In the 1940s chemists discovered that barbasco, a wild yam indigenous to Mexico, could be used to mass produce synthetic steroid hormones. This book features the story of how rural yam pickers, international pharmaceutical companies, and the Mexican state collaborated and collided over the barbasco.
