Sinossi

"Farming Method History: A Global Odyssey of Agricultural Innovation" explores the transformative journey of human societies from hunter-gatherers to agricultural masters. This comprehensive book examines the origins of agriculture, the evolution of farming technologies, and the global spread of agricultural practices, highlighting their profound impact on human civilization and the planet's ecology.

 
The book presents a truly global perspective, moving beyond Eurocentric narratives to offer equal weight to developments in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. It traces the progression of farming methods from simple hand tools to complex irrigation systems and mechanized equipment, drawing on archaeological findings, historical records, and genetic research.

 
Readers will discover intriguing insights into how changing environmental conditions influenced farming practices and how agricultural surpluses led to trade and social specialization. Throughout its three main sections, the book maintains an accessible yet scholarly tone, balancing academic rigor with engaging storytelling.

 
It addresses controversies surrounding agriculture's environmental impact and social consequences, encouraging critical thinking about the complex legacy of agricultural development. By providing crucial insights into our past and present relationship with food production, this book offers valuable knowledge for addressing current challenges in food security and sustainable farming practices.

    "Africulture is a gift and inspiration."—Michael W. Twitty, author of the James Beard Foundation Award-winning The Cooking Gene 
     
    A bold, timely history illuminating the essential contributions to U.S. agriculture arising from the expertise and innovations of Black men and women. 
     
    In Africulture, fifth-generation family farmer Michael Carter, Jr. has blended an eclectic brew of history, culture, African-centered perspectives, and African American farm realities. Throughout, he includes inspiring stories of innovators as well as sobering facts tracking the severe decline in the number of Black farmers in the United States over the last century. Descriptions of tropical crops that Carter grows, from jute to Nigerian spinach, enliven the text, as do anecdotes from his compelling family history and profiles of contemporary Black farmers and activists. Drawing on the lifecycle of a plant as a metaphor for both individual growth and the larger story of African American farming, Carter evokes the relationship between soil health (metaphorically, society and community) and plant health (i.e., the ability of Black farmers and families to thrive). 
     
    Africulture also includes Carter’s heartfelt reflections on the cycles of progress and backsliding—what he calls “blacklash”—that are an inescapable part of the history of Black people in the United States, in agriculture and beyond. In the present moment, when the civil rights gains and progress toward economic parity for Black Americans of the past fifty years may be slipping away, Carter offers the possibility of a better future through several foundational principles of Africulture. 
     
    Destined to surprise, challenge, and enrich, Africulture lays bare the undeniable revelation that without African expertise and innovation, American agriculture—and America itself—would not exist. 
     
    “The ancestors are undoubtedly shaking their tambourines in celebration of Africulture...[it] provides a blueprint for the blossoming of an agriculture rooted in cultural memory, ecological care, and mutual thriving.”—Leah Penniman, cofounder, Soul Fire Farm; author of Farming While Black

    Who among us has not experienced periods of high anxiety, persistent stress, obsessive ruminations, or recurrent intrusive thoughts? The longer these “repetitive unpleasant thoughts” (RUTs) go untreated, the greater the intensity and number of associated painful symptoms, which can lead to more serious illness.

The key is learning to regulate your nervous system by cultivating what he calls “safety physiology.” Instead of being overwhelmed by your thoughts, you can gain a greater capacity to enjoy life and live it on your own terms. 
     
    Methods and techniques include: 
    Separating from negative thoughts through mindfulness, meditation, and expressive writing.“Turning down the heat” of anger, which is hyperactivated anxiety and neuroinflammation.Softening the ego and its cognitive distortions.Nurturing creativity and joy to rewire neural circuitry. 
     
     
    With uncommon clarity and compassion, Dr. Hanscom explains the science behind these interventions and offers practical tools and an integrated plan for rewiring the brain to relieve pain. Illustrating the scientific research with case studies from his own practice, along with stories from his own recovery from “the abyss” of RUTs, Calm Your Body, Heal Your Mind offers effective strategies and tremendous hope for healing.
