books by Andrew Dalby     books:       Flavours of Byzantium1 review Andrew Dalby Prospect Books (UK), 2003 Simply delicious! It was quite a treat when I discovered this book. There are many, many books detailing the gastronomy of ancient Romans and Greeks, but what of their inheritor? As far as I can tell, this is the only book on the food and dining habits of the medieval Byzantines. And it is more fortunate, then, that Andrew Dalby has written a fantastic one! His prose his light and engaging, giving out plenty of ...             Empire of Pleasures: Luxury and Indulgence in the Roman World1 review Andrew Dalby Routledge, 2000 Roman - Italian What a great book...opened my eyes to a new world food history! Worth a purchase!

I couldn't put it down. I even find myself rereading it, because the information is so much fun. Besides describing the history of spicees, Dalby quotes from many ancient sources, showing what people believed in the old days about spices: how they came to be, where they grew, how they were harvested. Some tales are truly astonishing, but that's no ...             Rediscovering Homer: Inside the Origins of the Epic5 reviews Andrew Dalby W. W. Norton, 2007 What he said. . . Brickbat70's response to Dalby's book is a good one. With my five-star rating, however, I am more forgiving of the author's few less-convincing arguments. Certainly his discussion of the Paris-Alexandros question is a stretch--one that covers too much ground to satisify. The female authorship issue notwithstanding (an idea that has been around at least since Butler), Dalby's broader discussion of ...             The Classical Cookbook1 review Andrew Dalby, Sally Grainger British Museum Press, 2000 Lovely combination of recipes and historical information Excellent book for both its recipes (easy to follow with directions given for both the English and American cook) and its description of Roman life, for both the Roman commoners and the citizens of stature. If you want to have a Roman banquet, or a simple, traditional Roman meal, this is an ideal book. I especially enjoyed the well-written sections on Roman history, which perfectly integrate the ...             Language in Danger2 reviews Andrew Dalby Columbia University Press, 2003 Good, but a bit too history-oriented In general, I found this book a good addition to the list of those publications dealing with the sad and worrying issue of the disappearence of many of the world's languages. The author is obviously sympathetic towards minority languages and is trying hard to come up with some practical arguments for their preservation. However, I found 2 major shortcomings (?) in this book. First, it ...             Siren Feasts: A History of Food and Gastronomy in Greece1 review Andrew Dalby Routledge, 1997 Not a casual read All of Andrew's Dalby's Books tend to be scholarly, and it's a little like reading somebodies doctoral thesis. He gives a comprehensive list of the foods available from Neolithic Greece to Byzantium times and quotes several plays that made referances to Greek food (from the Classical times). The problem is, he makes the usually fascinating subject of food history a dry read and it feels somewhat ...             Dictionary of Languages4 reviews Andrew Dalby Columbia University Press, 1999 Dictionary of Languages: The Definitive Reference to More Than 400 Languages Great book. Full of fascinating and detailed information. Anyone into languages must have this book.             Around the Roman Table: Food and Feasting in Ancient Rome.(Book review): An article from: The Historian Andrew Dalby Thomson Gale, 2006 This digital document is an article from The Historian, published by Thomson Gale on December 22, 2006.

Tales of his bizarre birth from a womb fashioned in his father Zeus's thigh led to even stranger stories, passed down through generations of dramatists, poets, storytellers, and historians. Bacchus is best remembered, however, for his gift of wine to humanity. With it he brought not only pleasure but also savagery and death.
