permaculture

[Michael Pilarski <friendsofthetrees@yahoo.com>]

I echo that these are fantastic resources for the plant explorer.  A somewhat 
companion volume is the book "Lost Crops of the Incas". 1989. Noel D. 
Vietmeyer, et al. Also by the National Academy Press.

I found these e-books online at the National Academic Press webpage: The Lost 
crops of Africa. I. Grains, II. Vegetables, III. Fruits.

Surely a interesting resource for those who are interested in tropical wild 
food conservation, diversification or just plain cultivation. I am sure there 
are some pretty drought hardy species among those listed.

You can log-on as guest and download the pdf's for free if you live in a 
developing nation (not sure how they check this: perhaps by IP address, 
perhaps not).
