Book Description:
|
Explores those uneasy places where scientific research meets public policy-making - and the resulting human effect on our natural and historical landscapes. The author follows an archaeobotanist on her research in the Near East to see what ancient agricultural practices in this largely arid region can tell us about where the West may be heading.
