Simple and Lucid View of Stimulants Throughout History5
This book is so easy to read that you might not believe it's written by a serious German sociologist. Especially given our current coffee craze, it's fascinating to see when different stimulants (coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.) came into popularity in history. For example, before the 17th century, all they drank in England was coffee. Then strangely, they totally switched to tea and there doesn't appear to be any logical explanation. But, to sum up, this is actually a FUN sociology book.
