Incredibly, at key moments in history, the fate of humanity was determined not by kings or military leaders, but by ordinary beans. Even the Italian writer Umberto Eco claimed that beans saved our civilization.

The incredibly inquisitive journalist Joel Bruckart has delved deeply into the subject and collected in this book the most interesting and humorous stories about how peas are connected to the Neolithic Revolution, how chickpeas found themselves at the center of post-colonial conflict, and how beans became a symbol of the struggle for freedom and equality. "A Brief History of the World in 12 Beans" will show that beans nourish not only the body, but also the spirit!
