Edmonds Library Book Group - "A History of the World in 6 Glasses"
Welcome to the Edmonds Library Book Group! This month we will be discussing A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage.
Throughout human history. certain drinks have done much more than just quench thirst. As Tom Standage relates with authority and charm, six of them have had a surprisingly pervasive influence on the course of history, becoming the defining drink during a pivotal historical period.
For Tom Standage, each drink is a kind of technology, a catalyst for advancing culture by which he demonstrates the intricate interplay of different civilizations. You may never look at your favorite drink the same way again.
