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. It also examines the industry's major players 
revealing the damage that's been done to farmers  laborers  and the environment by mass
cultivation-and explores the growing conscious coffee market. Drawing on sources ranging from
Molière and beatnik cartoonists to the Food and Agriculture Organization  the authors describe
the beverage's long and colorful rise to ubiquity. -The Economist Most stimulating. -The
