Whatever your favourite tipple, when you pour yourself a drink, you have the past in a glass.
You can likely find them all in your own kitchen — beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, cola. Line them up on the counter, and there you have it: thousands of years of human history in six drinks.
Tom Standage opens a window onto the past in this tour of six beverages that remain essentials today. En route he makes fascinating forays into the byways of western culture: Why were ancient Egyptians buried with beer? Why was wine considered a “classier” drink than beer by the Romans? How did rum grog help the British navy defeat Napoleon? What is the relationship between coffee and revolution? And how did Coca-Cola become the number one poster-product for globalization decades before the term was even coined?

@Belize. The content itself is super interesting and worth reading... but I wouldn't say that Standage is a interesting writer..
评分A unique perspective of world history
评分长知识的科普散文,用人类主流饮品的更迭梳理了我们熟知的历史,也提供了一种新鲜的视角:才知道像波士顿倾茶事件还跟当年朗姆制造商对英帝国征税不满有关;才知道百事可乐攻占了共产主义市场,却在苏联解体后因品牌形象“过于本土”输给了可口可乐;才知道英国人全民饮茶普及了不到一百年,而且爱喝红茶最初是因为它比绿茶容易保存。。。语言平实,但逻辑清楚,非常轻松,适合在地铁和马桶上阅读。

评分A unique perspective of world history
I like this book as it provides a unique perspective on understanding world history. The author Tom examines trends and forces of humanity evolution through the lenses of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. It's hard and even ridiculous to summarize...
评分有许多影响人类历史发展的不起眼的小东西,比如指南针、印刷术还有酿酒术。 大众饮料发展至今,在很多人看来,是跟随着历史潮流演变而成的。《六个瓶子里的历史》对伴随着人类历史发展所出现的六种流行饮料的交替兴盛做了梳理,厘清了他们各自的从出现到兴盛的脉络。 从酒(...
评分 评分谨以此文献给那些在智能时代养儿育女,偶而得闲喝点啤酒的爸爸们。 一、阿尔法的报幕 毫无疑问,近年来科技界最大的风口就是人工智能。其实人工智能这事儿吧,在历史上已经掀起过两次波澜了。第一次是在上世纪五六十年代,伴随着计算机的发明应用,“达特茅斯会议”标志着人工...
评分历史总是有趣的,从不同的角度去看,总会有一些新的发现和观点,本书也不例外,讲述了六个瓶子(啤酒、葡萄酒、烈酒、咖啡、茶、可乐)的故事,并借此梳理了人类历史的演变: 1.啤酒:啤酒已经有6000年的历史了,是在农业发展粮食吃不完需要存储的情况下,发酵产生的一种饮料,...
