1970 - LES LÉGUMINEUSES À GRAINS EN AFRIQUE

Author: Stanton, W.R. [et al.]

Publisher: Rome (Italy), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

 

This FAO publication relates to Whyte (1953) and

Aykryod and Doughty (1964) publications, also shown

in this exhibit. It addresses the importance of legumes

in human nutrition and their biological characteristics.

The different types of legumes grown in Africa are

examined, with specific interest in their production.

 

The minimalist green cover with only the bold white title in lower case letters and the publisher’s name in the bottom right hand corner really catches the eye. The FAO

logo was even located on the back cover to allow the front cover to grab the reader’s attention. The composition is entirely focused on the composition of the typeface and background colour.
