Uncommon grounds : the history of coffee and how it transformed our world / Mark Pendergrast
From the Publisher: Uncommon Grounds is the definitive history of coffee-from its discovery on an Ethiopian mountainside to the age of Starbucks and the coffee crisis of the twenty-first century. A sweeping epic, Uncommon Grounds uses coffee production, trade, and consumption as a window through which to view broad historical themes: the clash and blending of cultures, slavery, the rise of brand marketing, global inequities, fair trade, revolutions, health scares, environmental issues, and the rediscovery of quality. Replete with a cast of eccentric characters-all of them suffused with a passion for the golden bean-Uncommon Grounds is nothing less than a coffee-flavored history of the world, the classic work on coffee culture, fully updated for our times.

For God, country & Coca-Cola : the definitive history of the great American soft drink and the company that makes it
\"For God, Country and Coca-Cola is the definitive history of the great American soft drink and the company that makes it. From its origins as a patent medicine in Reconstruction Atlanta through its rise as the dominant consumer beverage of the American century, the story of Coke is as singular, appealing, and effervescent as the drink itself. Mark Pendergrast recounts more than a hundred years of the Coca-Cola Company with verve and a historian's eye for the telling detail, aligning Coke's success with the emergence of that other great American innovation-modern capitalism. With vivid portraits of the colourful cast of entrepreneurs, hustlers, swindlers, ad men, and con men who have made Coca-Cola the most recognized trademark in the world-and with a new afterword bringing the story up to today-this is business history at its best: authoritative, enlightening, and fun. Like Coke itself, For God, Country and Coca-Cola is 'The Real Thing.'\" -- Provided by publisher.

Inside the Outbreaks: A book review/AUTHOR RESPONSE
Inside the Outbreaks is the longawaited history of the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), which has grown during the last half century from a small and intrepid band of young aspiring physician-epidemiologists seeking to avoid the military draft in 1951, to a much larger group of rather more sophisticated individuals from a variety of health disciplines, many of whom are there because of career interests in global public health. [...] the last section extends from 1982 to the present and is titled, simply, \"Complex Challenges.\" While even the most seasoned EIS veteran will learn a few things from the book, it will serve primarily as an inspiring introduction to the EIS, field epidemiology, and the importance of well-funded public health efforts to students and the general public, most of whom have never heard of the EIS.
