Food in World History by Jeffrey M Pilcher
This book examines the globalisation of food, arguing that the diffusion of crops contributed to population growth and industrialisation, and exploring the political, social and environmental implications of our changing relationship with food.
'This is a solid little book that does an admirable job of incorporating a good deal of recent scholarship on food and foodways in a succinct and accessible fashion.. Food in World History is a welcome addition to the literature on early modern and modern food history, both for its conciseness and its solidly global approach.' - Eric R. Dursteler, Brigham Young University in Canadian Journal of History, spring-summer 2008
