  A cultural and social history of Britain’s breads, cakes, and pastries through the ages, from the author of Dining with the Victorians. 
   
  The Great British Baking Show and its spinoffs are a modern-day phenomenon, but the British, of course, have been baking for centuries—and here, for the first time, is a comprehensive account of how Britain’s relationship with this much-loved art has changed, evolved, and progressed over time. 
   
  Renowned food historian Emma Kay skillfully combines the related histories of Britain’s economy, innovation, technology, health, and cultural and social trends with the personal stories of many of the individuals involved with the whole process: the early pioneers, the recipe writers, the cooks, the entrepreneurs. From pies to puddings, medieval ovens to modern-day mass consumption, the result is a deliciously fascinating read.

  “The 80 recipes are important, but really, this is a food-studies book written for those who feel some nostalgia for, or connection to, Appalachia.” —Lexington Herald-Leader 
   
  Mark F. Sohn’s classic book, Mountain Country Cooking, was a James Beard Award nominee in 1997.

Appalachian Home Cooking celebrates mountain food at its best.

  When everything gets to be too much and you're paralyzed with either indecision or anxiety, it helps to have a plan to get through this period when you chant to yourself, "I just can't." 
    
  In this book, you'll find your "I just can't" meal plans that you can prepare on autopilot to get you and your family through to when you "can" deal with things again. These recipes are so easy they shouldn't even be called recipes. But sometimes when you're mind is so full of other things, it helps to have an easy button -- or in this case, an easy book -- to reference. 
    
  It would be impossible to have an easy reference book that would take in account everyone's food allergies, preferences, or dietary needs. Let this book serve as a guide and make substitions that fit with your lifestyle. That being said, there will hopefully be something for everyone in this book.

  A History of the World in 6 Glasses

  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. 
   
  A History of the World in 6 Glasses tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the twenty-first century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. Beer was first made in the Fertile Crescent and by 3000 B.C.E. was so important to Mesopotamia and Egypt that it was used to pay wages. In ancient Greece, wine became the main export of her vast seaborne trade, helping spread Greek culture abroad. Spirits such as brandy and rum fueled the Age of Exploration, fortifying seamen on long voyages and oiling the pernicious slave trade. Although coffee originated in the Arab world, it stoked revolutionary thought in Europe during the Age of Reason, when coffeehouses became centers of intellectual exchange. And hundreds of years after the Chinese began drinking tea, it became especially popular in Britain, with far-reaching effects on British foreign policy. Finally, though carbonated drinks were invented in 18th-century Europe, they became a 20th-century phenomenon, and Coca-Cola in particular is the leading symbol of globalization. 
   
  For Tom Standage, each drink is a different 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 beverage the same way again.
