Plants and Their Uses

Lectures that provide an introduction to the domestication of cultivated plants and a comparison and in-depth look at the major uses of plants in the world today. Although plants of importance in the United States will be highlighted, an attempt will be made to provide a worldwide perspective of plant uses. Relevant anthropological and historical background will be given in order to facilitate understanding of present and future patterns of plant usage.
