Sinopse

Root Digging Life explores the profound connection between rural communities and the foraging of root vegetables, revealing how this practice has shaped social structures, ecological knowledge, and resilience. Did you know that specific foraging techniques, including when and how to harvest, have been passed down through generations, reflecting a deep understanding of plant-human interactions? Or that root vegetables have historically served as vital buffers against famine and economic hardship? The book examines this relationship through three lenses: the ecological understanding needed for successful foraging, the social dynamics within families and communities during root harvesting, and the historical context of dependence on these foraged foods. It uniquely combines ethnobotany, oral histories, and archival research to elevate the voices of community members and challenge conventional views of rural life. By delving into topics like sustainable living and food security, Root Digging Life demonstrates how traditional ecological knowledge remains relevant today. The book begins by establishing the ecological foundations of root vegetable foraging, then explores the social structures that underpin this practice, before tracing the historical trends of reliance on root vegetables. This comprehensive approach offers valuable insights for students, scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in the enduring connection between humans and nature.

African American Slave Medicine...

Herbert C. Covey

African American Slave Medicine offers a critical examination of how African American slaves' medical needs were addressed during the years before and surrounding the Civil War. Drawing upon ex-slave interviews conducted during the 1930s and 1940s by the Works Project Administration (WPA), Dr. Herbert C. Covey inventories many of the herbal, plant, and non-plant remedies used by African American folk practitioners during slavery. He demonstrates how active the slaves were in their own medical care and the important role faith played in the healing process. This book links each referenced plant or herb to modern scientific evidence to determine its actual worth and effects on the patients. Through his study, Dr. Covey unravels many of the complex social relationships found between the African American slaves, Whites, folk practitioners, and patients. African American Slave Medicine is compelling and captivating listening that will appeal to scholars of African American history and those interested in folk medicine.

Ottoman Sieges of Vienna The:...

Editors Charles River

In the wake of taking Constantinople, the Ottoman Empire would spend the next few centuries expanding its size, power, and influence, bumping up against Eastern Europe and becoming one of the world’s most important geopolitical players. It would take repeated efforts by various European coalitions to prevent a complete Ottoman takeover of the continent, and one of the most important battles among those efforts took place at Vienna in 1529. At the time, the Ottomans were led by one of their most famous sultans, Suleiman the Magnificent, and different chroniclers have analyzed Suleiman's behavior in different ways. There is a plethora of opinions as to his motives for attempting the takeover of Vienna, a well-guarded city far away from his empire's center. Had he intended to conquer the whole of the Holy Roman Empire? Had he intended to strengthen his borders? Had he acted in accordance with King Francis I’s needs in the West? No matter the reason, Suleiman did not halt in his advances, despite the fact circumstances were not favorable for the Ottomans.
The long conflict between the Habsburgs and the Ottomans would finally come to a head in 1683 outside the city of Vienna, the center of Habsburg power in central Europe. It would be no exaggeration to say that the fighting around Vienna represented one of the most important battles not only in the conflict between Islam and Christendom, but in the entire history of the world. If the Habsburgs had lost that battle, it is highly likely that Islamic civilization rather than Christian would dominate much of Europe.
