The Wild and the Sown
This book describes the spread of new agricultural practice in the half millennium after 1350, and reconstructs a neglected part of Europe's agricultural past: the introduction of fodder crops, and the continuous reorganisation of traditional botanical inputs within a new system of farming. It breaks entirely new ground by showing the distant historical origins of a major transformation in land potential and farm productivity. A vast range of evidence is cited from Italy, France, England and elsewhere to produce in effect an economic, social and cultural history of Europe in which the focus is on the long-distance consequences of the 'agricultural revolution'.

Prospecting for Drugs in Ancient and Medieval European Texts
Classicists, historians of medicine, and working scientists collaborate to guide pharmaceutical researchers to the potential for rediscovering useful drugs from old texts. They discuss the medicines of Greco-Roman antiquity, a case study of the 1570 This Booke of Sovereigne Medicines, identifying plants in pre-Linnaean botanical literature, transforming plant lore into pharmacy, and determining whether a treatment works.
