Mr. Root has written more than 200 essays on the earth's more common foods (w/ shorter entries ion the uncommon) that offer FASCINATING information about food from ancient times to the present: its hunting or harvesting; its preparation & serving in different places & times; preferences among different peoples; uses in daily eating, royal banquets, or primitive rites; mythology; quality, taste & texture--the most UNEXPECTED, the most CURIOUS, the most AMUSING facts about food imaginable. * "Food" is a surprising work of great erudition. It is a true dictionary, in view of its SCRUPULOUS organization, but it may be more accurately described as a belles-lettres encyclopedia, written in the witty, personable style unique to Mr. Root. From "apple" to "zucchini", form "lamb" to "lobster", Waverley Root sets a marvelous feast before us in this DELCIOUSLY ENGAGING & ERUDITE history of food. What could be more DELIGHTFUL?" * SHIPPING: We custom wrap & label & securely package this superb book for FREE shipment within the United States via USPS Media MaiL (or via USPS Priority Mail for a nominal $10.00 charge) and at our posted rates to international destinations via USPS First Class Airmail (recommended) or USPS Priority Airmail.
