(2) 4-6 Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. In a straightforward economic history, Kurlansky informs us that cod "played a central role in the history of North America and Europe." Cod provided both healthy food and a profitable commodity for explorers and settlers. By the mid-twentieth century, they became the backbone of the frozen fish industry. Schindler's humorous watercolors lend a light tone to the text. Sidebars present various methods of preparation. Bib.
