Annotation: Everything you ever wanted to know about everybody’s favorite food: chocolate, from its history, to the different types of chocolate, to how it is grown and made into delectable treats. This factual “atlas of chocolate” includes historical-style woodcuts, labels from old-time and modern candy boxes, photographs, diagrams, and maps. The side-bars and –boxes contain intriguing factoids, such as how Hershey Bars became famous. In addition to a several-page description of the process of factory-made chocolate bars, there is a recipe for home-made hot chocolate. A glossary of words highlighted in the text and the index would aid any researcher.
Rationale: While a beginning or pre-reader might enjoy the pictures and diagrams, this is really a book for the intermediate to advanced reader. It is factual and informative, thus useful for writing and presenting reports, or as a good non-fiction read.
