Synopsis
The definitive history of the world's most popular drug Uncommon Grounds tells the story of coffee from its discovery on a hill in ancient Abyssinia to the advent of Starbucks. Mark Pendergrast reviews the dramatic changes in coffee culture over the past decade, from the disastrous "Coffee Crisis" that caused global prices to plummet to the rise of the Fair Trade movement and the "third-wave" of quality-obsessed coffee connoisseurs. As the scope of coffee culture continues to expand, Uncommon Grounds remains more than ever a brilliantly entertaining guide to the currents of one of the world's favorite beverages., First published in 1999, Uncommon Grounds tells the story of coffee from its discovery on a hill in ancient Abyssinia to the advent of Starbucks and the coffee crisis of the 21st century. Mark Pendergrast 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. As the scope of coffee culture continues to expand, Uncommon Grounds remains more than ever a brilliantly entertaining guide to one of the world's favorite drinks., Uncommon Grounds is the definitive history of coffee, from its discovery on a hill in ancient Abyssinia to the advent of Starbucks. In this sweeping epic, Mark Pendergrast uses coffee production, trade, and consumption as a window through which to view major themes of the last three centuries of world history: the clash and blending of cultures, slavery, revolution, global inequity, the rise of brand marketing, fair trade, health scares, environmental issues, and the rediscovery of quality. Pendergrast's treatment is fully up-to-date, reviewing how coffee culture continues to change in the twenty-first century, shaped by pricing crises, climate change, social unrest, and the enduring passion of the "coffee connoisseur." Uncommon Grounds is nothing less than a coffee-flavored history of the world, a brilliantly entertaining guide to the currents of one of the world's favorite beverages. Book jacket.
