More than simply sustenance, food historically has been a kind of technology, changing the course of human progress by helping to build empires, promote industrialization, and decide the outcomes of wars. Tom Standage draws on archaeology, anthropology, and economics to reveal how food has helped shape and transform societies around the world, from the emergence of farming in China by 7500 b.c. to the use of sugar cane and corn to make ethanol today. An Edible History of Humanity is a fully satisfying account of human history.

One or two laudable attempts have been made, but they have left much to be ^ desired, and for the past tea-years my fungus eating friends have continued to urge me, as one of the oldest of fungus eaters, to give tjae^ tesults of my experience. Admirable as Dr Badham’s book was when published, and full
