History has never been more fun—or more intoxicating.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nGuns, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nYou’ll learn how to:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n• Trip like a Greek philosopher.\u003cbr\u003e\n• Rave like your Stone Age ancestors.\u003cbr\u003e\n• Get drunk like a Sumerian.\u003cbr\u003e\n• Smoke a nose pipe like a pre–Columbian Native American.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n“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\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780147517609\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.0 x 5.3 x 1.0 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PLUME","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50123580145968,"sku":"Trans_9780147517609","price":1050.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91dDeDHJ12L.jpg?v=1757338030","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/a-brief-history-of-vice-how-bad-behavior-built-civilization","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
