Domestication of Plants in the Old World: The Origin and Spread of Cultivated Plants in West Asia, Europe and the Nile Valley - Hardcover
Synopsis
The authors here review the origin and subsequent spread of the plants on which old world food production was founded. Their account is mainly based on detailed consideration of two lines of evidence: the plant remains found at archaeological sites, and the knowledge that has accumulated about the present-day wild relatives of cultivated plants. General conclusions are presented separately from the facts that bear upon them, so that readers can draw their own conclusions from the evidence. The aim throughout is to provide a definitive book on the subject, specially for researchers and undergraduates in agriculture, archaeology, botany and geography.

Review
For those studying these areas of domestication this is good reference text. (TEG News)
The book is both a work of reference and an absorbing read. (Plant Talk)
A nearly complete compendium of Old World crop plants that makes the book very informative yet easy reading ... a first-rate source of knowledge on Old World crops. (Plant Systematics and Evolution)
This is the third edition of a fascinating book that provides a further update, refinement and clarity to our understanding of the origin and spread of cultivated plants in the Old World. (Annals of Botany)
