"Van Wyk presents a superbly illustrated guide to more than 350 commercially important plants that are sources of cereals, nuts, fruits, vegetables, drinks, herbs, and spices. The photos distinguish this work work from similar titles."—D. M. Rosenthal, Choice, April 2006

"A hefty but well-mannered reference approach to the topic, this book packs a serious informational punch."—Tod Eunker, Bloomsbury Review, March/April 2006
