Sinopse

"Tomato Global Spread" unveils the captivating story of how the tomato, initially met with skepticism in Europe, transformed into a global culinary icon. Originating in South America, this fruit's journey highlights the intricate interplay of cultural adaptation, culinary innovation, and economic incentives that shaped its worldwide acceptance. One intriguing aspect is how the tomato, once viewed with suspicion due to its relation to poisonous plants, became a cornerstone of Mediterranean cuisine, particularly in Italy and Spain.

 
 The book meticulously traces the tomato's path across continents, detailing its integration into Asian cuisines like Indian curries and Southeast Asian sauces. This exploration sheds light on the broader themes of globalization and cultural exchange, emphasizing how food shapes and reflects societal values. Through historical texts, cookbooks, and anthropological studies, "Tomato Global Spread" provides a comprehensive understanding of the tomato's impact, progressing from its origins to its modern-day ubiquity, while also addressing modern controversies.

    In 1839, two years after graduating from Harvard, Henry David Thoreau and his older brother, John, took a boat-and-hiking trip from Concord, Massachusetts, to the White Mountains of New Hampshire. After John’s sudden death in 1842, Thoreau began to prepare a memorial account of their excursion during his stay at Walden Pond. Modern readers have come to see Thoreau’s story of the river journey as an appropriate predecessor to Walden, depicting the early years of his spiritual and artistic growth. 
    “Just as the current of the stream bears along the boat with Thoreau and his brother, so the current of ideas in his mind bears along the reader by evoking the joy and nostalgia that Thoreau feels for those lost, golden days. As Thoreau says, human life is very much like a river running always downward to the sea, and in this book we enter for a moment the flow of Thoreau’s unique existence.”—Masterplots

    Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
     
     
     
    Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
     
     
     
    Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.
