Chocolate (eBook, ePUB)

Sweet Science & Dark Secrets of the World's Favorite Treat

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"A deliciously informative, engaging and sweeping chronicle of one of the most popular treats in the world" ( Kirkus Reviews). Chocolate explores many aspects of the much-loved cacao bean: cutting-edge genetic science; social and environmental considerations; history; and culture-providing a thought-provoking look into one of the world's most popular foods through the centuries. It relates fun facts as well-like the story of the children who went on strike to protest a price hike on candy bars after World War II (and were accused of being Communist agents). As a bonus, it also includes photos-and some sweet recipes. "Fascinating... Excellent and highly original." - School Library Journal (starred review)
