  during an exclusive\, free book signing event of &ldquo\;EMPIRES OF FOOD:
  Feast\, Famine\, and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations&rdquo\;  with co-
 author Andrew Rimas. From 6:30PM to 8:00PM the BCAE will host an intimate 
 discussion with Rimas as he speaks about his second\, recently released bo
 ok. Afterwards guests will mix\, mingle and have a chance to get their pur
 chased book signed by the co-author as they enjoy complimentary hors d'oeu
 vres\, prepared by Executive Chef Matthew Molloy of Beacon Hill Hotel & Bi
 stro and wine from Gordon's Fine Wine & Liquors.  \n\n\n\n&ldquo\;EMPIRES 
 OF FOOD&rdquo\; is a sweeping global history of food and its trade. Using 
 the colorful diaries of a sixteenth-century merchant as a narrative guide\
 , &ldquo\;EMPIRES OF FOOD: Feast\, Famine\, and the Rise and Fall of Civil
 izations (Free Press\; June 15\, 2010\; $27.00)\,&rdquo\; written by agric
 ultural expert Evan D.G. Fraser and journalist Andrew Rimas\, vividly chro
 nicles the fate of people and societies for the past 12\,000 years through
  the foods they grew\, hunted\, traded\, and ate&mdash\;and gives fascinat
 ing\, and devastating\, insights into what to expect in years to come. \n
 \n\n\nFraser and Rimas argue that neither local food movements nor free ma
 rket economies will stave off the next food crash\, and they propose their
  own solutions. A fascinating\, fresh history told through the prism of th
 e dining table\, &ldquo\;EMPIRES OF FOOD&rdquo\; offers a grand scope and 
 a provocative analysis of the world today\, indispensible in this time of 
 global warming and food crises.\n\n\n\nJoin the Boston Center for Adult Ed
 ucation and Andrew Rimas as he discusses the relationship between climate 
 change and food prices\, obesity and starvation\, gluttony and food shorta
 ges\, and sustainability during Boston's exclusive book signing event.
