Summary
 Jailed as a scapegoat for Stalin's famines, Vavilov had traveled over five continents, collected hundreds of thousands of seeds in an effort to outline the ancient centers of agricultural diversity. Gary Paul Nabhan weaves together Vavilov's story with his own expeditions to Earth's richest agricultural landscapes and the cultures that tend them.©2008 Island Press (P)2009 Island Press Agricultural & Food Sciences Anthropology Biological Sciences Botany & Plants Environment Outdoors & Nature Professionals & Academics Russia Science Science & Technology World Gardening Conservation Food Science Natural Resource Capitalism
