Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Love it except for factual errors - such as history of scurvy
I loved this book, but have come to the unhappy conclusion that some of the "facts" are false.
Page 109, history of scurvy as being related to sugar intake: "It was as if there had never been any explorers out there ahead of Queen Bess's men. How about the Vikings, the Phoenicians, and the sailors of the Far East?"
