FIFTY TALES FROM THE KITCHEN GARDEN: A SOCIAL HISTORY OF VEGETABLES
Book ID/图书代码： 04850918C00001
English Summary/英文概要： Despite being a source of insults - swede basher, cabbage head, couch potato - the kitchen garden is as full of life, excitement and anecdote as the flower garden. Vegetables have relieved, and caused, famines. They have played a part in protest movements and been used to wage and win wars. Vegetables have shaped the world we know - while the American population thrived on ‘king corn’ (maize) and green beans, Europeans were hot–housed on a diet of potatoes. Meanwhile many famous historical figures have waxed lyrical on vegetables from Claude Monet, Thomas Jefferson and George Bernard Shaw to Beatrix Potter and P.G. Wodehouse. By celebrating our history of vegetables Bill Laws highlights the facts and foibles for our pleasure and edification. “Laws delights in entertaining us with curious facts, some well known, some new.” The Garden “Fascinating and well researched.” The English Garden “You’ll discover a new side to the common garden vegetable.” Period House “There couldn’t be a better gift for the dedicated gardener.” Publishing News
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 厨房里充满了生命、兴奋和奇闻轶事，就像菜园一样。蔬菜减少了，引起了饥荒。他们在抗议运动中起了一定作用，并被用来发动战争并赢得战争。蔬菜塑造了我们所熟知的世界——而美国人却靠玉米和绿豆茁壮成长，而欧洲人则热衷于吃土豆。与此同时，从克劳德·莫奈、托马斯·杰斐逊和乔治·萧伯纳到比阿特丽克斯·波特和沃德豪斯，许多著名的历史人物都对蔬菜进行了抒情。通过庆祝我们的蔬菜历史，法律强调了事实和缺点，为着我们的快乐和启迪。（WYL）
