I was reading,
a book titled The Dragon Behind the Glass, and for myself it was a great read, from my post: 'for myself it is an amazing read, as I have met or know about so many of the 'main' players that are mentioned in the book, (and a couple left out but to be fair they were more African based), the book deals with a murder, which sounds strange in the peaceful, tranquil world of fishkeeping but it does happen', well keeping to a fish book theme I chanced upon this volume,
The Philosopher Fish : Sturgeon, Caviar, and the Geography of Desire, the author, Richard Adams Carey takes us from
the past, from the review: (the book), "traces the rise of the caviar industry and the
concomitant decline of the sturgeon. Caviar dates to at least the 13th century,
when a Mogol king dined on the eggs at a monastery, though in medieval Russia
caviar was not a luxury—even peasants ate the “blackberry jam of tiny globes", to the present day, it will be arriving hopefully soon, a book I am looking
forward to reading.
