They also represent six eras that span the course of civilization--from the adoption of agriculture, to the birth of cities, to the advent of globalization. \u003ci\u003eA History of the World in 6 Glasses\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the twenty-first century through each epoch's signature refreshment. As Standage persuasively argues, each drink is in fact a kind of technology, advancing culture and catalyzing the intricate interplay of different societies.
