This book explores the apple's history and the latest debates about the use of agrichemicals, the rise of organic and heirloom orchards, and the hopes and fears of genetic crop modification. Beautifully illustrated with historic and contemporary images, and with a directory of popular and heirloom varieties, Apple  is a mouth-watering exploration of this fascinating fruit.

Reviews for Apple

The latest in the excellent Botanical series examines the mythology and history of this sweet source of temptation. --Gardens Illustrated An erudite text is presented in an easy flowing manner, so it makes you want to learn more about the subject. The wide range of photographs, mostly in colour, add to the pleasure. . . . Everyone concerned with this series ought to be congratulated. --Yorkshire Gazette and Herald
