Book Description
How do we engage with food through memory and imagination? This expansive volume spans time and space to illustrate how, through food, people have engaged with the past, the future, and their alternative presents. Beth M. Forrest and Greg de St. Maurice have brought together first-class contributions, from both established and up-and-coming scholars, to consider how imagination and memory intertwine and sometimes diverge. Chapters draw on cases around the world-including Iran, Italy, Japan, Kenya, and the US-and include topics such as national identity, food insecurity, and the phenomenon of knowledge. Contributions represent a range of disciplines, including anthropology, history, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. This volume is a veritable feast for the contemporary food studies scholar.

Book Description
For the first time, a graphic novel tells the story of humanity through the evolution of cuisine. From the discovery of fire to organic cooking, this book is aimed at all curious people and foodies. By the authors of Wine, A Graphic History.As soon as humans mastered fire, they invented cooking. Did you know that Sapiens invented steam cooking and freezing? That the Mesopotamians created soups, bread, beer, ovens? That gastronomy and tableware have been symbols of political power?These great discoveries changed the world, but also the way we eat. From America, the conquistadors brought spices, peppers, potatoes... Portuguese missionaries brought the frying technique to distant samurai who made the first tempuras. These are the beginnings of globalization.In the 19th century with the industrial revolution, “ capitalist” cuisine emerged: it was the beginning of the food industry. In the 21st century, the organic and buy local movements are shown as a reaction against the harmful effects of this culinary and gastronomic standardization.To finish in style, find twenty-two recipes for dishes mentioned throughout our story that you can make at home!

Book Description
The intent of his book is to improve the management and operation of the criminal justice systems through public awareness of the dark and corruptive insides of these massive systems. A major goal of his work is to improve the daily treatment of young incarcerated Americans, with the hope of preventing these young people from entering into the adult criminal justice system. Another goal is to improve the training for managers and administrators of these programs so that employees can be better selected, trained, and treated, and so that they can serve as better role models and supervisors for the youth of America. Most criminal misbehavior can be altered and turned in a positive direction, with decent personal treatment and adequate programs for their individual problems. To allow the continued mistreatment of these individuals is to throw away their future and the future of America. Chance has discovered a multitude of problems within these systems through his investigations, inquiries, and handling of thousands of complaints about the sexual abuse, mistreatment, neglect, and exploitation of both the inmates in these systems and the employees who work under unbearable conditions.--Odessa American.
