Paperback. Zustand: Good. A celebration of the brave, drunken pioneers who built our civilization one seemingly bad decision at a time,A Brief History of Viceexplores a side of the past that mainstream history books prefer to hide.History has never been more fun-or more intoxicating. Guns, germs, and steel might have transformed us from hunter-gatherers into modern man, but booze, sex, trash talk, and tripping built our civilization.Crackededitor Robert Evans brings his signature dogged research and lively insight to uncover the many and magnificent ways vice has influenced history, from the prostitute-turned-empress who scored a major victory for women's rights to the beer that helped create-and destroy-South America's first empire.

You'll learn how to: .Trip like a Greek philosopher. .Rave like your Stone Age ancestors. .Get drunk like a Sumerian. .Smoke a nose pipe like a pre-Columbian Native American. "Mixing science, humor, and grossly irresponsible self-experimentation, Evans paints a vivid picture of how bad habits built the world we know and love."-David Wong, author ofJohn Dies at the End. …
