Book excerpt: A history of coffee from the sixth century to Starbucks that’s “good to the last sentence” (Las Cruces Sun News). One of Library Journal’s “Best Business Books” This updated edition of The Coffee Book is jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary covering coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the sixth century to the rise of Starbucks and the emergence of Fair Trade coffee in the twenty-first. The book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of café society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the dramatic tale of high-stakes international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies.

Download or read book Popular Anatomy written by Keath Fraser and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 1995 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning three hundred years of imaginary time, and four years of real time, Popular Anatomy is set in the present and imagined from the future. A perversely historical novel this comic chronicle springs from Vancouver in the inflationary years of the early 1980s. Its galaxy of characters -- born and unborn, white and black, impoverished and professional -- all seek a richer, closer world against expanding odds. Debt and ruin loom in a crippling recession that succeeds the Year of the Rooster. Touching down in cities from Asia to Africa, Central to South America, Keath Fraser's triptych is a masterful anatomy of our own ersatz culture, holding out some hope of a grand unity through the history of one Canadian city and its increasingly interwoven protagonists. Dwight Irving is a travel agent who loathes travel, but who finds this no impediment to fabricating a travel empire of advice and packaged trips through his highly leveraged company, Herodotus Tours. His foster charge, Aloysius, is a brilliant punk-rock orphan from Bombay, with an earring and purple hair, whose clambering entrepreneurial spirit brings him to trial for trafficking in refugees. A doctor of chiropractic, Bartlett Day, friend and housemate to the Irvings, is a wide and ironic traveller, visitor of bone caches from Calcutta to Kampala, Phnom Penh to Lima. He is a man disillusioned with his quack profession, yet in deep sympathy with his dislocated patients at home. Meditating on time and place, home and abroad, in quest of unifying metaphors in an illusory world, Popular Anatomy is science fiction in the deepest sense. Plot inflates here like Creation itself, contracting finally to reconcile fiction and history in a novel of thematic dexterity and virtuoso storytelling.

Great pics too.' - Susy Atkins, The Telegraph For everyone who wants to understand more about coffee and its wonderful nuances and possibilities, this is the book to have. Coffee has never been better, or more interesting, than it is today. Coffee producers have access to more varieties and techniques than ever before and we, as consumers, can share in that expertise to make sure the coffee we drink is the best we can find. Where coffee comes from, how it was harvested, the roasting process and the water used to make the brew are just a few of the factors that influence the taste of what we drink. Champion barista and coffee expert James Hoffmann examines these key factors, looking at varieties of coffee, the influence of terroir, how it is harvested and processed, the roasting methods used, through to the way in which the beans are brewed. Country by country - from Bolivia to Zambia - he then identifies key characteristics and the methods that determine the quality of that country's output. Along the way we learn about everything from the development of the espresso machine, to why strength guides on supermarket coffee are really not good news. This is the first book to chart the coffee production of over 35 countries, encompassing knowledge never previously published outside the coffee industry.

Download or read book The Envy of Topshelf written by Kevin Mulligan and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Fizzle, an isolated, backward place teeming with crisis. It is a nation like none other on Earth, and to survive in it, citizens have developed a state of mind equally unmatched. With an antic group of revolutionaries on a quest for truth (more or less), the termination of a great warrior caste, and a pair of exiled lovers, twinned in ambition (one has discovered the urge to write a beautiful, sublime poem, and the other desires to avoid hearing it), Fizzle is a state of constant flux. Add to the mix a 500-year-old murder mystery, an offended comet aiming for vengeance, and an overseeing deity who delights in human bewilderment, and you have the key ingredients of author Kevin Mulligan's visionary novel, The Envy of Topshelf. A 1,200-year-old monarchy has recently collapsed, and the result is two decades of civil chaos, toggling between the comic and the tragic. Just when the political leadership thinks it has finally achieved stability, havoc cries out for second helpings. The Envy of Topshelf is literary farce with an epic scope, Swiftian outlandishness infused with slapstick urgency.
