Sugar Changed the World: A Story of Magic, Spice, Slavery, Freedom, and Science

If I had noted that this book was for grades 7 and higher I probably wouldn't have ordered it. That said, it is somewhat oversized like a small coffee table book. It has very high quality paper and many photos and graphics. Although all in black and white the clarity is wonderful and because of the oversizing of the hard cover edition I received they are all large enough to be readable. My knowledge of world history is not so expansive that I won't learn a lot from this book. ISBN 978 0 618 57492 6 Happy mistake!
