Throughout history, food has acted as a catalyst of social change, political organization, geopolitical competition, industrial development, military conflict, and economic expansion. An Edible History of Humanity is a pithy, entertaining account of how a series of changes---caused, enabled, or influenced by food---has helped to shape and transform societies around the world.©2009 Tom Standage (P)2009 Tantor Comida y Vino Gastronomía Mundial África América Latina Imperialismo Militar Oriente Medio

Any additional comments?

I came into this after finishing A History of the World in Six Glasses by Tom Standage, and while he presents some interesting points about the impact of food on history, it isn't as catchy or memorable as the first book.

Interesting, not really memorable

What did you love best about An Edible History of Humanity?

The way it was written was both chronological and topical. Incredibly well written and the narrator makes it come to life!

What was one of the most memorable moments of An Edible History of Humanity?

Christopher Columbus was such a crazy failure....I imagine his convincing the royalty in Spain to look like a Court Jester trying to get tips!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

What's Food got to do with it? - Humanity is not possible without the greed of food and flavor

One of my top 5 food and history books!

Material was fine. Nowhere near as good as 6 Glasses. Narrator was abysmal. Truly killed any enjoyment. I do NOT recommend. Thanks.

The content of the book is wonderful, briefly covering many interesting topics with some in depth material but never becoming so engrossed in a single topic as to bore the reader (listener). The narrator is a bit plodding and by speeding up the playback to 110% or even 115% the performance breaks out of the doldrums and into the realm of the earnestly excited professor lecturing on their absolute favorite subject. I would highly recommend this audiobook to anyone inclined towards history.

excellent content acceptable performance

I definitely don't regret listening to it. It wasn't quite what I expected; it wasn't very "fun", but it was continually educational.

Pretty Good
