Specificatii
A beautifully presented guide to the foods that have had the
greatest impact on human civilization. Though many of the foods in
this book are taken for granted and one (the mammoth) is no longer
consumed, these foods have kept humans alive for millennia and
theirs is a fascinating story. Like the other titles in this
highly-regarded series, this book organizes the fifty foods into
short illustrated chapters of fascinating narratives: the who,
where, when, why and how of each food's introduction and its impact
on civilization in one or more cultural, social, commercial,
political or military spheres. These stories span human history,
from our hunter-gatherer ancestors to the transatlantic slave
trade, from the introduction of frozen foods, prohibition and the
rise of the Mafia, to the powdered milk scandal in China. Another
example is golden rice, the first genetically modified food
developed for the good of humanity rather than solely for profit.
Most of the foods are familiar and their importance obvious, such
as bread, sugar, wine, potato, beef and rice. Others are far less
obvious. The fifty foods include: Mammoth - the prehistoric giant
hunted to extinction Spartan black broth - the stew that sustained
an army Paella - the Moorish origin of jambalaya Hardtack - kept
Crusaders and conquerors alive Cassoulet - a French town under
siege makes do and creates a controversial masterpiece Sugar -
European taste for sugar and the transatlantic slave trade that
ensued Hamburger - the democratization of the world Bananas - a
murky US-EU trade war. Fifty Foods That Changed the Course of
History is an informative and entertaining look at how what we eat
has made us who we are.
