Sinopse

Nomadic Tribes explores the significant role of tribal societies in shaping the Middle East's cultural, economic, and political landscapes. Often viewed as peripheral, these nomadic tribes developed sophisticated strategies for survival in arid regions and built complex relationships with settled populations. The book highlights how their mastery of resource management, evident in unique social structures and technological innovations, allowed them to thrive despite environmental challenges. It also examines the dynamic interplay between nomadic and sedentary communities, revealing a history of both cooperation and conflict, particularly in the realms of trade and warfare. The book synthesizes historical accounts, archaeological findings, and ethnographic studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of Middle Eastern nomadism. It challenges the notion of nomadic groups as marginal entities, instead positioning them as integral components of regional history. Beginning with the environmental and historical context, the narrative progresses through specific aspects of nomadic life, such as economic systems, social organization, and political structures. A key focus is the analysis of tribal-state relations, exploring their involvement in trade networks, military conflicts, and political alliances. By utilizing recently declassified Ottoman and British archival materials, Nomadic Tribes offers fresh insights into tribal administration and socio-economic conditions. This integrated approach, combining historical depth with anthropological insights and political analysis, makes the book a valuable resource for understanding the enduring legacy of nomadic societies in the Middle East.

    “A thorough, lively work of on-the-ground reportage. ... Friedman shares a remarkable story."" —Wall Street Journal 
    Acclaimed “chef writer” Andrew Friedman introduces readers to all the people and processes that come together in a single restaurant dish, creating an entertaining, vivid snapshot of the contemporary restaurant community, modern farming industry, and food-supply chain.  
    On a typical evening, in a contemporary American restaurant, a table orders their dinner from a server. It’s an exchange that happens dozens, or hundreds, of times a night—the core transaction that keeps the place churning. In this book, acclaimed chef writer Andrew Friedman slows down time to focus on a single dish at Chicago’s Wherewithall restaurant, following its production and provenances via real-time kitchen and in-the-field reportage, from the moment the order is placed to when the finished dish is delivered to the table. 
    As various components of this one dish are prepared by the kitchen team, Friedman introduces readers to the players responsible for producing it, from the chefs who conceived the dish and manage the kitchen, to the line cooks and sous chefs who carry out the actual cooking, and the dishwashers who keep pace with the dining room. 
    Readers will also meet the producers, farmers, and ranchers, who supply the restaurant, as Friedman visits each stop in the supply chain and profiles the key characters whose expertise and effort play essential roles in making the dish possible—they will walk rows of crops that line Midwestern farms, feel the chill of the cooler where beef dry-ages, harvest grapes at a Michigan winery, ride along with a delivery-truck driver, and hear the immigration sagas prevalent amongst often unseen and unheralded farm and restaurant workers. 
    The Dish is a rollicking ride inside every aspect of a restaurant dish. Both a fascinating window onto our food systems, and a celebration of the unsung heroes of restaurants and the collaborative nature of professional kitchen work, The Dish will ensure that readers never look at any restaurant meal the same way again.  
    ""Masterful. ... Friedman excels at bringing the dining room to boisterous life with vivid, telling details. ... This will sate gastronomes and casual foodies alike."" — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    The business marketing genius at the forefront of today's entertainment marketing revolution helps corporate America get hip to today's new consumer—the tan generation. 
    When Fortune 500 companies need to reenergize or reinvent a lagging brand, they call Steve Stoute. In addition to marrying cultural icons with blue-chip marketers, Stoute has helped identify and activate a new generation of consumers. He traces how the "tanning" phenomenon raised a generation of black, Hispanic, white, and Asian consumers who have the same "mental complexion"—one based on shared experiences and values rather than the increasingly irrelevant demographic boxes that have been used to a fault by corporate America. But there is a language gap that must be bridged to engage the most powerful market force in the history of commerce. 
    The Tanning of America provides the needed translation guide. Drawing from his company's case studies, as well as from extensive interviews with leading figures in multiple fields, Stoute presents an insider's view of how the transcendent power of popular culture is helping reinvigorate and revitalize the American dream.
