An Edible History of Humanity

This book takes a look into food and its history: a story of more than just sustenance. Drawing from archeological, anthropology, and economics, the author explores how food has helped shape and transform society. Looking at food as a medium that helped drive the building of empires and industrialization, this book takes a look from the development of agriculture to the industrial food crops (as well as their origins), exploring how these food staples and their products have shaped the course of history, the decisions of war, and the world of today.
