    Essential reading

    Essential reading for anyone interested in history, economics, geography, natural history, food, and the environment. It's nontechnical yet thorough, and relatively short, at 200+ pages in a smaller sized volume. Don't take my word for it--..Bill McKibben and David McCollough praised this book, too.

  • Too much Cod...

    This book was pretty boring (unless you are REALLY interested in Cod fish)... Pros: It's pretty short, and light... Cons: Just about everything. Basically all about catching cod, eating cod, cooking cod, having cod, regulations on cod, life span of cod, size of cod, populations of cod, impact of cod, post-cod etc etc etc. If I never see the word "cod" again, it will be too soon (and I just had to type it a dozen times)... I had to read it for a history seminar class on food. Not the type of book to read "for fun"... Not even the kind of book to read when assigned, you should just skim. Read the titles and subheadings of each chapter and you can get the whole drift of the book in 10 mins.

  • What could possibly interest anyone about Cod? Read on.

    Being a commercial pacific cod fisherman, I had a vested interest in finding out what information was contained in this book. I thought it would be about as exciting as green shag carpet. Was I ever wrong! Starting out from the very earliest history of man/cod interaction, the author engages the mind with suprising details and connections in the ways the search for cod shaped the histories of nations. Not to be forgotten is that all the chapters contain vintage recipes from the way different cultures prepare the codfish.

  • The impact of the cod industry in history

    I found this book interesting and informative. It is a great history of cod fishing and the impact it had on countries and individuals. Who would have thought that cod heads could be a delicacy, not to mention their tounges and other head parts. I purchased this book after reading "Salt" by the author. I like his style and sense of humor.

  • Cod...great history lesson fo us all

    Love this book now and back when I read it 15 yrs ago. My people were cod fishermen in Newfoundland and this book tells a bit of their story too.
