Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Utterly original and well-documented, this engaging book tells the story of six popular drinks—beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola—and their pervasive influences on the course of history during pivotal epochs, from the adoption of agriculture and the birth of cities to the advent of globalization.
Each section tells the history of each drink and shows how it has advanced culture and sparked change. "Incisive, illuminating, and swift."—The New York Times.
