Milho, Makka, and Yu Mai: Early Journeys of Zea Mays to Asia
Anne E. Desjardins et al
This publication begins with the discovery of maize in Mesoamerica by Columbus in 1492. Subsequent chapters follow the journeys of maize eastward, as milho, makka, and yu mai, to Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Each chapter section begins with a general description of the types of evidence we have discovered for each geographical region, then continues with specific references to maize in general chronological order.
Notebook, various page numbers, illustrated
