An undertaking without parallel or precedent, this monumental
volume encapsulates much of what is known of the history of food
and nutrition. It constitutes a vast and essential chapter in the
history of human health and culture. Ranging from the eating habits
of our prehistoric ancestors to food-related policy issues we face
today, this work covers the full spectrum of foods that have been
hunted, gathered, cultivated, and domesticated; their nutritional
make-up and uses; and their impact on cultures and demography. It
offers a geographical perspective on the history and culture of
food and drink and takes up subjects from food fads, prejudices,
and taboos to questions of food toxins, additives, labelling, and
entitlements. It culminates in a dictionary that identifies and
sketches out brief histories of plant foods mentioned in the text -
over 1,000 in all - and additionally supplies thousands of common
names and synonyms for those foods.
