Sinopse

Thai Food Culture explores how Thai cuisine reflects cultural values and shapes social interactions. Going beyond mere recipes, the book reveals that Thai food is a vital form of social communication, reinforcing identity and fostering community. For example, the emphasis on balance in flavors mirrors the importance of social harmony. Also examined is the role of street food in urban life, and the significance of food offerings in religious rituals. The book uses an anthropological lens, focusing on the social and cultural meanings embedded within Thai food. This approach offers a fresh perspective on a well-known cuisine, providing insight into social eating practices and culinary traditions. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, interviews, and historical documents, the study progresses from an overview of Thai history and society to specific aspects of Thai cuisine. The book culminates by examining the impact of globalization and how traditions are evolving in the 21st century.

Why It's OK to Eat Meat - cover

Why It's OK to Eat Meat

Dan C. Shahar

In Why It's OK to Eat Meat, Dan C. Shahar argues the answer is no: it's entirely possible to be an ethical person while continuing to eat meat—and not just the "fancy" offerings from the farmers' market but also the regular meat we find at most supermarkets and restaurants. Shahar's examination forcefully echoes vegetarians' concerns about the meat industry's impacts on animals, workers, the environment, and public health. However, he shows that the most influential ethical arguments for avoiding meat on the basis of these considerations are ultimately unpersuasive. Instead of insisting we all become vegetarians, Shahar argues each of us has broad latitude to choose which of the world's problems to tackle.

Love Sexuality and Matriarchy - About Gender - cover

Love Sexuality and Matriarchy -...

Erich Fromm

"[A] fascinating collection of essays" on the complicated relations between men and women from the New York Times–bestselling author of The Art of Loving (The New York Times Book Review). 
 
 
  
The renowned social psychologist delves deep into the fraught relationship between genders, drawing upon the influential insights of Bachofen, Freud, Marx, and Briffault. Not primarily interested in the existence of anatomical and biological differences between the sexes, Fromm instead analyzes how these differences have been made use of throughout human history. Drawing from Bachofen's Mother Right, Fromm expounds on how matriarchal and patriarchal social structures determine relations between the sexes in essential ways, and how they are shaped by the dominant orientation of the social character at any given time. He posits that the most important question concerning gender relations is which characterological orientation determines human relationships: love or hate, love of life or fascination with force. Thus, it will not be gender conflict that will determine humanity's future but whether we opt for love of life or love of death.

Peak Human - What We Can Learn...

All golden ages are marked by periods of spectacular cultural flourishing, scientific exploration, technological achievement and economic growth; yet no two are the same. Their beliefs, societies and place in the wider world all vary. Despite this, all previous golden ages have ended, whether it be because of external pressures or internal fracturing; too much hubris or too little wariness. 
 
Looking at seven of humanity's greatest civilisations - ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song C hina, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere - historian and commentator Johan Norberg seeks to distil their strengths and shortcomings in answering the question: how do we ensure that our current golden age doesn't end? 
 
As insightful as it is riveting, Peak Human is at once a paean to our incredible progress and a warning that we cannot afford to be complacent.
