The Fruit Hunters, A Story of Nature, Obsession, Commerce and Adventure
Adam Leith Gollner
SCIENCE •  2008 •  HARD COVER  • 288 PAGES

The coco-de-mer, found only in the Seychelles, Asia's repugnant and coveted durian and all many exotic and wonderful fruits that you've never heard of take the starring role in this surprisingly juicy account of the history, pleasure and business of fruit. Admittedly addled, Gollner chronicles his travels all over the planet in search of Galangal, chempedak, salak, jambu, sapote, voavanga, farkleberry, ballion and other such marvels.  (NAT138, $25.00)
