Citrus

A History
by Pierre Laszlo

Pierre Laszlo traces the spectacular rise and spread of citrus across the globe. Blending scientific rigor with personal curiosity, Citrus ransacks over two millennia of world history, exploring the numerous roles that citrus has played in agriculture, horticulture, cooking, nutrition, religion, and art--from the Jewish feast of the Tabernacles through the gardens and courts of Versailles, from the paintings of Vincent van Gogh to the orange groves of southern California and the juicing industry of today.
