In this brilliant, engrossing work, Jack Turner explores an era—from ancient times through the Renaissance—when what we now consider common condiments were valued in gold and blood. Spices made sour medieval wines palatable, camouflaged the smell of corpses, and served as wedding night aphrodisiacs. Indispensible for cooking, medicine, worship, and the arts of love, they were thought to have magical properties and were so valuable that they were often kept under lock and key. For some, spices represented Paradise, for others, the road to perdition, but they were potent symbols of wealth and power, and the wish to possess them drove explorers to circumnavigate the globe—and even to savagery. Following spices across continents and through literature and mythology, Spice is a beguiling narrative about the surprisingly vast influence spices have had on human desire. Includes eight pages of color photographs. One of the Best Books of the Year: Discover Magazine, The Christian Science Monitor, San Francisco Chronicle

The story of the sixteenth-century's epic contest for the spice trade, which propelled European maritime exploration and conquest across Asia and the Pacific Spices drove the early modern world economy, and for Europeans they represented riches on an unprecedented scale. Cloves and nutmeg could reach Europe only via a complex web of trade routes, and for decades Spanish and Portuguese explorers competed to find their elusive source. But when the Portuguese finally reached the spice islands of the Moluccas in 1511, they set in motion a fierce competition for control. Roger Crowley shows how this struggle shaped the modern world. From 1511 to 1571, European powers linked up the oceans, established vast maritime empires, and gave birth to global trade, all in the attempt to control the supply of spices. Taking us on voyages from the dockyards of Seville to the vastness of the Pacific, the volcanic Spice Islands of Indonesia, the Arctic Circle, and the coasts of China, this is a narrative history rich in vivid eyewitness accounts of the adventures, shipwrecks, and sieges that formed the first colonial encounters--and remade the world economy for centuries to follow.

More than 125 entries profile individual spices, regional cuisines, influential locations and trade routes, key issues in the modern spice trade, and much more. Entries on individual spices include information about the plant, its geographic distribution, history and cultural significance of its use, and any contemporary threats or concerns. Each entry includes cross-referencing and a list of further readings, allowing readers to both broaden and deepen their understanding of the subject. Sidebars supplement the main text, offering bite-sized, high-interest facts. Spices have been an important part of human culture for thousands of years. They were used to flavor and preserve food, as medicine, and even in religious practices. European demand for spices from the Middle East, Asia, and beyond created a complex network of merchants and trade routes, producing economic powerhouses and forever changing the culinary landscape of the Western world. Although the spice trade connected people and cultures across the globe, the insatiable quest for spices and the wealth they brought also contributed heavily to the rise of colonialism. This legacy of exploitation endures even today, with concerns over issues such as fair labor practices and environmental degradation leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of spice producers worldwide.
