Global Pizza Craze

Marcus Blackwell

Sinopse

"Global Pizza Craze" presents a fascinating exploration of how a humble Neapolitan flatbread transformed into one of the world's most influential foods, shaping cultures and economies across continents.

 
Through meticulous research spanning five continents, the book reveals pizza's remarkable journey from ancient Mediterranean streets to global prominence, demonstrating how this seemingly simple dish serves as a powerful lens for understanding cultural exchange, economic development, and social transformation.

 
The narrative unfolds in three distinct parts, beginning with pizza's archaeological origins in Pompeii's ancient pizzerias and tracing its evolution through medieval Italian manuscripts to modern times. Particularly intriguing is the book's examination of how pizza adapted to local tastes while maintaining its essential character – from its unexpected modifications in Brazil's Japanese communities to its influential role in American suburban development.

 
The author skillfully weaves together multiple disciplines, combining traditional historical analysis with contemporary food anthropology and economic research. What sets this work apart is its comprehensive approach to understanding pizza's global impact through both quantitative economic data and qualitative cultural analysis.

 
The book demonstrates how pizza transcended its origins to become a vehicle for cultural exchange, supported by interviews with pizzaioli from Naples to Tokyo and extensive market analyses. For readers interested in food history, cultural anthropology, or globalization, this work offers valuable insights into how a single food item can illuminate broader patterns of human civilization and commerce.

My Melissa--Spanked by Her...

J.C. Cummings

Bruce Morgan is worried. His wife and fellow investment broker Melissa has just texted him--begging him to come up to her office. When he arrives, he finds her surrounded by four of her colleagues--three men and one woman--and they are livid over her recent insistence that they diversify their clients’ portfolios...with cannabis stocks! Now, their clients are angry, management is angry, and their careers are in jeopardy. Livid? Frankly, her colleagues are enraged.

Now, Bruce Morgan is scared.

These people want justice. They want restitution. And, after a brief huddle, they announce that a bare-bottom spanking be administered to Melissa by all of them. Naturally, the three male colleagues want her clothes to come off first.

Now, Bruce Morgan is confused.

With his wife now undergoing the most humiliating experience imaginable, he should feel sorry for her. And he does. It's just that, well, their sex-life has been more or less nonexistent ever since Melissa began obsessing over her work. So, the opportunity to witness this very arousing spectacle is overriding his compassion and making him very aroused, indeed.

And the "thoroughness" of Melissa’s colleagues in "evening the score" quickly brings the spectacle to an almost unimaginable level of humiliation. And titillation.

Now, Bruce Morgan is thrilled.

Guilt-ridden to the hilt, this frustrated hubby is nonetheless becoming so aroused seeing what his wife is being put through that, well, he just can’t resist joining in on the fun!

This is Book #6 in J.C.'s latest series: "My Wife--Submissive at Last"--a collection of titillating tales featuring horny, hard-up, and harried husbands who find themselves in newfound positions of power and dominance over their demanding, controlling, and sexually conservative wives.

I'm Not Mad (Anymore)

Bron Lewis

A fiercely funny, feminist debut about mental health, motherhood and female rage, for fans of Caitlin Moran, Celeste Barber and Tanya Hennessy.

Bron Lewis is one of Australia’s most beloved comedians, regularly appearing on Have You Been Paying Attention? and Thank God You’re Here. No stranger to madness – from watching her mother smash a casserole dish through the family dining table while going through ‘the change’, to finding herself singing Tina Arena’s ‘Chains’ at the top of her lungs in public to drown out the sound of her babies’ cries – Bron has experienced her fair share of dark nights of the soul.

Bron was taught as a child, like most other young girls, that it’s expected for women to go mad. When we see a woman lose her footing and, for example, yell ‘MOTHERHOOD IS WAY HARDER THAN THEY BLOODY SAY IT IS’ at a pregnant stranger through four lanes of traffic, we usually look away, laugh into our collars, and thank Christ-on-a-bike that we aren’t as mad as she is.

If you’ve ever cringed as you watched your mum stumble dramatically through hot flushes, or soiled your pants in Kmart, or found yourself struggling through the seemingly unending chapter of becoming a new mum, then this is the book for you. Watch Bron spiral into rage and out of it so you can avoid the same fate.

I’m Not Mad (Anymore) sheds light on the mental struggles women go through silently, from post-natal depression and anxiety to menopause and all the muck in between.

You will laugh, cry and look at your mum in a whole new light.

‘A hilarious, sharp and heartfelt ride through the chaos of womanhood.’ URZILA CARLSON
