1st Edition Oranges (SIGNED)

Oranges by John McPhee is a classic work of narrative nonfiction that explores the history, botany, and industry of oranges, expanding from a short magazine article into a book. It covers the fruit's journey from Asia to the Americas, its cultural significance (from symbols of royalty to breakfast staples), the science of citrus, and profiles of figures like Florida orange baron Ben Hill Griffin, all told with McPhee's signature engaging and humorous style.
