This book is famous as a milestone work of historiography that overturned the established theories as expounded in Max Weber's "The Ethics of Protestantism and the Spirit of Capitalism".

The main theme of the book is precisely the argument that capital accumulated through the slave trade and slave plantations is what brought about the Industrial Revolution.

This book was also an exciting look at the course of history on a truly gigantic scale.

Once again, the reading made me realize the complexity and enormity of the world.

It is a superb work that destroys our preconceptions. Why not pick up a copy?

In my last article, "The Truth About Coffee" by Antony Wilde, I learned about the dark side of the global coffee industry.

I was left scratching my head when I read that book, but in this book, "Coffee to Read the SDGs," I learned about the people and their activities that are struggling to change such a crisis-ridden coffee industry.

The text is easy to read and the book contains many photographs, so it is a work that can be easily picked up. Why not pick up a copy?

As the subtitle of this book, "Coffee Turns and World History Turns," states, "The Black Blood of Modern Civil Society," it is a work that allows us to see how coffee has influenced modern society.

It is also very exciting to learn more about the coffee situation not only in England but also in France, Germany, and other countries. Coffee was also a major factor in the French Revolution and Napoleon.

A great piece of "world history through coffee." This is interesting! As a coffee lover, this was a very exciting book for me.

Chocolate, with which we are all familiar, is a product of modernity. Especially with the Industrial Revolution in England, chocolate began to take on a very different meaning. This book is a very exciting way to learn about this process.

Also, as mentioned in the title of this article, this book also provides the history of Kit Kat, which we are all familiar with.

This book makes it clear that the rise in popularity of these chocolate confections was precisely the result of modernization.

This book is highly recommended to learn about the origins of chocolate, which is directly related to our daily lives. If you read this book together with "The History of Chocolate" introduced in the previous issue, you will surely deepen your understanding of chocolate even more.

This book is a large-scale work that looks at the history of chocolate, which is familiar to us all, going back to the Mayan civilization in BC.

I picked up this book because I was researching the Western distribution of tea and coffee in my study of Sri Lankan history. Tea, coffee and chocolate entered the West at about the same time and were popular as beverages. I also wanted to learn about the history of chocolate because I thought that the development of plantations and trade was very significant in terms of European and Asian thought.

That is when I came across this book, "The History of Chocolate". I fell in love with this book at first sight.

Sugar was not always consumed by people as it is today.

When it first began to be distributed in Europe, it was used as a perfume and medicine, and only a very few people with overwhelming power, such as royalty, could own it.

This is a very stimulating work that considers the origins of the world through sugar, which is so commonplace in our daily lives. There was a tremendous transition for sugar to become commonplace. It is a wonderful work that questions what we take for granted. It is also very understandable that the book was introduced as "a world-famous book that pioneered the story of world history through objects.

Why not pick one up?

The book is unique in that it does not merely look at each spice, but relates it to the flow of world history.

It is exactly the book I was looking for.

It is very exciting to learn not only the basic information about where each spice originated and when it was first cultivated, but also the relationship between the spice and humans.

This work is especially recommended for those interested in history and culture, as well as for those who love spices.

Even I, who am not a fan of spices, was intrigued by this work, so I think that if you like spices, you will enjoy it even more.
