Description
Gravenstein. Coe's Golden Drop. Mendocino Cox. The names sound like
something from the imagination of Tolkien or perhaps the ingredients in
a dubious magical potion rather than what they are-varieties of apples.
But as befits their enchanting names, apples have transfixed and
beguiled humans for thousands of years.

Apple: A Global History explores the
cultural and culinary importance of a fruit born in the mountains of
Kazakhstan that has since traversed the globe to become a favorite
almost everywhere. From the Garden of Eden and Homer's Odyssey to
Johnny Appleseed, William Tell, and even Apple Computer, Erika Janik
shows how apples have become a universal source of sustenance, health,
and symbolism from ancient times to the present day.

Featuring many mouthwatering illustrations, this
exploration of the planet's most popular fruit includes a guide to
selecting the best apples, in addition to apple recipes from around the
world, including what is believed to be the first recorded apple recipe
from Roman gourmand Marcus Apicius. And Janik doesn't let us forget that
apples are not just good eating; their juice also makes for good
drinking-as the history of cider in North America and Europe attests.

Janik grew up surrounded by apple iconography in
Washington, the "apple state," so there is no better author to tell this
fascinating story. Readers will eat up this surprising and entertaining
tale of a fruit intricately linked to human history.
