Book Overview

Food For The Million, Maize Against Potato: A Case For The Times is a book written by Curiae, Amicus and originally published in 1847. The book argues in favor of the cultivation and consumption of maize as a staple food crop, instead of potatoes. It presents a compelling case for the benefits of maize, including its higher nutritional value, lower susceptibility to disease, and greater versatility in cooking. The author also addresses concerns about the potential risks of relying too heavily on a single crop, as was the case with the Irish potato famine. Overall, Food For The Million, Maize Against Potato is an informative and persuasive argument for the widespread adoption of maize as a key food source.Comprising The History, Uses, And Culture Of Indian Corn, And Especially Showing The Practicability And Necessity Of Cultivating The Dwarf Varieties, In England And Ireland.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
