Free eBook for April...

Dismayed by shrink-wrapped, Styrofoam-packed supermarket fruits and vegetables? Yearn for genetically natural produce, untouched by biotech manipulation? Sorry to say, thou yearnest in vain. As Noel Kingsbury shows in ourfree e-book for April, Hybrid: The History and Science of Plant Breeding, all of our produce is the result of millennia-long selective breeding and hybridization. Kingsbury traces the history of human attempts to make plants more reliable, productive, and nutritious—a story that owes as much to accident and error as to innovation and experiment. Learn the long history of your apples and tomatoes in our free e-book, Hybrid. “In Hybrid we learn that there was a green revolution in eleventh-century China when a visionary emperor imported new strains of rice from Indochina; how working men in nineteenth-century Britain made a sport of competitive gooseberry breeding, and how a German doctor discovered hybrid vigor in plants. Hybrid the book displays, like hybrids themselves, all the marvelous fruit of miscellany.”—Jonathan Silvertown Get the e-book edition of Hybrid free in April!
