History
Spice by Roger Crowley (ISBN: 9780300267471, hardback). The search for the spices of the East motivated Europe’s explorers for centuries, saw the rise and fall of colonial powers, and set in train a new era of global trade. This book tells that story, seasoned with eyewitness accounts and peppered with adventure (sorry – had to be done!)
