Pretty book, covers quite a bit of information, best as an introduction to the subject. No real rational given for the particular food items chosen other than we now take them for granted. The science included seems quite simplistic, not what I expect from Smithsonian Books. It does make one appreciate how many food items from The Americas went on to become global staples.
