Book Description
Whether a symbol of the South Seas or a dream of tropical holidays, the coconut palm is first and foremost a plant grown, and also consumed, by millions of farmers. In this book, 34 important coconut varieties from 18 different countries are each depicted with a plate of exquisite photographs and a one-page text. This book also explains the botany and history of the coconut palm, and describes the ethnology of those who cultivate it. Did you know, for instance, that Tahitian healers used a piece of coconut shell to repair skull fractures? This book displays many other amazing anecdotes about this mythical palm. It is an indispensable reference for those who search having a general knowledge about agriculture and ethnology in the tropical coastal zones and islands.
