The world of books has been supplemented by a new release from the "Koleso" series for translation into Arabic. We are talking about the book "Avocado: A Global History" by American author Jeff Miller, translated into Arabic by Islam Smikh Al-Raddan and edited by Yusef Hamdan. In this book, the author studies all that is associated with avocado: its ancient history, the influence of large disappearing species on the spread of its seeds, migration from the highland homeland in Central Mexico throughout the world through human activity.
He also evaluates the assessment of ancient civilizations of avocado, its use, naming it "the gift of the gods," the ways of getting rid of it, and the images on their structures and moguls. The book also talks about avocado in the colonial era, descriptions of travelers and researchers about it, the development of its naming, appearances in newspapers, magazines, and various means of mass information.
The book describes various varieties of avocado, methods of cultivation and planting, its numerous species, international trade volumes, marketing methods for its products, and also a wide range of products it includes. The author addresses diverse practical applications of avocado in different areas of life, the medicinal properties in using its extracts in the medical industry, as well as the use of avocado in food, cosmetics, hair care, and the production of black and coloring agents.
