Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a nice, well written history of spices and their effects on humanity. Much of the book deals with the spice races of the 1400s and 1500s and the impact on the world and on Europe's rising power. Other sections deal with spices and their roles in history, cooking, romance, politics, religion, and war. The book is not arranged chronologically but instead in broad categories devoted to spices' various uses.
Turner is scholarly but also witty and informal in his writing. You will learn a lot and also have a lot of fun while reading his book.
