- W2989716245 abstract "Lexicon of Pulse Crops is a unique, interesting, and perhaps fanciful book. It is about pulse crops, which are an important group of crops internationally. These crops are critically important for sustainable agriculture as they are capable of making their own nitrogen fertilizer and thus have very low carbon footprint. The seeds of these crops are rich in protein, slowly digestible carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. They are gaining increasing importance in the trend toward sustainable diets based heavily on plant-based proteins. Aleksandar Mikić devotes a chapter to a summary of the world's languages, their origins, and distribution in a concise and accessible manner. Lexicon of Pulse Crops summarizes the common names for 14 of the most important pulse crop genera in diverse regions of the world, including chapters covering Arachis, Cajanus, Cicer, Ervum, Faba, Glycine, Lablab, Lathyrus, Lens, Lupinus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Vicia, and Vigna. Indeed, more than 9500 popular names in 900 living and extinct languages are included in this book. This book will appeal to biologists, ecologists, horticulturalists, and literature majors, in addition to humanists and those in religious studies, with its positive messages for the world. The book also provides interesting descriptions of the domestication history of pulse crops in diverse regions of the world and how the seeds came to be used in culinary traditions. Aleksandar Mikić has developed a vast collection of drawings, paintings, and photographs that make the book visually attractive. The drawings aid the reader in understanding the origins of the names using his unique sketches of the pulse plant, its leaves, stems, flowers, pods, and roots. Lexicon of Pulse Crops includes an extensive index and vast reference list to facilitate searching the book and the wider literature." @default.
