A History of the World In 6 Glasses

A History of the World In 6 Glasses


by Tom Standage

  • FOOD
  • 2005
  • PAPER
  • 240 PAGES

A highly enjoyable chronicle of the prestige, power, politics and pleasures of key beverages through the ages. Standage argues that the drinks that have mattered, since the Stone Age, are, in chronological order: beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Each chapter is a vivid history of politics, prestige, colonialism, commerce and society. (GEN333, $15.95)

Well worth browsing, this refreshingly opinionated, quirky book is also a pleasure to read. Organized A-Z (and much of it written by Davidson himself) the book covers everything: ingredients and foodstuffs, national cuisines, famous chefs and food writers. (REF07, $65.00)
