Book Description
AZUCAR! The Story of Sugar is a fictional novel that offers a gripping testimony to the unmasked brutality and decay of daily life on a contemporary Caribbean sugarcane plantation, Esperanza Dulce. Azucar, the intelligent and beautiful young girl, is the central character, but the omnipresent protagonist is her namesake, "azucar" -- sugar itself. Azucar?s story is a complex and hauntingly atmospheric tale of sustained intrigue, murder, revenge, forbidden love, and an unnerving journey into the mystical spirit world of Caribbean ritual. Even after Azucar?s fiercely determined grandmother arranges for her to emigrate to Canada -- with a most unlikely couple-- where she is dramatically transformed, she is still not completely free from the hypnotic pull of the distant Caribbean plantation. Azucar meets and falls in love with Lucien, whose own mysterious history shockingly brings them both back to Esperanza Dulce to confront the terrifying ghosts of an unknowingly shared past.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Manufacture of Sugar From the Cane and Beet It has often been stated that the sugar producer can only be trained in the factory, theoretical knowledge being of little value. The aim of the present work is to show that successful practice is becoming more and more dependent on scientific principles, which can be studied more effectively outside the factory than inside. It is worth recording that the British cane-sugar producer followed the beet-sugar producer in adopting the following inventions and processes: - Bone-char and sulphur dioxide, for bleaching the juice; the Carbonatation Process, for purifying and clarifying the juice; the Diffusion Process, for extracting sugar from the plant; the filter press; the multiple-effect evaporator in vacuo; the vacuum pan; apparatus for crystallisation-in-motion; the use of "seed-grain" in the vacuum pan; the centrifugal machine for curing sugar; the centrifugal machine for clarifying juice; technical schools for the study of sugar-technology; and "chemical control" of manufacturing operations. The French cane-sugar industry led the way in systematic experiments in manuring of the cane; experiments on extraction of juice by milling; the invention of "shredders," to increase the mill-extraction;and the diffusion of sliced cane. The British cane-sugar producer is probably not aware that his "up-to-date" factory is borrowed from his rival, for he shows little or no interest in the problems of beet-sugar manufacture. The student of sugar-technology should have a wider outlook, and keep in touch with all branches of sugar-production, although he can only hope to specialise in one.

Book Description
A fascinating persuasive history of how sugar has shaped the world, from European colonies to our modern diets In this eye-opening study, Sidney Mintz shows how Europeans and Americans transformed sugar from a rare foreign luxury to a commonplace necessity of modern life, and how it changed the history of capitalism and industry. He discusses the production and consumption of sugar, and reveals how closely interwoven are sugar's origins as a "slave" crop grown in Europe's tropical colonies with is use first as an extravagant luxury for the aristocracy, then as a staple of the diet of the new industrial proletariat. Finally, he considers how sugar has altered work patterns, eating habits, and our diet in modern times. "Like sugar, Mintz is persuasive, and his detailed history is a real treat." -San Francisco Chronicle

Book Description
Excerpt from Foreign News on Sugar, 1927 The amount of sugar consumed annually in the'united States has increased by nearly short tons since 1909. The table on the following page shows the amount of sugar which became avail able for consumption in Continental United States in eaeh year since 1909. The table itself is self explanatory. The actual consump tion would differ from the amount available for consumption chiefly in the difference in stocks at the beginning and end of successive seasons.
