Beschreibung
""Favored Flowers" is an excellent book, an extremely impressive and important piece of original research. A case study of the contemporary commodity chain has been the 'next big thing' in anthropology, geography, and sociology for some time now, but this is one of the first studies that I have read that really lives up to the promise, including all the neglected middle sections of the chain. Here the wholesalers, the buyers, the packing, developing, storing, transporting, selecting, and distributing finally get the respect they deserve."--Daniel Miller, editor of "Materiality"
