This unique book provides a scientific text on the subject of 'ethanol' that also aims to include material designed to show 'non-scientists' what fermentation is all about.
Archaelogists and anthropologists (especially ethnologists) have for many years realised that man's ingestion of alcoholic beverages may well have played a significant part in his transition from hunter-gatherer to agriculturalist. This unique book provides a scientific text on the subject of 'ethanol' that also aims to include material designed to show 'non-scientists' what fermentation is all about. Conversely, scientists may well be surprised to find the extent to which ethanol has played a part in evolution and civilisation of our species.
The outline history of fermented beverages; Yeast structure and molecular biology; The process of fermentation; 'Mainstream' beverages; Indigenous fermentations; Anthropological, archaeological, and sociological perspectives; Ethanol and the body; Health aspects of alcoholic beverages; Appendix: The physicochemistry of ethanol.
