Sinossi

Wild Foraging explores the deep-rooted history of humanity's connection with the natural world through foraging. It examines how different societies have historically relied on wild plants for food, medicine, and materials, highlighting the ecological knowledge that underpinned these practices. The book emphasizes that foraging is more than just a primitive skill; it's a sophisticated system of ecological understanding and cultural practice essential for sustainable living.

 
Did you know that Paleolithic societies possessed an intimate knowledge of edible and medicinal plants, forming the basis of early diets and healthcare? Or that traditional Chinese medicine has deep roots in the use of foraged medicinal herbs? 

 
The book journeys chronologically, starting with hunter-gatherer societies and moving through the development of agriculture to the impact of globalization on foraging. It also looks at the modern resurgence of interest in foraging. Through case studies from various regions, Wild Foraging illustrates the diverse ways societies have utilized wild plants, from crafting textiles to incorporating wild mushrooms into indigenous diets. It's unique in its historical perspective, focusing on the evolution of foraging and its cultural and ecological dimensions.

 
The book progresses by first introducing plant identification and ethical harvesting, then exploring case studies, and finally offering practical insights for contemporary foragers.

Under the Henfluence - Inside...

Tove Danovich

Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
 
 
 
From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.
