“Filled with quirky surprises and things you would have never thought to ask, Bunyard’s celebration of fruit is endlessly entertaining.” –Mark Kurlansky, author of Salt, Cod, and The Big Oyster When we think of dessert, our mind’s eye sees cakes, pies, and pastries. Yet the truly creative palate imagines things even more tempting, decadent, and, yes, sinful. So claims Edward Bunyard in this delectable paean to the wonderful fruits of the vine, from apples and apricots to gooseberries and strawberries, from pears to the grapes that give us wine. Bunyard, a nurseryman at the turn of the last century, lovingly devotes a chapter to each fruit, sharing a heartfelt disquisition on the many types of strawberries, in which bigger is not always better; revealing how denizens of cooler and warmer climes differ in their perceptions about grapes; and asserting that “immoderate indulgence” in melon has toppled great dynasties and changed the course of history. Bunyard even offers advice on the most delightful wine and fruit pairings, and settles once and for all the debate that has raged for nearly three millennia: Which are tastier, hothouse figs or the outdoor variety. Introduced by Michael Pollan, The Anatomy of Dessert is a cornucopia of wisdom that’s never out of season. It is time again to savor this classic work, first published in 1929, that gives above-the-title billing to the myriad foodstuffs we often refer to as “afters.” So come and partake in the fruits of Edward Bunyard’s labor of love.

This book brings up-to-date information on different topics about the pear tree cultivation. The book was organised by Alberto Ramos Luz, Technologist in Fruit Crops, MD and PhD in Plant Production, specialist and lover of this culture. The chapters were written in collaboration with researchers and professors from Universities and Research Institutions of four different continents (South America, North America, Europe and Asia). The book was divided in the following chapters: 1. Propagation and orchard establishment (Giacobbo et al.); 2. Traditional pear varieties in the east region of Republic of North Macedonia (Selamovska et al.); 3. An updated view on fertilization and pollination in European pears (Pyrus communis) (Goldway et al.); 4. Vegetative growth control (Pasa et al.); 5. Precocity production of pear trees grafted on high-vigor rootstocks (Almeida et al.); 6. Dormancy adaptation in pear trees grown under mild winter conditions in Brazil (Herter et al.); 7. Management techniques to increase yield of European pear trees grown in subtropical climate (Luz et al.); and 8. Water management based on precision agriculture for pears (Yamazaki and Miyakawa). Basic content and more specific and in-depth content are presented such as a series of research results and experiences on behavior and management tools to grown pear trees in subtropical climate, warmer conditions of the traditionally cultivated areas, subject of world-wide interest in the face of the climatic changes that are occurring over the years.
