Beans: A History

Title: Beans: A History
Author: Ken Albala
Description: A not-too-long book on the history of beans. However, I am skeptical on how reliable it is, considering that the author mis-quotes the Bible and adds his own interpretations. It is an entertaining read, but I couldn't finish it. (see warnings below)
Warnings: First, the author mis-quotes the Bible, saying that Absalom was David's brother and that God made Ezekiel eat unclean bread. If you can't even get the Bible straight, how can I trust that your other information was correct?
Second, this book was crude. I know it's about beans, but do you have to talk so much about gas?
Third, I don't feel comfortable saying. 1/3 through the book I closed it for good. If you're an adult, maybe it would be fine, but I don't think anyone should think or talk about those things he mentioned.

Final Advice: Don't read this book. Don't let it's innocent bean jar cover fool you.
