Papaya

Papaya (Carica papaya) is an important and widely-cultivated tropical fruit, grown in more than 60 countries of the world. Global papaya production has grown significantly over the last few years, mainly as a result of increased production in India. Papaya has become an important agricultural export for developing countries where export revenues of the fruit provide a livelihood for thousands of people, especially in Asia and Latin America.

With coverage that ranges from basic information to advanced research, Papaya: Biology, Cultivation, Production and Uses pulls together the vast literature scattered over various sources into one practical resource.

Papaya Salad es la primera novela gráfica de la ilustradora ítalo-tailandesa Elisa Macellari y es la historia verdadera de su tío Sompong, que desde Tailandia viajó a Europa en vísperas de la Segunda Guerra mundial. Un hombre tranquilo pero decidido, que quería buscar su sitio en el mundo. La voz del protagonista es firme y serena, como la voz de quien es consciente de estar viviendo un momento crucial de la Historia y, sin renunciar a leer la realidad desde su sensibilidad y su cultura, consigue alcanzar su destino.
