Summary

Ancient Food Trade explores how the exchange of food transformed ancient civilizations, shaping culinary traditions and laying the groundwork for today's global cuisines. It examines the origins and routes of ancient food trade, the impact on regional cuisines, and the social and economic effects of controlling essential food resources. Intriguingly, the book highlights how food systems are deeply intertwined with cultural identity and economic power. For example, the spice trade wasn't just about flavor; it often dictated political alliances and economic dominance. 

 
The book progresses by first establishing the fundamentals of ancient trade routes and agricultural practices. It then investigates the growth of trade networks in Mesopotamia, the Mediterranean, and East Asia, detailing the specific goods traded and their cultural impacts. It draws upon archaeological findings, ancient texts, and archaeobotanical studies to support its arguments.

 
 The book differentiates itself by integrating archaeological, textual, and scientific data to provide a comprehensive understanding of ancient food systems, offering a nuanced view beyond a simple list of traded goods.

    This book is an exploration of intentional listening as an essential skill for coaches. It introduces the Head, Heart, and Hands Listening model as a vital tool to amplify effective listening in coaching practice. 
 
 
 
Accessible and applicable, the book explores the three listening modalities of Head, Heart, and Hands as active, though largely unconscious, lenses that inform the potency of our listening. Dakin-Neal argues that once coaches identify "how" they listen, they can assist their clients in more targeted ways to positively impact their personal and professional lives. Chapters are divided into the three listening modalities, Head, Heart, and Hands, and are filled with case studies, stories, reflective questions, and exercises from the author's experience to help coaches strengthen their listening skills. The book also includes a comprehensive listening assessment for coaches to use in practice. 
 
 
 
This book is essential for coaches in practice and in training as well as organizational psychologists, HR professionals, and those working within corporations.
