The earliest historical record of makeup comes from the 1st Dynasty of Egypt (c.3100-2907 BC). Romans widely used cosmetics by the middle of the 1st century AD. Makeup helps people, most of women, more beautiful and more confident in their meetings, but few know that it truly flourished in the 1920s. The newly emancipated woman of America began to display her independence by free use of red lipstick, which was often scented with cherry.

From mangosteen fruit discovered in a colonial Indonesian marketplace to caviar served on the high seas in a cruise-liner's luxurious dining saloon, The Food Adventurers narrates the history of eating on the most coveted of tourist journeys: the around-the-world adventure. The book looks at what tourists ate on these adventures, as well as what they avoided, and what kinds of meals they described in diaries, photographs and postcards. Daniel E. Bender shows how circumglobal travel shaped popular fascination with world cuisines, and leads readers on a culinary tour from Tahitian roast pig in the 1840s, to the dining saloon of the luxury Cunard steamer Franconia in the 1920s, to InterContinental and Hilton hotel restaurants in the 1960s and '70s. 46 illustrations
