Summary

Chili Pepper Migration explores the fascinating global journey of chili peppers, tracing their origins in the Americas to their now-ubiquitous presence in world cuisines. It reveals how the Columbian Exchange and subsequent global trade dramatically altered culinary landscapes. Surprisingly, the diverse array of chili peppers we know today all stem from a single origin, highlighting the power of human selection and botanical adaptation.

 
This book examines the botanical history, global spread, and culinary adaptation of chili peppers across continents. It details how Spanish and Portuguese traders played a crucial role in introducing this spice to Asia and Africa. The narrative unfolds chronologically, beginning with the early domestication of capsicum and progressing through trade routes to the integration of chili peppers into regional dishes like those of India, Thailand, and West Africa.

 
By examining historical records and culinary practices, Chili Pepper Migration illustrates the interconnectedness of food, culture, and global trade. It demonstrates how a single plant species transformed cuisines worldwide, impacting economies and shaping regional identities. The book's unique value lies in its comprehensive approach, blending botanical science with culinary and historical insights to reveal the profound impact of this unassuming spice.

The Knotsman does not exist, you will not find him in history books or collections of 'bygone' skills. But Math Jones has created him, and his fellows, in a time very like the English Civil War. There he is, going from house to house, village to village, battlefield to gallows, unravelling knots and problems, physical, emotional and psychological; a new kind of cunning man, not always welcome, not always quite as clever as his fingers and picks would have him believe.

This is a history of St Joseph's Māori Girls' College, which has become the second oldest Māori boarding school and was started by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions in 1867. For over 150 years, the college has been dedicated to nurturing the aspirations of young Māori women. Its teachings are grounded in whānaungatanga, Māoritanga, religious values and academic excellence. The college has given rise to numerous Māori trailblazers in a variety of fields. This book brings together the recollections of former pupils, staff and whānau (over 160 interviews were conducted). At its core, it is a story of sisterhood.

When novels became a thing around the seventeenth century, it was all thrilling. It wasn't possible for readers to say, “This is unoriginal, this has been done before, this is a good or bad novel.” Every novel was an innovation. As time progressed, a framework for the conventional novel emerged: a linear narrative, stories about people growing up or falling apart, compelling characters, and definite conclusions that provide emotional satisfaction. 
In How to Read Novels Like a Professor (2008), Thomas C. Foster dives deep into each of these elements, using his own set of laws for the novel to help readers increase their understanding. He backs up his explanations with a wealth of vivid literary examples that will make you want to read every novel he mentions.
