Hardback. Condición: Good. A journey into the heart of sweetness. Humans are all, secretly or openly, obsessed with sweet things-and we always have been. The Aztecs mixed chocolate with blood in sweet libations to their gods; Saladin entertained Richard the Lionheart with exotic sherbets and sugared jellies; Victorian sweets magnates built the towns of Bournville and Hersheyville from fortunes made through successful candies; and today the manufacture of sweets is shrouded in a level of secrecy that would make Willy Wonka proud. In>Sweets, Tim Richardson takes us on a magical confectionery tour through time and space, letting his personal passion fuel the narrative of candy's rich and unusual history. Beginning with a description of the biology of sweetness itself, Richardson navigates the ancient history of sweets, the incredible range and diversity of candies around the world, the bizarre figures and practices of the confectionery industry, and the connection between sweets and sex. He goes on to explore the role of sweets in myth and folklore, and finally, a personal philosophical justification for continual sweet-eating based on the writings of Epicurus. A delicious blend of anecdote, history, and investigative reporting, Sweets is the perfect gift for everyone with a sweet tooth.…

Tim Richardson's research has taken in the whole world and all of history. So we read that the Aztecs mixed chocolate with blood in sweet libations to their gods, Saladin entertained Richard the Lionheart with exotic sherbets and sugared jellies in 1191, Victorian sweet magnates built the towns of Bournville and Hersheyville as special housing for those who make sweets, and in the 21st century we discover that the production of sweets is an extremely high-tech industry shrouded in the kind of secrecy which would make Willy Wonka blush.…
