Mintz; lists of tables, illustrations, photographs; introduction, appendix, bibliography, glossary, index. "A meticulously researched history of Taiwanese agriculture, Dr. Ka's study is invaluable for what it affords to our understanding of a variant and still little-understood national imperialism in a relatively little-known setting. But it also has much to tell us about the history of two of humankind's most important--and yet wholly different--foods, sugar and rice. "; 0813336376. Very Good with no dust jacket .

| SLIMMING, JOHN Green Plums and a Bamboo Horse: A Picture of Formosa London: John Murray, 1964. Hardcover. Author's signed presentation copy; spine slightly cocked.; 15 x 22 cm.; pg. 194; Index, map, list of 25 drawings and photos by the author. "This is the first book to be written about Formosa by an Englishman since before the Sino-Japanese war. Very few English people have lived in Chiang Kai-shek's Formosa; for one thing they are not very welcome since Britain recognises Peking and not Taipei. But the author and his Malayan-Chinese wife did live there and he gives what he describes as a street-level view of it. [The author] has lived in many Far Eastern countries [including Malaya and Burma] and this enables him to appreciate the qualities and problems of the Chinese in Formosa; and it is his understanding in depth of place and people, together with his remarkable descriptive writing, that makes a most unusual book.
