"This book is a fascinating collection of essays about the interactions of plants and people. Twelve chapters deal with individual plants or groups of plants and one with the origins of agriculture....This is a well-written, easily readable text by a leading economic botanist."-Brittonia "Through study of these examples, we gain insight into the probable early stages of plant domestication. Written by an experienced field botanist, in a nontechnical, easy style, this book brings field botany alive."-Library Journal

Customer Reviews: great book on Oklahoma history & folklore   May 23, 2009Ginger (Oklahoma)This is my second copy of this book (the first was lost in a move). I love the stories about long-forgotten places and getting a glimpse into another time. Enough detail is given that we’ve tracked down the location of many of these "ghost towns". A great addition for anyone that’s into Oklahoma history! Informative, with good location notes   November 20, 2007Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA)4 out of 4 found this review helpfulThis excellent ghost town book identi

Customer Reviews: Humorus and easy to read.   February 22, 199912 out of 14 found this review helpfulThis book took me a day to read. It was a bit slow toward the beginning and end, (first 15 pages and last 15 pages) but the footnotes were great and enlightening. I do not think that there was enough information on Sacajawea as the book is intended. I would consider renaming this book "A Brief Summary of the Lewis and Clark Expedition: with some emphisis on Sacajawea".

Customer Reviews: Montana: A State of Extremes   October 2, 2006Barney Considine (Missoula, Montana USA)1 out of 1 found this review helpfulMontana is indeed a state of extremes. Temperatures can go from seventy below to a hundred-and-ten in the shade. Montanans historically elect Republicans at home and send Democrats to Washington DC. Western Montana was built on mining and lumber. Eastern Montana was, and is, farming and cattle. K. Ross Toole also wrote "Montana: An Uncommon Land." Since their publication, every book on Montana references one or both of these two books. True
