Strange Superstitions and Curious Customs of the Ancient World
Author: Alicia Chrysostomou
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781856354943
Category : Manners and customs
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
A compilation of the oddest, most eccentric and truly bizarre customs, laws and superstitions of our forefathers. The people of Cathay demanded such a huge level of respect by children towards their parents that a specific department of state existed solely to punish those upsetting their parents in any way! People through the ages have had their own particular customs and traditions and have always looked with some amusement on those of their neighbours. These customs can evolve and change radically, and traditions which were commonplace 2,000 years ago now appear bizarre or hilarious. This book transcends eras and cultures by uniting them with the common theme of superstition and custom, proving that perhaps we are not so fundamentally different from our most ancient ancestors, no matter how sophisticated we think ourselves.

Eat Not this Flesh
Author: Frederick J. Simoons
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299142544
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
Examines the use and avoidance of flesh foods, including beef, pork, chicken, and eggs, camel, dog, horse, and fish, from antiquity to the present day. Simoons finds that the recurrent theme of maintaining ritual purity, good health, and well-being underlies diet habits. He emphasizes that only a full range of factors can explain eating patterns, and stresses the interplay of religious, moral, hygienic, ecological, and economic factors in the context of human culture.
