A Brief History Of Vice (9780147517609)



A celebration of the brave, drunken pioneers who built our civilization one seemingly bad decision at a time, A Brief History of Vice explores 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. Cracked editor 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. And Evans goes deeper than simply writing about ancient debauchery; he recreates some of history's most enjoyable (and most painful) vices and includes guides so you can follow along at home. 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 of John Dies at the End

World War III and the Uncivil War have left the city of Richmond devastated, and the United States is not much better. Homeland Security is the only entity left between order and chaos, and Christopher Evans holds a coveted position as a Homeland Security agent with all the perks that accompany government service. But Chris' chosen life is soon to be upset in ways he would never have expected: he is assigned to a mission that has little chance of success with a partner he does like and does not trust - a mission that will force him to leave the only life he knows. It could not get much worse than this, he thinks. But he is wrong. This tale may not be suitable for young readers. Product details Format Paperback | 390 pages ...
