A historical account of the role of fruit in the modern world explores the political machinations of multi-national corporations in distributing exotic fruits, the life of mass-produced fruits, and the author's own experience with unusual varieties that are unavailable in America. 75,000 first printing.

This vivid and unforgettable expedition through the world of exotic fruit, from an author with “the talents of a food writer, investigative journalist, poet, travel writer, and humorist” (The New York Times Book Review), is being made into a documentary starring Bill Pullman. A vivid and unforgettable expedition through the world of exotic fruit, The Fruit Hunters is the engrossing story of some of Earth’s most desired foods told by an intrepid journalist and keen observer of nature—both human and botanical. Delicious, lethal, hallucinogenic and medicinal, fruits have led nations to war, fueled dictatorships and lured people into new worlds. Adam Gollner examines the fruits we eat and explains why we eat them (the scientific, economic and aesthetic reasons); traces the life of mass-produced fruits (how they are created, grown and marketed) and explores the underworld of fruits that are inaccessible, ignored and even forbidden in the Western world. Peopled with a cast of characters as varied and bizarre as the fruit it discusses—smugglers, inventors, explorers and epicures—this extraordinary book can “fill a thousand and one summer nights with delightful reading” (The Miami Herald ).

Enos A. Mills (1870–1922) was the driving force behind the 1915 founding of Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park, which ensured the preservation and ongoing public enjoyment of one of the United States' great wilderness regions. Mills recognized visitors' need for guidance and education, and in this evocative, easy-to-read autobiography he tells of his experiences as a homesteader and nature guide.  The great naturalist John Muir encouraged Mills to assist in the promotion of parks and forests by conducting close observations of wildlife and writing and lecturing about his findings. Mills took his mentor's advice to heart, producing more than a dozen books and hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles. He also trained both men and women as nature guides, creating a new professional role for females during an era when such opportunities were rare, and he paved the way for what the National Park Service today terms "interpretation." Featuring all the illustrations from the original book, this edition transports readers to the unspoiled natural beauty of the Rockies under the expertise of one of the region's greatest advocates.
