That act set in motion the remarkable saga of one of the world's most influential crops--one that would transform the future of Africa and of the Atlantic world. The recent spread of maize has been alarmingly fast, with implications largely overlooked by the media and policymakers. McCann's compelling history offers insight into the profound influence of a single crop on African culture, health, technological innovation, and the future of the world's food supply.CornAfricaHistoryGrainAfricaHistoryCornHistory.GrainHistory.633.15096NW 2570rvkMcCann James1950-896977MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996247851503316Maize and grace2363466UNISA03231nam 22006375 450 991037389020332120251116225146.09783030371012303037101810.1007/978-3-030-37101-2(CKB)4100000010122036(MiAaPQ)EBC6032991(DE-He213)978-3-030-37101-2(PPN)242847366(Perlego)3480204(EXLCZ)99410000001012203620200128d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBiblical Principles for Resilience in Leadership Theory and Cases /by Carlo A.
