Title: Oranges Author: John McPhee Narrator: Grover Gardner Format: mp3 Length: 4 hrs and 15 mins Release date: 09-12-23 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 30 ratings Genres: Essays Publisher's Summary: A classic of reportage, Oranges was first conceived as a magazine article, but John McPhee kept encountering so much irresistible information that he wrote a book. It is perhaps the last word on the subject (the first came in 500 BC and is attributed to Confucius). McPhee writes about the botany, history, and industry of oranges, from the great orangeries of European monarchs to a fascinating profile of Ben Hill Griffin of Frostproof, Florida, who may be the last of the individual orange barons.
