Synopsis

Bread Baking Roots explores the fascinating culinary history of flatbread, revealing its pivotal role in ancient civilizations and its enduring importance in family traditions. From the Neolithic Revolution, which enabled grain cultivation, to its central place in Mesopotamian, Egyptian, and Levantine societies, flatbread wasn't just food. It was a cultural touchstone, deeply embedded in rituals and daily life. The book uniquely positions flatbread as a tangible link connecting modern families to their ancestral past, demonstrating how it evolved from basic sustenance to a powerful symbol of heritage and love.

The book delves into archaeological findings, ancient texts, and ethnographic studies to uncover flatbread's story. Did you know that analyzing ancient grains and art provides insights into early baking techniques? Or that comparative studies of flatbread recipes reveal cross-cultural connections?

Organized into three parts, the book begins by introducing flatbread as a cultural artifact, then examines specific ancient cultures and their baking traditions, and concludes by showcasing flatbread's continuing role in families worldwide through case studies and personal narratives. Bread Baking Roots adopts a narrative non-fiction style, blending scholarly research with engaging storytelling. By connecting archaeology, anthropology, and sociology, the book illuminates how food shapes identity and fosters community. It demonstrates how a simple food connects us to ancient cultures and our own family's cultural heritage.

Turkish War of Independence The:...

Editors Charles River

The fall of the Ottoman Empire set the political and geostrategic scene of the new Middle East. In 1920, two years after the end of the war, the region was already experiencing growing instability. The issues and trends that would plague the region until today were growing. On April 4, Arab riots broke out in Jerusalem, fueled by the growing hostility against the Zionist movement. The British passivity would convince one of the Jewish leaders, Vladimir Jabotinsky (the future founder of the Israeli right-wing), of the strategic necessity of a strong Jewish military as the core of the future state.
Just two weeks later in Turkey, the Grand National Assembly in Ankara set the foundation of the Turkish state, opening the way for several years of reforms. In Iraq, a Shiite revolt broke out in the south, as locals demanded the creation of an Islamic state. The British compromise was to place Faisal, the son of Sharif Hussein and a Sunni, on the throne. His father, meanwhile, was embroiled in a conflict with a local tribe, the Ibn Saud, that sought to carve a new kingdom in the Arabian Peninsula.
As this makes clear, the collapse of the Ottoman Empire entirely altered the imperial complexion of the world, leaving a vacuum in the midst of which the surviving imperial powers felt obligated to secure and protect their strategic interests. More broadly, the long decline of the “sick man of Europe” fostered the emergence of nationalistic and ideological movements that are still key to any understanding of the Middle East today. The compatibility between the Islamic religion and culture and Western reforms were first discussed within the Ottoman Empire, and they are still up for debate today. Abdul Hamid’s pan-Islamism, while its results at the time remain limited, still resonates within the Muslim world and can still be seen as a viable rival to the region’s various nationalistic aspirations.

Lincoln vs Davis - The Rival...

John Vance

On a spring morning in 1861, two men from the same border-state soil — one raised in a log cabin, the other on a cotton plantation — took command of a nation tearing itself apart. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis had almost nothing in common except the size of the burden now on their shoulders. 
Lincoln vs Davis tells the Civil War as it was actually fought: not as one story, but as two. Chapter by chapter, this parallel history moves between the White House and the Confederate capitol, tracing how a self-taught rail-splitter and a West Point-trained statesman each tried to hold a country together — one by force of union, the other by force of secession — and how their choices in Washington and Richmond decided the fate of a continent. 
This is the war told from both head offices at once: the strategy, the politics, the family losses, and the single irreversible spring in 1865 when one man's fight ended in triumph and the other's in flight.
