Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World

Banana: The Fate of the Fruit That Changed the World by Dan Koeppel
English | 27 Dec. 2007 | ISBN: 1594630380 | 303 Pages | PDF | 4 MB

Fast-paced and highly entertaining, Banana takes us from jungle to supermarket, from corporate boardrooms to kitchen tables around the world. We begin in the Garden of Eden examining scholars belief that Eve s apple was actually a banana and travel to early-twentieth-century Central America, where aptly named banana republics rose and fell over the crop, while the companies now known as Chiquita and Dole conquered the marketplace.
