I was already interested in Cod after reading The Secret Life of Lobsters http://smile.amazon.com/The-Secret-Life-Lobsters-Scientists/dp/0060555599. From that I knew that the lobster population exploded thanks to aggressive fishing of Cod in the early 1900s. What I didn't realize was how Cod, and particularly Salt Cod, drove the exploration of North America, well before Columbus vacationed in the Bahamas. It's value was as easily transported protein, which unfortunately also made it a vital component to the slave trade.This book was written in 1999, so it's not completely up to date, but it really covers all the relevant history - right up to the crash of all the major fisheries in the 90's. After the fisheries crashed, there was some uncertainly that the fish could ever recover, but they apparently are slowly but surely coming back (up to 1/3 of historical levels in 2013). The history of the fish and the fisheries is interesting in and of itself, but what really makes this book so good are the geopolitical ramifications and history that was all an integral part of Cod fishing. A big thumbs up, and while you are there, check out The Secret Life of Lobsters.
While I am still not quite ready to eat fish for dinner anytime soon - despite great recipes - I must say that this is a truly fascinating read - author Mark Kurlasnsky does amazing research and I while I do not generally consider myself a fan of nonfiction - I hereby declare I will read everything Kurlansky writes! And furthermore, I suggest you do the same - I now know more about fishing than I ever expected to, but I am truly interested in the whole story of the fish this volume celebrates! I've learned more history and refreshed my grasp of geographywithin the pages of this little book than I have in years! I feel I could probably hold a conversation with an old salt fisherman on the merits of the quality of cod caught off of the Grand Banks! I really enjoyed this book and I am now reading Kurlansky's book "Dancing in the Streets" and next in line is his book about the Basque people! Oh and I heartily reccomend KUrlansky's book "Salt" it is astounding!
The title is self-explanatory, and accurate. This fascinating book describes how, over centuries, a single species of fish literally shaped the modern world, influencing politics, war and economies, the rise and fall of entire civilizations and the discovery and settlement or North America, among other things. The author provides considerable detail on history, politics and the capture, processing and preparing of this species. The book even ends with what the author describes as six centuries worth of recipes. The only knock, if you get the Penguin paperback version is the font size. It's tiny so anyone over the age of 40 will need some pretty strong reading glasses. But once you begin reading you'll barely notice it.
I really enjoy Kurlansky's books ! After reading the one on oysters end in October, the restaurant Legal Seafoods had their annual oyster festival and I could try different recipes for oysters. So fun ! This book on Cod had such a sad ending, we all know, about depletion of fish in our oceans, like destruction of the oyster industry, all because humans who could make a difference ignored the warning signs and those who warned them, and took action way too late.The mix of a focus on history of a food item (sometimes not food) and world history is wonderful. I had no idea one food item can have such an impact on human history. I only wish I had books like this when learning history way back when in school.I am now in the middle of Salt. And will buy Milk and other of his books.
A great book by Mark Kurlansky that explores the globalization of cod and shows its impact of history. This book taught me so much about this simple fishes influence on the past and current world. The book was as informative as it was entertaining. This book was by no means boring and I often found myself losing a few hours getting lost in the story of cod fishermen. Kurlansky writing is rich and full of an unexpected amount if emotion about his topics. The various recipes the use cod scattered around the book were a novelty touch and seem very interesting! I'm really considering trying one...only I find myself stopped by the knowledge provided by Kurlansky of how over fished cod are!
I can't recommend this book often enough. Kurlansky is a brilliant writer and does this sort-of "all the world's connected" kind of history extremely well. After reading, you think, "D'uh, I should've known that" when considering the centrality of food acquisition and production to the political-economy of the modern era, but Kurlansky is so gifted a writer that each discovery -- the reader's and those historical figures who are doing the discovering -- is an absolute delight. The book is also a splendid demonstration of just why the basics -- food and water -- are likely to be sources of conflict in coming decades.
I found this book very informational and a bit scary as an explanation of some of the oceans problems caused by man. I like how he takes a subject and really digs in to discover its history, present day, and possible future. His books have made me think and have an awareness about things that I never thought of before or just took for granted. I look forward to reading more of his works.
I loved this book--a desert rat who knows nothing about fishing. The story of how this fish influenced the discovery of the New World and the development of the US economy is breathtaking. My husband and I came to love bacaloa after a couple of trips to Portugal and Spain--wish I had known the cod story then.
