Book Synopsis Gamefowl Genetics by : Napoleon Nalcot
Download or read book Gamefowl Genetics written by Napoleon Nalcot and published by Napoleon Nalcot. This book was released on with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breeding gamefowls is a complex and intricate process that requires a solid understanding of the principles of genetics. You need to grasp how DNA works and how it determines the traits of your gamefowls. DNA is a molecule that stores the information for the development and function of living organisms. For instance, human DNA contains the instructions for all the characteristics of a person. Gamefowl DNA operates in a similar way. Genes are segments of DNA that code for specific traits. We learned about genes in school and how they are inherited from parents to offspring. Different breeding methods aim to manipulate the genes of gamefowls to produce desirable outcomes. However, breeding is not a random or arbitrary activity. It is a scientific and systematic approach that involves careful planning and prediction. You can experiment with different combinations of gamefowls, but you can only achieve success if you can anticipate the results with reasonable accuracy and minimize the risks. The purpose of this eBook is to educate the average gamefowl enthusiast, as well as the beginner breeder, on how to select gamefowls based on their genetic potential, how to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of different breeding methods, and how to apply the best breeding method for gamefowls according to the author’s opinion.
Book Synopsis Why Did the Chicken Cross the World? by : Andrew Lawler
Download or read book Why Did the Chicken Cross the World? written by Andrew Lawler and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-12-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veteran journalist Andrew Lawler delivers a “fascinating and delightful…globetrotting tour” (Wall Street Journal) with the animal that has been most crucial to the spread of civilization—the chicken. In a masterful combination of historical sleuthing and journalistic adventure, veteran reporter Andrew Lawler “opens a window on civilization, evolution, capitalism, and ethics” (New York) with a fascinating account of the most successful of all cross-species relationships—the partnership between human and chicken. This “splendid book full of obsessive travel and research in history” (Kirkus Reviews) explores how people through the ages embraced the chicken as a messenger of the gods, an all-purpose medicine, an emblem of resurrection, a powerful sex symbol, a gambling aid, a handy research tool, an inspiration for bravery, the epitome of evil, and, of course, the star of the world’s most famous joke. Queen Victoria was obsessed with the chicken. Socrates’s last words embraced it. Charles Darwin and Louis Pasteur used it for scientific breakthroughs. Religious leaders of all stripes have praised it. Now neuroscientists are uncovering signs of a deep intelligence that offers insights into human behavior. Trekking from the jungles of southeast Asia through the Middle East and beyond, Lawler discovers the secrets behind the fowl’s transformation from a shy, wild bird into an animal of astonishing versatility, capable of serving our species’ changing needs more than the horse, cow, or dog. The natural history of the chicken, and its role in entertainment, food history, and food politics, as well as the debate raging over animal welfare, comes to light in this “witty, conversational” (Booklist) volume.

Download or read book JELL-O Girls written by Allie Rowbottom and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A "gorgeous" (New York Times) memoir that braids the evolution of one of America's most iconic branding campaigns with the stirring tales of the women who lived behind its facade - told by the inheritor of their stories. In 1899, Allie Rowbottom's great-great-great-uncle bought the patent to Jell-O from its inventor for $450. The sale would turn out to be one of the most profitable business deals in American history, and the generations that followed enjoyed immense privilege - but they were also haunted by suicides, cancer, alcoholism, and mysterious ailments. More than 100 years after that deal was struck, Allie's mother Mary was diagnosed with the same incurable cancer, a disease that had also claimed her own mother's life. Determined to combat what she had come to consider the "Jell-O curse" and her looming mortality, Mary began obsessively researching her family's past, determined to understand the origins of her illness and the impact on her life of Jell-O and the traditional American values the company championed. Before she died in 2015, Mary began to send Allie boxes of her research and notes, in the hope that her daughter might write what she could not. Jell-O Girls is the liberation of that story. A gripping examination of the dark side of an iconic American product and a moving portrait of the women who lived in the shadow of its fractured fortune, Jell-O Girls is a family history, a feminist history, and a story of motherhood, love and loss. In crystalline prose Rowbottom considers the roots of trauma not only in her own family, but in the American psyche as well, ultimately weaving a story that is deeply personal, as well as deeply connected to the collective female experience.

Book Synopsis Tastes Like Chicken by : Emelyn Rude
Download or read book Tastes Like Chicken written by Emelyn Rude and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the domestication of the bird nearly ten thousand years ago to its current status as our go-to meat, the history of this seemingly commonplace bird is anything but ordinary. How did chicken achieve the culinary ubiquity it enjoys today? It’s hard to imagine, but there was a point in history, not terribly long ago, that individual people each consumed less than ten pounds of chicken per year. Today, those numbers are strikingly different: we consumer nearly twenty-five times as much chicken as our great-grandparents did. Collectively, Americans devour 73.1 million pounds of chicken in a day, close to 8.6 billion birds per year. How did chicken rise from near-invisibility to being in seemingly "every pot," as per Herbert Hoover's famous promise? Emelyn Rude explores this fascinating phenomenon in Tastes Like Chicken. With meticulous research, Rude details the ascendancy of chicken from its humble origins to its centrality on grocery store shelves and in restaurants and kitchens. Along the way, she reveals startling key points in its history, such as the moment it was first stuffed and roasted by the Romans, how the ancients’ obsession with cockfighting helped the animal reach Western Europe, and how slavery contributed to the ubiquity of fried chicken today. In the spirit of Mark Kurlansky’s Cod and Bee Wilson's Consider the Fork, Tastes Like Chicken is a fascinating, clever, and surprising discourse on one of America’s favorite foods.
