''This enjoyable work provides readers with an overview of the history of modern as well as traditional soy food products. It also points out roadblocks to improving nutritional standards of populations abroad through the introduction of soybean foods. The World of Soy will be extremely informative to groups such as food companies, chefs, and international agencies seeking to expand the uses of soybeans.'' Theodore Hymowitz, emeritus professor of plant genetics, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign ''Measured in cash terms, soy (Glycine max) is in some ways the most important crop, and in terms of imports and exports, second only to wheat. The fact that this important book has contributions by seventeen authors reflects more than the circumstances of its origins in a couple of academic conferences; it also shows the vastness of the topic and the large number of disciplines required to make sense of it... [This] exemplary, comprehensive volume shows the way to frame the crucial questions of food studies. ''- Times Literary Supplement, 4th March 09
