Buch, das gelesen wurde, sich aber in einem guten Zustand befindet. Der Einband weist nur sehr geringfügige Beschädigungen auf, wie z.B. kleinere Schrammen, er hat aber weder Löcher, noch ist er eingerissen. Bei gebundenen Büchern ist der Schutzumschlag möglicherweise nicht mehr vorhanden. Die Bindung weist geringfügige Gebrauchsspuren auf. Die Mehrzahl der Seiten ist unbeschädigt, das heißt, es gibt kaum Knitter oder Einrisse, es wurden nur in geringem Maße Bleistiftunterstreichungen im Text vorgenommen, es gibt keine Textmarkierungen und die Randbereiche sind nicht beschrieben. Alle Seiten sind vollständig vorhanden. Genauere Einzelheiten sowie eine Beschreibung eventueller Mängel entnehmen Sie bitte dem Angebot des Verkäufers.

Synopsis
This book is a revised and updated version of the very popular Oxford Book of Food Plants which first appeared in 1969. The authors have added plants that have come into common use since then, and have rewritten the text to reflect current knowledge, especially about nutrition. The original full-colour illustrations by Barbara Nicholson are reprinted in full, together with new paintings especially commissioned for this book. This is a comprehensive and enjoyable reference work about the many edible plants we grow in our gardens, buy in our shops, and consume cooked or raw, either on their own or as part of a recipe. All plants are illustrated in colour with emphasis on the edible parts, while the text entries give reliable information about each plant, its historical and current uses, and its nutritional value. An excellent addition to the library of any cook, gardener, naturalist, and all those interested in healthy eating styles., Here is the most comprehensive--and most appealing--reference book available on the many edible plants we grow in our gardens, buy in our shops, and eat with great relish. A true cornucopia, The New Oxford Book of Food Plants overflows with information and is packed with beautiful, hand-painted illustrations of the world's food plants. In an oversized format with alternating full-page color plates, readers will find a feast of facts about cereals, sugar crops, oil seeds, nuts, legumes, fruits, vegetables, spices, herbs, sea-weeds, mushrooms, wild food plants, and much more besides. The book, for example, provides authoritative coverage of fruit worldwide, both the varieties you commonly find at your local food stand (apples, oranges, strawberries, kiwi, bananas), and some you might not ordinarily see (mangosteen, manzanilla, marang, tamarind, or whortleberry). Similarly, we can uncover information on vegetables from acorn squash, asparagus, and broccoli, to truffle, turnips, watercress, and zucchini; nuts from the beechnut and the betel nut to the pistachio and the walnut; and herbs from anise and arrowroot to tarragon and wintergreen. Entries typically discuss the source and history of a plant, how it is prepared for market, and how it is used as food. Thus, for the Common Bean, we learn that it is the most widely cultivated bean in the world; that it has a host of local varieties and names (including French Beans, String Beans, Snap Beans, Frijoles); that remains have been found in Mexico that date back seven thousand years; that it is used in dishes that range from France's cassoulet to Mexican chili; and we even learn that one type of cultivar, known as "nuoas," is grown only in very high altitudes in South America and that it "pops" when cooked, rather like pop corn. And the illustrations for the Common Bean show the flowers, pods, and seeds of several varieties, including the Climbing Purple-Podded Kidney Bean, the Brown Haricot, the White Haricot, and the Mexican Black Bean. And in addition to covering everything from beverage crops to tropical root crops, the editor has included a glossary of botanical terms, a section on nutrition and health, nutrition tables, a list of recommended readings, and an index. With marvelous hand-painted illustrations and a wealth of nutritional, historical, and other information, The New Oxford Book of Food Plants belongs on the shelf of everyone who loves to garden, to cook, and to eat healthily.
