I will also pick this book up. I look forward to reading this, and also wonder if there will be any references to the United Fruit Company within the text. The effect of food commodities regionally and globally is staggering. Should be an interesting and educational read.
I visited the website/blog link, and found the entries to be very interesting. Thanks for the invite! Have a great day!
