Dinner in Rome
With a celebrated food writer as host, a delectable history of Roman cuisine and the world—served one dish at a time. Now in paperback. “There is more history in a bowl of pasta than in the Colosseum,” writes Andreas Viestad in Dinner in Rome. From the table of a classic Roman restaurant, Viestad takes us on a fascinating culinary exploration of the Eternal City and global civilization. Food, he argues, is history’s secret driving force. Viestad finds deeper meanings in his meal: He uses the bread that begins his dinner to trace the origins of wheat and its role in Rome’s rise as well as its downfall. With his fried artichoke antipasto, he explains olive oil’s part in the religious conflict of sixteenth-century Europe. And, from his sorbet dessert, he recounts how lemons featured in the history of the Mafia in the nineteenth century and how the hunger for sugar fueled the slave trade. Viestad’s dinner may be local, but his story is universal. His “culinary archaeology” is an entertaining, flavorful journey across the dinner table and time. Readers will never look at spaghetti carbonara the same way again.
Reinventing the Wheel
"Reinventing the Wheel is equal parts popular science, history, and muckraking. Over the past hundred and fifty years, dairy farming and cheesemaking have been transformed, and this book explores what has been lost along the way. Today, using cutting-edge technologies like high-throughput DNA sequencing, scientists are beginning to understand the techniques of our great-grandparents. The authors describe how geneticists are helping conservationists rescue rare dairy cow breeds on the brink of extinction, microbiologists are teaching cheesemakers to nurture the naturally occurring microbes in their raw milk rather than destroying them, and communities of cheesemakers are producing "real" cheeses that reunite farming and flavor, rewarding diversity and sustainability at every level."--Provided by publisher.

The Gender of Things
The Gender of Things is a highly interdisciplinary book that explores the power relationship between gender and the material culture of technoscience, addressing a seemingly straightforward question: How does a thing—such as a spacesuit, a humanoid robot, or a surgical instrument—become a gendered object? These 14 short chapters cover an original selection of “things”: from cosmeceuticals to early motor scooters, from Scrum boards to border walls, and from robots to the human body and its parts. By historically examining how significance has been attached to specific things and how things were designed and produced, the chapters reveal how the concept of gender has been embedded and ...

This landmark encyclopedia is the most wide-ranging, comprehensive, and reliable reference work on cheese available.
Seeing the Animal Whole
"We conceive of the individual animal as a small world, existing for its own sake, by its own means. Every creature is its own reason to be. All its parts have a direct effect on one another, a relationship to one another, thereby constantly renewing the circle of life. Thus, we are justified in considering every animal physiologically perfect." --Goethe Every animal on earth has its own unique character --the slow sloth, the burrowing mole, the towering giraffe, the huge but flexible elephant. In vivid portrayals of nine different animals, Craig Holdrege shows how all of an animal's features are interconnected and reveal the animal as a whole. Moreover, every animal intersects with and infl...
Obiad w Rzymie. Historia świata w jednym posiłku
OBIAD W RZYMIE HISTORIA ŚWIATA W JEDNYM POSIŁKU Możemy dopatrzyć się więcej historii w kotlecie albo misce makaronu niż w Koloseum lub jakimkolwiek innym zabytku. Delektując się typowym rzymskim posiłkiem w tradycyjnej restauracji, Andreas Viestad zabiera nas w pasjonującą kulinarną podróż, danie po daniu, przez historię świata i historię Wiecznego Miasta. Dowiedz się, jak to możliwe, że spór o sposób pieczenia chleba przyczynił się do wielkiej schizmy w Kościele, miłość do masła stała się impulsem do powstania reformacji, a niedobór soli doprowadził do przegrania wojny secesyjnej, wybuchu Wielkiej Rewolucji Francuskiej i upadku brytyjskiego imperium kolonia...
