The Coffee Book

Anatomy of an Industry from Crop to the Last Drop

By: Nina Luttinger,Gregory Dicum

A history of coffee from the sixth century to Starbucks that’s “good to the last sentence” (Las Cruces Sun News). One of Library Journal’s “Best Business Books” This updated edition of The Coffee Book is jammed full of facts, figures, cartoons, and commentary covering coffee from its first use in Ethiopia in the sixth century to the rise of Starbucks and the emergence of Fair Trade coffee in the twenty-first. The book explores the process of cultivation, harvesting, and roasting from bean to cup; surveys the social history of café society from the first coffeehouses in Constantinople to beatnik havens in Berkeley and Greenwich Village; and tells the dramatic tale of high-stakes international trade and speculation for a product that can make or break entire national economies. It also examines the industry’s major players, revealing the damage that’s been done to farmers, laborers, and the environment by mass cultivation—and explores the growing “conscious coffee” market. “Drawing on sources ranging from Molière and beatnik cartoonists to the Food and Agriculture Organization, the authors describe the beverage’s long and colorful rise to ubiquity.” —The Economist “Most stimulating.” —The Baltimore Sun

Delphi Collected Works of Gregory of Nazianzus (Illustrated)

By: Gregory of Nazianzus

Saint Gregory of Nazianzus was a fourth century Church Father, whose defense of the doctrine of the Trinity (God as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) made him one of the greatest champions of orthodoxy against Arianism. Following his death, as Gregory’s works circulated throughout the empire, they exacted a large influence on theological thought. In 451 he was designated as ‘Theologian’ by the Council of Chalcedon —a title held by no others, save John the Apostle and Symeon the New Theologian. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This eBook presents Gregory’s collected works, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1) * Beautifully illustrated with images relating to Gregory’s life and works * Features the collected works of Gregory, in both English translation and the original Greek * Concise introduction to the theologian * Includes translations previously appearing in the ‘Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers’, Second Series, 1894 * Excellent formatting of the texts * Easily locate the orations and letters you want to read with individual contents tables * Provides a selection of dual English and Greek texts, allowing readers to compare the sections paragraph by paragraph — ideal for students * Features two bonus biographies — discover Gregory’s ancient world CONTENTS: The Translations Brief Introduction: Gregory of Nazianzus Orations Letters The Greek Texts List of Greek Texts Selected Dual Texts Dual Greek and English Texts The Biographies Gregorius Nazianzenus (1911) by Henry Wace St. Gregory of Nazianzus (1913) by David Oswald Hunter Blair

The Dialogues of Saint Gregory, Surnamed the Great

Pope of Rome & the First of

By: St. Gregory the Great,Brother Hermenegild

The four books of Dialogues of Saint Gregory the Great, "concerning the life and miracles of the Italian Fathers and the eternity of souls," were written in 593, three years after his elevation to the papacy, at the request of certain monks of his household. "My brethren who dwell familiarly with me," writes Gregory to Maximianus, Bishop of Syracuse, "would have me by all means write something in brief fashion concerning the miracles of the Fathers, which we have heard wrought in Italy. For this purpose I earnestly need the help of your charity, that you should briefly inform me of all those which come back to your memory, or which you have happened yourself to know. For I remember that you related certain things, which I have forgotten, concerning the lord abbot Nonnosus, who lived near the lord Anastasius de Pentumis. I beseech you, therefore, to put down this, and whatever others there are, in your letters, and forward them to me with speed, unless you yourself are coming to me shortly." There is no other book that gives us so vivid a picture of religious life in Italy during the sixth century: the century that witnessed the brief epoch of Gothic domination the restoration of the imperial Byzantine power and finally the invasion of the Lombards, that "barbarous and cruel nation," writes Gregory, which, "drawn as a sword out of a sheath," wrought such unutterable havoc and devastation in the peninsula that many, with Bishop Redemptus, held verily that" the end of all flesh was come." It is the century that closed the period of classical civilisation, and ushered in that dreariest epoch in the history of mankind known as the Dark Ages. Inevitably, men turned from the spectacle of a world "fraught with so many miseries and divers afflictions," to prepare in the solitude of the cloister for the end which they deemed fast approaching, if it were not already come. They naturally sought eagerly to grasp such phenomena as seemed to them miraculous, as visible signs that God had not utterly abandoned His creation, and to find proofs that the soul, at least, was immortal, and might look forward to a better life hereafter by forgiveness of injuries, and by offering herself up before death as a sacrifice to Him that had made her. It is this that gives pathos even to the apparent triviality of some of the miracles that Gregory records, and deeper significance to the note on which the work ends. Three great figures illumine the general darkness of the sixth century in Italy: Boethius, the last philosopher of the classical world; Benedict, the organiser of western monasticism; and Gregory himself, the chief agent in the building up of the medieval ideal of the papacy.

Albl (religious studies, Presentation College, South Dakota) translates and comments extensively on the Greek text almost certainly written after 400 AD, shortly after Gregory died. He explains that it is part of a genre used by both Christians and Jews to argue a case by referring to scripture, and a subgenre seeking to define Christian identity a
