Sinopse

Fermentation Food History explores the fascinating world of fermented foods and their impact on cultures throughout history. It delves into how fermentation, a process driven by microorganisms, not only preserves food but also enhances its flavor and nutritional value. For example, fermentation increases the bioavailability of nutrients, making them easier for our bodies to absorb. The book uniquely blends scientific insights with historical narratives, revealing how cultural identity is deeply intertwined with these culinary practices.

 
The book progresses from explaining the microbiology of fermentation, demystifying the roles of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, to tracing the origins of foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and yogurt across different regions. It highlights how fermentation techniques have been adapted to local climates and resources, reflecting human ingenuity. It also addresses the modern resurgence of fermentation, driven by health trends and a growing awareness of the microbiome's importance, while exploring its potential in sustainable food systems.

 
Ultimately, this book argues that fermented foods are more than just culinary items; they represent a profound intersection of human innovation, microbial activity, and cultural heritage. By examining ancient recipes and contemporary research, Fermentation Food History offers readers a comprehensive understanding of how these foods connect food, health, and society.

Rethinking Rescue - Dog Lady and...

Carol Mithers

In Los Angeles's most underserved communities, Lori Weise is known as the Dog Lady, the woman who's spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them. Long before anyone else, Weise grasped that animal and human suffering are inextricably connected and created a new rescue narrative, an enduring safety net empowering pet owners and providing resources to reduce the number of pets coming into shelters. 
 
 
 
Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of America's Forgotten People and Pets unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between Weise's story and that of the US rescue movement: from the dog's twentieth-century transition from property to family to the rise of the no kill campaign to stop shelter euthanasia and the contradictions that hampered those efforts. Through captivating storytelling and investigative reporting, Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes often disregards pet owners in poverty. Weise's innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts revealed a better way. 
 
 
 
Rethinking Rescue boldly confronts two of the biggest challenges of our time—poverty and homelessness—in asking the very humane question, Who deserves the love of a pet?
