Tasty Tubers of the World

A Brooklyn Botanic Garden All-Region Guide
edited by Beth Hanson, illustrated by Steve Buchanan

Though there are many unusual cultivars of corn, squash, and other big name crops worth profiling, this book focuses on some New World vegetables that you don't hear too much about. They are fun to grow, pleasing to the eye, and delicious to eat. And cultivating these New World vegetables will give you a deeper insight into the history and ethnobotany of the indigenous peoples of America.
