Beschreibung

'Ease of Chopsticks' presents a fascinating exploration of how these simple eating implements profoundly shaped Asian culture, cuisine, and society over thousands of years. From their humble beginnings as cooking tools in ancient China around 1200 BCE to their evolution into sophisticated dining instruments, chopsticks have played a crucial role in developing distinctive culinary traditions and social customs across East and Southeast Asia.The book weaves together archaeological evidence, historical documents, and anthropological studies to demonstrate how chopsticks influenced everything from food preparation methods to social hierarchies. Particularly intriguing is how these utensils led to the development of bite-sized dishes and specific cutting techniques that now characterize Asian cuisine. The use of different materials - from simple bamboo to elaborate gold-inlaid designs - reflected social status and technological capabilities of various cultures and time periods.Through four main sections covering origins, cultural diffusion, social implications, and modern significance, the book presents a comprehensive analysis of chopsticks' impact on human behavior and cultural development. Drawing from diverse sources, including Tang Dynasty tomb discoveries and medieval Japanese etiquette guides, the work offers readers a unique perspective on how a seemingly simple tool has shaped human society. This interdisciplinary approach, combining archaeology, anthropology, and materials science, provides valuable insights for both scholars and general readers interested in food history and Asian cultural studies.

Dear White Peacemakers -...

Osheta Moore

Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God’s beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries.   Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires white people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to white Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling. Rooted in the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus, this book is a challenging call to transform white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege, in order to work together to build the Beloved Community as anti-racism peacemakers.   Written in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Dear White Peacemakers draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Spirituals, and personal stories from author Osheta Moore’s work as a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota. Enter into this story of shalom and join in the urgent work of anti-racism peacemaking.

No Greater Love - The Story of...

Kevin Ferris, John A. Siegfried

The story of Philadelphia's only Medal of Honor recipient from the Vietnam War told here for the first timeMichael Crescenz grew up in one of Philadelphia’s booming post-war Catholic neighborhoods, distinguishing himself early on as a leader, brother and friend who fearlessly rose to the defense of others in need. The second of six sons born to a World War II veteran, Michael was known for his big smile, athletic abilities, toughness and fierce competitive spirit. Growing up, Michael’s world revolved around his family, parish, local playgrounds, and the bustling Catholic schools he attended from first grade through high school graduation. All these influences shaped the man he would become – the one who felt a sense of duty to serve his country and enlisted in the U.S. Army to do his part during the Vietnam War. He was in Vietnam barely two months when his unit, the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry, was sent into battle against deeply entrenched enemy forces on Nui Chom Mountain, the fortress in the clouds tucked away in the far northwest corner of South Vietnam near the borders with North Vietnam and Laos. Commanders knew they were in for a fight, but didn’t know the enemy had more than 250 machine gun bunkers deployed along the mountain’s slopes. On November 20, 1968, Alpha Company was ambushed on the wet jungle mountainside, the NVA taking down the two men up front and pinning down the rest with relentless fire. Thinking first of the danger to those around him, Private First Class Michael J. Crescenz picked up an M60 machine gun and charged the enemy bunkers. He did not survive but his actions saved the lives of his fellow soldiers and allowed them to advance and ultimately prevail. For his valor and sacrifice, Michael was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. No Greater Love tells this story from the perspective of those who loved Michael Crescenz most, close friends, family, Michael’s commanding officer in Vietnam, retired Lieutenant General Sam Wetzel, and medic William “Doc” Stafford, the soldier closest to Michael when he was cut down by enemy fire and who believes to this day that he survived Nui Chom only because of the selfless actions of Private First Class Crescenz.

Teotihuacan and Cholula: The...

Editors Charles River

Although Teotihuacan reached the height of its power and influence about 1500 years ago, the city is still an endless topic of fascination and debate, in addition to being Mexico’s most toured archaeological site. The origins of the city remain mysterious (as do the city’s founders), and scholars are still coming up with theories to explain the city’s demise. All the while, later Mesoamerican civilizations remembered Teotihuacan, and the Aztec even considered the city’s ruins a site of worship. 
Cholula is one of the most interesting, enigmatic, and forgotten cities in ancient Mesoamerica, and few people are aware that it is the oldest continuously-occupied settlement in the entire Western hemisphere. The current city is known for the Great Pyramid, which has the largest base of all pyramids in the world, as well as its many colonial churches and constant religious celebrations. All of these things ensure that Cholula is heavily visited, but the tremendous importance of Prehispanic Cholula has mostly been lost in the historical accounts of Puebla and even Mexico as a whole. 
During the height of Teotihuacan’s influence in the Classic period and the expansion of the Aztecs in the Postclassic, Cholula managed to maintain its independence and grew to become the greatest religious center in central Mesoamerica. As the main site for the cult of the god Quetzalcoatl, Cholula received pilgrims from many Prehispanic cities, and the two high priests of the Temple of Quetzalcoatl were charged with confirming the legitimacy of these foreign rulers, making their role one of the most important in the region. Most sources note that Cholula was a great religious center with a large pyramid, and that it was the site of a terrible massacre perpetrated by the Spanish, but other than that those details, the impressive city remains mostly unknown.

Woke Is Dead: How common sense...

Piers Morgan

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
Piers Morgan welcomes the return of a common-sense world
They claimed it was a movement that would change society forever. Instead, it's been buried six feet under by common sense.
For a decade, “woke” infected every corner of our lives. Cancel culture ran riot. Men became toxic. Virtue signalling was everywhere. And if you dared disagree? You'd be terminated on the spot.
But then something extraordinary happened. All over the world, people woke up.
In this explosive and uproarious takedown, Piers Morgan charts the spectacular collapse of the most ridiculous ideology in human history. With his trademark wit and fearless honesty, he exposes the hypocrites, destroys the myths, and celebrates the heroes who refused to surrender to the woke brigade.
Inside, Morgan takes aim at the madness wherever it's hiding and calls out the absurdity with humour, logic, and outrage. He pulls no punches as he tackles:Hollywood hypocrisy – when celebrity virtue-signaling became it's own performanceEnviron-mentalists – how saving the planet turned into shouting about plastic strawsGo Woke, Go Broke – from brand deals to the price of moral posturingWord Police – the battle over language and what you can and can't sayAnd much more
But this isn't just about pointing and laughing at the wreckage. With his unique blend of savage humour and surprising wisdom, Morgan offers a roadmap for navigating our post-woke world and a less divided, more sensible society.
Woke is Dead is the provocative, hilarious and essential read for anyone who wants to understand how an entire civilisation briefly lost its mind.
Piers Morgan's Woke is Dead is a Sunday Times bestselling book that offers a scathing critique of the woke movement. This latest political commentary is a compelling blend of autobiography, social activism critique, and personal growth, making it a top-rated non-fiction book.
For fans of Tina Brown (The Palace Papers), Sheila Hancock (Old Rage), Michael A. Ashcroft (Red Knight), Richard E. Grant (A Pocketful of Happiness), and Anne Glenconner (Whatever Next?).
