Elizabeth Lemoine (au); Francoise Izrael (fr).

Did you know that wheat is not only one of the most popular cereals, it is also one of the most symbolic foods there is? A wheat field is almost sacredly reminiscent of Demeter, the Greek goddess of agriculture, Mother Earth, seed & fertility. The carrot has ancient roots which trace back to at least 6 millennia before our time! Lemoine began growing & studying plant life in her Paris home with seeds provided by the Mus. of Natural History & continues her research in the countryside where she tends her garden. Vivid full-page color photos. Heavy, coated stock. Oversized!
