Book SynopsisFrom prompting a transition from hunter-gatherer to an agrarian lifestyle in ancient Mesopotamia to bankrolling Britain''s imperialist conquests, strategic taxation and the regulation of beer has played a pivotal role throughout history. Beeronomics: How Beer Explains the World tells these stories, and many others, whilst also exploring the key innovations that propelled the industrialization and consolidation of the beer market.At the same time when mega-mergers in the brewing industry are creating huge transnationals selling their beer across the globe, the craft beer movement in America and Europe has brought the rich history of ancient brewing techniques to the forefront in recent years. But less talked about is the economic influence of this beverage on the world and the myriad ways it has shaped the course of history. Beeronomics covers world history through the lens of beer, exploring the common role that beer taxation has played throughout and providing context for recognizable brands and consumer trends and tastes.Beeronomics examines key developments that have moved the brewing industry forward. Its most ubiquitous ingredient, hops, was used by the Hanseatic League to establish the export dominance of Hamburg and Bremen in the sixteenth century. During the late nineteenth century, bottom-fermentation led to the spread of industrial lager beer. Industrial innovations in bottling, refrigeration, and TV advertising paved the way for the consolidation and market dominance of major macrobreweries like Anheuser Busch in America and Artois Brewery in Belgium during the twentieth century. We''re now in the era of global integration-- one multinational AB InBev, claims 46% of all beer profits-- but there''s a counterrevolution afoot of small, independent craft breweries in both America, Belgium and around the world. Beeronomics surveys these trends, giving context to why you see which brands and styles on shelves at your local supermarket or on tap at the nearby pub.Trade ReviewHighly recommended, this book isnt a dry tome. Its essential reading for those turned on by history, economics, fun facts and, erm, beer. * Paul Howard, On: Yorkshire Magazine *If you care about beer and its impact on our world, Beeronomics is a smart and entertaining primer on the subject, that deserves its place in any beer lover's library. * American Craft Beer *Highly recommended, this book isn't a dry tome either. It's essential for those turned on by history, economics, fun facts and, erm, beer. * Paul Howard, winealchemy.co.uk *This book is aimed at serious students of economics and business -- it's more investment strategies and market consolidation than tales from the pub. But even in the analysis, there are interesting moments. * Mark Mason, Daily Mail *Don't be put off by the allusion to economics; there is only a moderate amount of economics in this wide-ranging book, and most of it will be easily understood by the average reader ... All of it, no matter how far afield it seems from economics, will be put to work proving the author's thesis that beer explains the world ... you don't have to be a specialist to enjoy this book. The chapters are short - usually about eight pages - and they are well-written and understandable. * Ted Child, What's Brewing *This impressive, all-encompassing, and accessible book is a tour de force and must-read for anybody interested in history, economics, and obviously beer. Cheers! * Bart Minten, Senior research fellow, International Food Policy Research Institute *For much of human history beer was central a safe source of fluids, calories that fed the work force, and tax revenues that reshaped the political world. Monks, generals, scientists, kings, and robber barons are all part of the books journey that ends with craft beer. A must on all business schools list of case studies and your holiday gift list! * Professor Harry de Gorter, Cornell University *Beeronomics: How Beer Explains the World is a significant book. It covers diverse aspects of the economics of beer in world history, providing fascinating reading for beer enthusiasts and others alike. Each chapter is a revelation. Drawing it all together leaves us with a much changed view of this wonderful, historically important beverage. * Julian M. Alston, Professor and Director of the Robert Mondavi Institute Center for Wine Economics, UC Davis, and author of The Effects of Farm and Food Policies on Obesity in the United States *For several years now, Jo Swinnen has been devoting serious scholarly attention to a neglected topic, and uncovering intriguing stories along the way. Finally, these insights are made available to a broader public in this refreshing read. * Koen Deconinck, Former Management Consultant at Bain & Company; Economist at Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development *This is a fascinating book on beer, history, and economics by the leading beer economists from the world's beer capital. In fifteen chapters, Swinnen and Briski tell the story of how the world has shaped beer and how beer has shaped the world. * Karl Storchmann, New York University, Managing Editor of the Journal of Wine Economics *Beeronomics provides an excellent addition to the literature. It addresses and explores multiple aspects and issues related to beer and brewing worldwide, using several interesting approaches to highlight new trajectories and trends in the field. Definitely worth a read! * Professor Ignazio Cabras, Chair in Entrepreneurship and Regional Economic Development and Faculty Director (International Development), Newcastle Business School, Northumbria University *Table of ContentsIntroduction: From Monastries to Multinationals and Back 1: The World's Oldest Profession: Brewing in the Cradle of Civilization 2: A Revolution Every Thousand Years: How Hops Jumpstarted Commercial Brewing in Medieval Europe 3: The Brew that Launched a Thousand Ships: How Porter Paid for the British Royal Navy 4: A Revolution Every Thousand Years, Part II: How Bottom-Fermentation Made Beer the Darling of the Scientific and Industrial Revolutions 5: How TV Killed the Local Brewery 6: Beer Monopoly: How the Belgian Beer Barons Dethroned the King 7: Socialist Lubricant: Liberalization, Take-Overs, and Restructuring of the East European Brewery Industry 8: The Belgian White: Reincarnation of an Old World Brew 9: The Reinheitsgebot: Protection Against Competition or Contamination? 10: From Land to Brand: How Nineteenth-Century Nationalist Politics Planted the Seeds for the Global Trademark Battle Over "Budweiser" 11: The Great Convergence: The Fall of the Beer-Drinking Nation, the Rise of the Beer-Drinking World 12: From Vodka to Baltika: Deciphering Russia's Recent Love Affair with Beer 13: Trading Water or Terroir?

It is simply a delight to read."--Richard Wrangham, author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human "Natural History, on Silvertown's An Orchard Invisible" "In a nutshell, I will never look at seeds the same way again, whether teeny poppy seeds or mammoth coconuts. . . . [A] delicious little book."--Richard Wrangham, author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human "Australian, on Silvertown's An Orchard Invisible" "Silvertown breaks down the sociology, selective breeding, and nutritional evolution behind each contemporary dietary staple. . . . This tour--from animal to vegetable to beer--will give even the most ambitious foodie something to chew on."-- "Scientific American" "The Darwinian dining served up by evolutionary ecologist Silvertown in this delectably erudite study is all about tracing the impact of natural selection on foods. We learn that mussels helped to fuel the hominin exodus from Africa; rye is a weed domesticated by accident; carnivory and tapeworms are intimately linked; and Penicillium camemberti mold evolved in soft cheeses. We even examine engastration--stuffing one animal into another before cooking--as a status-led manifestation of the need to share food. This intricate scientific banquet is a marvelous read: bon appetit."--Barbara Kiser "Nature" "From the opening course of oysters to the final swill of wine, Silvertown's account of the evolution of our diet is a sumptuous experience. Dinner with Darwin combines natural history, biography, archaeology, and biology into food stories that will enlighten any meal."--Richard Wrangham, author of Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human "Washington Independent Review of Books" "Dinner with Darwin ranges far more widely--and offers vastly more substance--than the common horde of food books. This is not a candlelit foodie memoir or a 'breakthrough' weight-loss manual. Dinner with Darwin is a wide-ranging natural history of our diet, crafted at a pitch-perfect level for the science buff and the general reader alike. Silvertown is also a wonderful writer: erudite, informative, and thoroughly entertaining."--Bob Duffy "Washington Independent Review of Books"Table of Contents1. An Invitation to Dinner 2.

Book SynopsisMarlene Epp demonstrates that the meaning of Mennonite food lies within the multiple identities of the eater. Spanning the globe, from the nineteenth century to present day, Eating Like a Mennonite concludes that Mennonite food identities develop from adoptions, adaptations, and attitudes in diverse times and places.Trade Review“While food studies is an increasingly popular field of research, there remains a continued tendency to neglect domestic food production. Eating Like a Mennonite makes a major contribution by examining these intimate and quotidian acts of nourishment. Moreover, it is a delight to read, and made me hungry for the foods of my childhood.” Janis Thiessen, University of Winnipeg“Written in lively prose, Eating Like a Mennonite provides specific angles of entry into the broader topic of Mennonite self-identity and culture in a global context. Marlene Epp takes care to explore the foodways of Mennonites in such different regions of the world as Eastern Europe, India, China, Paraguay, Pennsylvania and Waterloo, Ontario. With each example, she traces foods prepared and packed for the journey, and how they come to represent comfort amidst discomfort, and familiarity in unfamiliar circumstances.” Nathalie Cooke, McGill University
