  Did you know that Egyptians mummified beef ribs for their dearly departed to enjoy in the afterlife? That Roman gladiators were relegated to a vegan diet of grains and beans? That the fast-food hamburger was a result of a postwar, high-efficiency work ethic? This is not a cookbook; instead, How Would You Like Your Mammoth? is a chronological journey through the culinary history of humankind, with fifty short, snackable essays packed to the brim with juicy tidbits and cultural insights. With author Uta Seeburg as your guide, you'll learn not only which dishes are linked to key cultural moments, but also how each represents the social hierarchy and values of the civilization that invented it. 
   
  Discover how and why: the Columbian exchange gave Indian curry its spicy kick; roasted swan became the centerpiece of choice in spectacle-loving 1650s high society; a Portuguese princess helped popularize tea in England; the first dish ever to be prepared live on television was an omelet; and much more. 
   
  Foodies and history buffs alike will savor every amusing yet educational historical snapshot, from one of the oldest recorded recipes (lamb stew with barley and onions) to out-of-this-world food fit for astronauts (dehydrated chicken soup just like mom used to make).

  New Grub Street by George Gissing is a compelling exploration of the literary world and the struggles of writers in late 19th-century London. The novel contrasts two authors: Edwin Reardon, a talented but impoverished novelist who values artistic integrity, and Jasper Milvain, an ambitious opportunist who prioritizes commercial success. As they navigate the harsh realities of the publishing industry, Reardon’s dedication to his craft leaves him financially ruined and emotionally broken, while Milvain’s pragmatic approach propels him to fame and fortune. Gissing critiques the commodification of art, the sacrifices demanded by poverty, and the moral compromises of ambition. Through its vivid characters and unflinching portrayal of societal pressures, New Grub Street examines the tension between art and commerce, offering a poignant reflection on the cost of creativity in a materialistic world. A timeless classic, it resonates with anyone who has grappled with the pursuit of success versus staying true to one’s ideals.
