«Seeds of Change» is Henry Hobhouse's essay on botanical and economic history, published by Papermac in paperback (272 pages, in English).
The essay brings together the history of five commercial plants —sugar, tea, cotton, potato and quinine— to show how human need and greed for these crops drove momentous events: the rise of the slave trade, the destruction of China and other changes that have shaped the economy, politics and society of the modern world.
«Seeds of Change» was first published in 1986 as «Seeds of Change: Six Plants That Transformed Mankind»; the present Papermac edition is dated 12 August 1994.
