Review Detail

Food. We all need it for survival, but merely popping a morsel into our mouths is just the end of the story. To truly understand the significance of what we eat, take a look at this book.

Why we need to eat, food origins and history, global nutrition, preservation, etiquette, customs ... if its connected with food, this book covers it! Who Wants Pizza? by Jan Thornhill examines the history, science and culture of what we put into our mouths and why.

Like a survey course on the culinary, the book offers a broad discussion on a variety of food-related topics. Vivid colors, bold images and eye-popping photography engage readers and raise interesting questions that the text then helps answer. Readers will leave the book hungry for more of this topic.

Nutrition for the mind, a treat for the intellect. Includes a table of contents, glossary, list of resources and an index.
