A celebration of beer-its science, its history, and its impact on
human culture What can beer teach us about biology, history, and
the natural world? From ancient Mesopotamian fermentation practices
to the resurgent American craft brewery, Rob DeSalle and Ian
Tattersall peruse the historical record and traverse the globe for
engaging and often surprising stories about beer. They explain how
we came to drink beer, what ingredients combine to give beers their
distinctive flavors, how beer's chemistry works at the molecular
level, and how various societies have regulated the production and
consumption of beer. Drawing from such diverse subject areas as
animal behavior, ecology, history, archaeology, chemistry,
sociology, law, genetics, physiology, neurobiology, and more,
DeSalle and Tattersall entertain and inform with their engaging
stories of beer throughout human history and the science behind it
all. Readers are invited to grab a beer and explore the fascinating
history of its creation.
