous cultural impact of six common plants on humanity worldwide. Hobhouse argues that man's developing need for these little seeds determined the direction of human history. And as a result of man's need and greed, these plants - in their cultivation and dissemination - possess powers more profound than most wars and revolutions. A fascinating anecdotal approach to history, and "a triumph of a nimble and disciplined mind." (economist).--COVER."
  • ""...Henry Hobhouse takes six commercials plants - sugar, tea, cotton, the potato, quinine and the coca plant - and shows how man's need, or greed, for these products has changed the face of history and shaped destinies."."
  • "The first edition of this book traced the history of 5 plants, sugar, tea, cotton, potatoes and quinine, and demonstrated how these products changed the face of history. This new edition includes the coca plant and its social and political impact."
