SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Berries have been juicy staples of the human diet for millennia. They are of such significance to Northern and Eastern Europeans that picking them in the wild is deemed "everyman's right," an act interwoven with cultural identity. Arndt Anderson presents a lushly illustrated ramble through the curious history of our favorite fruits.
