520    "The foods we eat have a deep and often surprising past. 
       Many foods we consume today--from almonds and apples to 
       tea and rice--have histories can be traced along the 
       tracks of the Silk Road out of prehistoric Central Asia to
       European kitchens and American tables. Organized trade 
       along the Silk Road dates to at least Han Dynasty China in
       the second century B.C., but the exchange of goods, ideas,
       cultural practices, and genes along these ancient trading 
       routes extends back five thousand years. Balancing a broad
       array of archaeological, botanical, and historical 
       evidence, Fruit from the Sands presents the fascinating 
       story of the origins and spread of agriculture across 
       Inner Asia and into Europe and East Asia. Through the 
       preserved remains of plants in archaeological sites, 
       Robert N. Spengler III identifies the regions where our 
       most familiar crops were domesticated and follows their 
       routes as people carried them around the world. Vividly 
       narrated, Fruit from the Sands explores how the foods we 
       eat have shaped the course of human history and 
       transformed consumption all over the globe"--Provided by
