This book's author looks at the struggle to feed the human population from the earliest days through the present. It provides a nice overview of the development of agriculture but comes up short as it explores agriculture's future. Surprisingly, a discussion of biotechnology is absent. This book is recommended in spite of that because it does a credible job in other areas.
