Sinossi

Food Culture Roots explores the fascinating link between culinary traditions and national identity, arguing that what we eat profoundly shapes who we are. The book investigates how specific dishes and culinary practices evolve into symbols of national heritage and collective memory. For instance, the book highlights the evolution of iconic dishes and their social contexts, demonstrating how they become symbolic representations of national heritage. It uses an interdisciplinary approach blending history, anthropology, and sociology to uncover the cultural narratives within our foodways, showing that food acts as a cultural unifier within nations and a marker of distinction between them. The book addresses the impact of globalization on national cuisines, examining culinary fusion and food tourism. It also acknowledges that food traditions are not static but dynamic, constantly evolving to reflect social, economic, and political changes. The book is structured in three parts, beginning with a theoretical framework, then case studies of national cuisines like Italian, Mexican, and Japanese, and concluding with the effects of globalization. It provides a valuable perspective on the evolving influence of food on national identities.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD 
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
  
FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY QUENTIN TARANTINO 
  
CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
  
ABOUT THE FILM 
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is a 2019 film directed by Quentin Tarantino. Set in 1969 Los Angeles, it follows Rick Dalton, a fading TV star, and his loyal stunt double, Cliff Booth, as they navigate the rapidly changing Hollywood landscape. The story intertwines their lives with that of Sharon Tate, a rising star, and the looming influence of the Manson Family. The film blends nostalgia for the golden age of Hollywood with dark satire, exploring themes of friendship, fame, and the shifting nature of the entertainment industry, all within Tarantino's trademark mix of humor and tension. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Brad Pitt improvised the line, "You're Rick fucking Dalton! Don't you forget that." He based this on advice he received from an actor during the early 1990s.” 
  
“The film's producers faced challenges when trying to convince Hollywood Boulevard vendors to allow them to fit their storefronts with 1960s-style facades. Surprisingly, after filming concluded, many of the vendors asked if they could leave the period facades in place, as they had grown to prefer the vintage look.” 
  
“Margot Robbie, who plays Sharon Tate, wore some of Sharon Tate's actual jewelry, which was lent to her by Tate’s sister, Debra Tate.”

Blissful Thinking - A Memoir of...

L.L. Kirchner

Never give up, especially on yourself. 
In L.L. Kirchner’s Pushcart-nominated memoir of “resistance and surrender… [the author’s] voice is humble and self-aware” (Kirkus Reviews) as she undertakes a desperate post-divorce search for nirvana, leaving behind university halls in the Persian Gulf for the streets of Manhattan and, ultimately, a sex cult in India. 
Between the gym her family owned and the years she’d spent in substance abuse recovery, Kirchner believed she was grounded in all things wellness. But after a tumultuous year in Qatar, which included the discovery that she'd never have children, her husband demanded a divorce. Over the telephone. 
Fearing a return to her substance use disorder, she tries to regain trust in the universe through yoga, meditation, chanting, boyfriends, more yoga… Each brings some relief, but her painful family dynamics remain unresolved. Until illness forces her to reckon with the gift her mother had always given her—hope. 
In a memoir that’s both rapturous and page-turning, Kirchner captures the terrors and joys of searching for radical honesty — and a second date. 
What people are saying about Blissful Thinking:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book felt like a friend cozying up to me and telling her stories of exploration and loss with humor and vulnerability. -Goodreads Review

“In both the standard and special edition versions, the fifteen-minute countdown at the film's climax is exactly fifteen minutes long.” 
  
“A deleted scene shows Ripley's daughter's portrait, which features Elizabeth Inglis, Sigourney Weaver's real-life mother. This scene was restored in the director's cut.”

Rowing Into The Son

Jordan Hanssen

A Daring True Story"Truly an epic of adventure and perseverance, this is great inspiration for anyone who thinks of someday tackling the impossible" -- New York Times best-selling author Clive CusslerOn June 10, 2006, four college friends stepped into a 29-foot rowboat as the only American competitors in the first North Atlantic Rowing Race.From the initial idea and chaotic race planning to heaving through cold ocean swells, author and lead rower Jordan Hansen takes us along as the crew heads out from New York Harbor, racing against three other teams; catches theelusive Gulf Stream current; and makes the final dramatic push for the finish line off the coast of England. Hurricane-level winds, giant ocean eddies, passing freighters, and sharks are all elements of the journey, while the tension on board comes to a head on Day 17-with another 55 days to go when the crew realizes their supplies are running out and they must drastically ration their food.The race is set against the backdrop of Jordan's own reflections on both his biological father, who passed away many years earlier, and his stepfather. Combined with the details of how he and his teammates cope within the confines of their tiny boat, and their determination to push their limits, it creates a remarkable coming-of-age story- and an intimate account full of thrilling adventure and compelling emotion."A beautiful sense of place and a compelling portrait of four men locked in an epic struggle with the ocean and, occasionally; with themselves. Gripping."-Roz Savage, first woman to row three oceans and author of ‘Rowing the Atlantic’“Too often in our lives we are told what we cannot do. Hanssen's story deftly accomplishes the opposite. It might not catapult you into a rowboat, but be warned; you may be enticed to alter course."-Jill Fredston, author of Rowing to Latitude
