| Summary, etc. |
"This delightful book tells the history of the potato, from its origins in Incan gardens thousands of years ago to its place on a NASA manned rocket destined for Mars. Less humble than it may seem, the potato has played a crucial role in human history wherever people have embraced it as a staple food."--Back cover. |
