1491 [sound recording] / Charles C. Mann /

Fourteen ninety-one (other title)
Mann, Charles C. (Author). Johnson, Peter, 1945- (Added Author).

Summary:

Charles Mann takes us on a journey of scientific exploration. We learn that the Indian development of modern corn was one of the most complex feats of genetic engineering ever performed. That the Great Plains are a third smaller today than they were in 1700 because the Indians who maintained them by burning died. And that the Amazon rain forest may be largely a human artifact.
