Synopsis
A renowned anthropologist explores the history and meaning of eating in America. Addressing issues ranging from the global phenomenon of Coca-Cola to the diets of American slaves, Sidney Mintz shows how our choices about food are shaped by a vast and increasingly complex global economy. He demonstrates that our food choices have enormous and often surprising significance.

    I ordered the book but the order was canceled and my money was refunded. The seller let me know that the book had been damaged in storage. I greatly appreciate not being sent a damaged copy. This is a trustworthy seller.

    after more than two weeks, i asked for a status since the item tracking had a shipping label number but no evidence of actually shipping. seller then (and only then, and without any direct communication) canceled the purchase and sent a refund. i’m glad for the refund but sure wish he’d reached out directly two weeks ago. i must start over now. i would not use this seller. unreliable and poor communications.

    Packaging was offering full protection. However, condition of the item was far from being as advertised. Unusable device. Lots of trouble. Bad overall experience. Seller fully refunded his part, but I wasn't refunded for a bit more than one third of the total expense, that being eBay shipping I guess. So, loss of time, energy, and money. Very frustrating experience. It's unfortunate but, based on this sole experience, I can't recommended this seller.
