 | Millions of Americans do not need to think about how to start their day: Whether it's a steaming mug of diner brew or a designer cup of frothy, gourmet latte, coffee is the answer. And with 500 million coffee drinkers worldwide, it is one of the most popular drinks. But before coffee beans are imported, ground or brewed, they are planted, nurtured, and harvested by an estimated 25 million people for whom coffee is a livelihood. In this book, Linda Rice Lorenzetti and Daniel Lorenzetti trace the annual coffee cycle across five continents, from the Dutch plantations of Sumatra to the mountains of Costa Rica, recording in evocative prose and striking images the hard labor and big business within this centuries-old industry. In its specially processed coffee-toned prints, the book celebrates the distant landscapes and cultural vitality that infuse the coffee trade. This book is the centerpiece of the multimedia Birth of Coffee project, a multiplatform initiative intended to foster the understanding of the people and places involved in the production of coffee worldwide.

 | Linking alchemy, anthropology, politics, and science, Antony Wild uncovers the intrigue that coffee has woven into its 500-year history. Coffee trader and historian Antony Wild delivers a rollicking history of the most valuable legally traded commodity in the world after oil--and an industry that employs one hundred million people throughout the world. from obscure beginnings in East Africa in the 15th century as a stimulant in religious devotion, coffee became an imperial commodity, produced by poor tropical countries and consumed by rich temperate ones. Through the centuries, the influence of coffee on the rise of capitalism and its institutions has been enormous. Revolutions were once hatched in coffeehouses, commercial alliances forged, secret societies formed, and politics and art endlessly debated. Today, while coffee chains spread like wildfire, coffee-producing countries are in crisis: with prices at a historic low, they are plagued by unprecedented unemployment, abandoned farms, enforced migration, and massive social disruption. Bridging the gap between coffee's dismal colonial past and its perilous corporate present, Coffee reveals the shocking exploitation that has always lurked at the heart of the industry.
