Witty and engaging, Civitello shows how history has shaped our diet--and how food has affected history. Prehistoric societies are explored all the way to present day issues such as genetically modified foods and the rise of celebrity chefs. Civitello's humorous tone and deep knowledge are the perfect antidote to the usual scholarly and academic treatment of this universally important subject.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eLINDA CIVITELLO\u003c\/b\u003e holds an MA in History from UCLA and a BA in English from Vassar.
