Preface This is a personal book---eclectic in its gathering of facts， myths， and other thoughts that lie somewhere between the two. I make no claim to exhausting the vastness of the subject. In varying degrees， it covers history， mythology， and nutrition; there are some stories， poetry， and songs; there are charts r and recipes. Technical and botanical data have been kept to a minimum. I iT have drawn on more sources than can be properly credited in this space， and I am deeply indebted to the many friends and passersby who have gra- ciously shared their knowledge with me. I cannot adequately express my thanks to Kathy Komaroff， Marcia Davis， and my mother， Jessie Bankoff， for all their help in researching and compiling; to the editor-in-chief of Grosset & Dunlap， Bob Markel， for his encouragement; to my editor， Kevin Curley， for his invaluable assistance and patience; to Dr. Louis p. Savas i for his expert advice; to my husband， Ira， for everything; and to all the i plants which provide us with living food and which have inspired this book.
