  What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. 
   
   
    
  From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces listeners to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. 
   
   
    
  Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.

  Fortress London: Why we need to...

  A vividly written and timely polemic tackling the burning injustices shaping British society today. 
  ‘Intelligently written and powerfully argued.’ Paul Mason 
  ‘Witty, scathing, and entertaining.’ Danny Dorling 
  Journalist Sam Bright is a Northerner living in London. He is just one of the millions of people clinging on to the coattails of the capital, sucked in by the prospect of opportunities that the rest of the United Kingdom does not enjoy. 
  Our capital is a vast melting pot of languages, cultures, and ideas, and rightly celebrated for it. For many, though, there is no other option. The only place to access the opportunities this country offers is London. Banking, law, politics, advertising, architecture, the arts and the media are all concentrated here. It is almost impossible to reach the heights of any profession without joining the grey hoards queuing for the next tube. As the economic, political, and cultural epicentre of the country, Fortress London acts more like a renaissance city-state like Florence or Venice than the capital of a modern nation-state. And the gluttony of London, compared to the malnourishment of our regions, dramatically affects life chances in Britain. 
  Fortress London argues that to address Britain’s manifold problems, we need first to end the hegemony of its capital. Enriched by a vast array of interviews and statistics, it will examine how our individual destinies, from childhood to death, are determined by the disproportionate power of London. It will explain why regional inequality has fallen off the Left’s radar, even as the Right pays lip service to it, and it will draw on international comparisons to show where we have gone wrong and, crucially, how we can fix it. 
  Sam Bright’s clear-eyed intervention will convince you that regional inequality is the problem — and that now is the time for change. 
  Featuring exclusive interviews with: Andy Burnham, Lisa Nandy, Steve Rotheram, Aditya Chakrabortty, David Blunkett, Jess Phillips, Andrew Adonis and more… 
  In Fortress London, Sam Bright masterfully delves into the science of social disparity and the geography of opportunity, painting a vivid picture of a city that is both a beacon of hope and a fortress of inequality. The book is a top pick for anyone interested in public affairs, policy planning, and the human cost of regional inequality. 
  For fans of James O'Brien (How They Broke Britain), Chris Bryant (James and John), Grace Blakeley (Vulture Capitalism), Ian Dunt (Conspiracy Theory), and Rory Stewart (Middleland).

  Living without Psychology - A...

  Career, love, security, family, country, social cause, reform, revolution, ideology, entertainment, self-reinvention, pursuit of the unknown. Have you ever noticed how these things shape the years and decades not only of our own lives but of humanity, right through old age, regardless of demographic, cultural, and professional differences? Have you ever noticed how all of us - the living, the ancestors and posterity - tread the exact same path across time, from generation to generation, century to century, without ever getting past that one common denominator: our own self-interest? And, what kind of society have we built around our self-interests? Not only are we not profoundly better people but we have also destroyed each other and the world.  
  Long with me, dear friend, to go beyond our self-centered psychological needs, including righteous ones as self-awareness and self-actualization, and to tap into what undoubtedly is the calling of our time: co-operation. At this critical juncture in human history, let us find out what it takes to bring about a level of co-operation unknown to humanity - in allfields including relationship, academia, diet, and environmental change - without which the world stands no chance. 
  This is not a spiritual self-help book but an invitation to free oneself from psychology, in all its traditional and modern forms, so that a new world is built right in the heart of our highly destructive society.
