Book Synopsis In the Shadow of the Sabertooth by : Doug Peacock
Download or read book In the Shadow of the Sabertooth written by Doug Peacock and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Doug Peacock, as ever, walks point for all of us. Not since Bill McKibben’s The End of Nature has a book of such import been presented to readers. Peacock’s intelligence defies measure. His is a beautiful, feral heart, always robust, relentless with its love and desire for the human race to survive, and be sculpted by the coming hard times: to learn a magnificent humility, even so late in the game. Doug Peacock’s mind is a marvel—there could be no more generous act than the writing of this book. It is a crowning achievement in a long career sent in service of beauty and the dignity of life."—Rick Bass, author of Why I Came West and The Lives of Rocks Our climate is changing fast. The future is uncertain, probably fiery, and likely terrifying. Yet shifting weather patterns have threatened humans before, right here in North America, when people first colonized this continent. About 15,000 years ago, the weather began to warm, melting the huge glaciers of the Late Pleistocene. In this brand new landscape, humans managed to adapt to unfamiliar habitats and dangerous creatures in the midst of a wildly fluctuating climate. What was it like to live with huge pack-hunting lions, saber-toothed cats, dire wolves, and gigantic short-faced bears, to hunt now extinct horses, camels, and mammoth? Are there lessons for modern people lingering along this ancient trail? The shifting weather patterns of today—what we call "global warming"—will far exceed anything our ancestors previously faced. Doug Peacock's latest narrative explores the full circle of climate change, from the death of the megafauna to the depletion of the ozone, in a deeply personal story that takes readers from Peacock's participation in an archeological dig for early Clovis remains in Livingston, MT, near his home, to the death of the local whitebark pine trees in the same region, as a result of changes in the migration pattern of pine beetles with the warming seasons. Writer and adventurer Doug Peacock has spent the past fifty years wandering the earth's wildest places, studying grizzly bears and advocating for the preservation of wilderness. He is the author of Grizzly Years; Baja; and Walking It Off and co-author of The Essential Grizzly. Peacock was named a 2007 Guggenheim Fellow, and a 2011 Lannan Fellow.

Book excerpt: From the Iron Age to the Industrial Revolution, the Romans to the Regency, few things have mirrored society or been affected by its upheavals as much as the food we eat and the way we prepare it. In this involving history of the British people, Kate Colquhoun celebrates every aspect of our cuisine from Anglo-Saxon feasts and Tudor banquets, through the skinning of eels and the invention of ice cream, to Dickensian dinner-party excess and the growth of frozen food. Taste tells a story as rich and diverse as a five-course dinner.

Book Synopsis Food Cultures of Great Britain by : Victoria R. Williams
Download or read book Food Cultures of Great Britain written by Victoria R. Williams and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's far more to British food than fish and chips. Discover the history and culture of Great Britain through its rich culinary traditions. Part of the Global Kitchen series, this book takes readers on a food tour of Great Britain, covering everything from daily staples to holiday specialties. In addition to discovering Great Britain's long culinary history, you'll learn about recent trends, foreign influences, and contemporary food and dietary concerns, such as obesity and the impacts of climate change. Chapters are organized thematically, making it easy to focus in on particular courses or types of dishes. The main text is supplemented by sidebars that offer interesting bite-sized facts, a chronology of important dates in British culinary history, and a glossary of key food- and dining-related terms. When people outside Great Britain think of British cuisine, they likely envision iconic foods and traditions such as fish and chips, a full English breakfast, and afternoon tea. But Great Britain has a much richer and more diverse culinary history. It has been shaped by a myriad of events, from invasions by the Romans, Vikings, and Normans to the emergence and expansion of the British Empire to the privations of World War II. In more recent times, Great Britain's departure from the European Union, the global Covid-19 pandemic, and Russia's invasion of Ukraine have all had a significant impact on the food landscape of Great Britain.

Book Synopsis Feasting and Fasting by : Dorothy Duncan
Download or read book Feasting and Fasting written by Dorothy Duncan and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2010-10-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feasting and Fasting is an introduction to the foods and beverages that were a central part of how our ancestors celebrated important events. Long before the arrival of newcomers, the First Nations were celebrating the passages of life, the changing seasons, and the gifts of the Great Spirit with feasting. As settlers from around the world arrived on Canadas shores, they brought with them the memories and traditions from home. Diverse and unique culinary histories began to develop as the newcomers were unable to find some of their traditional ingredients and were forced to compromise. Wild game, fruit, plants, grains, vegetables, and maple sugar were often transformed from survival foods to the foods of celebration. Food brought families and communities together to pay tribute, to honour, to celebrate, to mourn, and to be comforted. This is a sampling of their events and what was on their tables at births, weddings, funerals, religious holidays, garden parties, and more!

Book Synopsis The Oxford Companion to Food by : Alan Davidson
Download or read book The Oxford Companion to Food written by Alan Davidson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-09-21 with total page 1944 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Companion to Food by Alan Davidson, first published in 1999, became, almost overnight, an immense success, winning prizes and accolades around the world. Its combination of serious food history, culinary expertise, and entertaining serendipity, with each page offering an infinity of perspectives, was recognized as unique. The study of food and food history is a new discipline, but one that has developed exponentially in the last twenty years. There are now university departments, international societies, learned journals, and a wide-ranging literature exploring the meaning of food in the daily lives of people around the world, and seeking to introduce food and the process of nourishment into our understanding of almost every compartment of human life, whether politics, high culture, street life, agriculture, or life and death issues such as conflict and war. The great quality of this Companion is the way it includes both an exhaustive catalogue of the foods that nourish humankind - whether they be fruit from tropical forests, mosses scraped from adamantine granite in Siberian wastes, or body parts such as eyeballs and testicles - and a richly allusive commentary on the culture of food, whether expressed in literature and cookery books, or as dishes peculiar to a country or community. The new edition has not sought to dim the brilliance of Davidson's prose. Rather, it has updated to keep ahead of a fast-moving area, and has taken the opportunity to alert readers to new avenues in food studies.
