About This Item
New York, NY: Stein & Day, 1973. 1st Ed. Sm black mark on front cover, slight edge & corner wear, content excellent. Hardbound. 8vo. 18 Pgs.. Nr Fine. Food In History by Reay Tannahill. Published by Stein & Day, New York, NY, 1973. 1st Edition. Hardbound. No DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine. Sm black mark on front cover, slight edge & corner wear, content excellent. 448 Pgs. ISBN 0812814371. LCCN 75-160342. A pioneer work on a deceptively simple theme. The book's purpose is to examine the forces which have shaped the nature of man's diet throughout the course of thirty thousand years, and to show, without special pleading, something of the way in which the pursuit of more and better food has helped to direct - sometimes decisively, more often subtly - the movement of history itself. To demonstrate, in effect, that in some senses at least food is history. Illustrated with maps and black and white photographs. Description text copyright 2005 BooksForComfort. Item ID 8338.
