Banana combines a pop-science journey around the globe, a fascinating tale of an iconic American business enterprise, and a look into the alternately tragic and hilarious banana subculture (one does exist) - ultimately taking us to the high-tech labs where new bananas are literally being built in test tubes, in a race to save the world's most beloved fruit.

I just don’t think there is enough material in the world of bananas to fill a book.
Yes, it is the 4th most valuable crop in the world, and yes, the Cavendish, by far the most common banana, is in trouble, but the author keeps bringing the same stuff up again and again.
Got about half-way through, and gave up. I almost never give-up on a book. Similar books, micro-histories like ‘The Book on the Bookshelf’, the history of the bookshelf, is fabulous, and the book (title scapes me) On the history of the screwdriver, is a page turner by comparison. ‘The Perfectionistsk the history of Precision, is great. Bananas, not so much.
