The authors use their considerable expertise in crop sciences and nutrition to present a simplified, but reasonably comprehensive, description of the agronomy of grain crops, the processing of such crops for different foods, and some of the historical development of grains and related foods. -- Agricultural History (11/1/2011 12:00:00 AM) This stimulating and easy to read book should appeal to a general readership, including agriculturalists, anthropologists, historians and food technologists. --N. L. Innes (1/1/2011 12:00:00 AM) This work is a readable history of one of humankind's fundamental staples... Its straightforward approach makes it an engaging survey of the evolution of a basic food source. Summing Up: Recommended -- Choice (4/1/2011 12:00:00 AM) Bread, Beer and the Seeds of Change is more than just a mere history or sociology text for discussions in a college classroom. The book is also an interesting read for the casual reader. I found the insets used throughout the book provided readers with a wealth of interesting insights into agriculture and sociology. A word of warning; this book may take a while for some to read, especially, those who happen to be beer connoisseurs. I experienced an unexplainable thirst for beer starting with Chapter Four after reading a recipe and instructions for brewing credited to George Washington. All readers may not have this problem, but for me I thoroughly enjoyed reading Bread, Beer and the Seeds of Change, with a bottle of beer close at hand. --Homer C.

Emery Economic Botany Author InformationMs. Sinclair has a lifetime interest in foods and nutrition. She has lived and traveled in many countries of the world exploring local methods in food preparation and the cuisine of the countries. The basis for these foods and the variation in cuisine has been of special interest. She has been involved in organizing menus to facilitate new experiences of a range of foods and food preparation.
