Tattersol I., Desol R. Beer: History and Science Book

Product description from producer

Mankind has been drinking beer since time immemorial. And who became the discoverer of this intoxicating drink? Why is the composition of beer and bread similar, and the result of consumption different? And how did the combination of water, barley, yeast and hops become a cult of mass consumer culture? In this book, biologists Rob Desol and Ian Tattersall show how complex beer is in historical, cultural, and natural contexts. This book is a fascinating journey through history, evolution and neurobiology with a mug of beer in hand. Rob Desol is curator of the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Microorganism Research Program. Ian Tattersall is curator of the American Museum of Natural History, paleoanthropologist and primate biologist. Together with Peter Nevraumon he wrote the book “Mystification. The story of deception: 5,000 falsifications and lies. ”Rob Desol and Ian Tattersall offer a cheerful and focused look at how beer first appeared, how it is brewed daily, and what happens when it is in your mouth.
