What do vanilla, the word O.K., and cornflakes all have in common? They all originated in the New World. In this illustrated glossary, the authors present entries for hundreds of plants, animals, foods, words, and other things that the Americas have given to the rest of the world. They also include short sidebars on topics such as slavery, ideas, epidemics, nutrition, and property. Interesting and often surprising, this book will appeal to any reader who loves words, word origins, or history. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
