Read the following text, which is a review of Augustine Sedgewick's book Coffeeland: One Man's Dark Empire and the Making of Our Favourite Drug. The review was published in The New York Times. How Coffee Ruined a Country In 1889, 18-year-old James Hill disembarked in El Salvador to sell textiles from Manchester, England, and wound up bringing the industrial mentality of his native city to coffee cultivation in his adopted country. Content removed due to copyright restrictions. Sedgewick's satisfying brew made me thirstier for an even bolder blend.
