Potatoes have played a key role in many cultures since the Inca. De Jong (retired, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Potato Research Centre, Fredericton, New Brunswick) and other horticulturalists trace the tuber's history and science, describe cultivars of particular interest to North American home gardeners, their food and other uses, and offer tips on cultivation and storage. The book features color photos and b&w drawings; nutritional information; a recipe; sources for seed potatoes; organizations, newsletters, museums, monuments, and stamps paying homage to the potato; and a glossary.
