  From the origins of agriculture to contemporary debates over culinary authenticity, Ways of Eating introduces listeners to world food history and food anthropology. Through engaging stories and historical deep dives, Benjamin A. Wurgaft and Merry I. White offer new ways to understand food in relation to its natural and cultural histories and the social rules that shape our meals. 
   
   
    
  Wurgaft and White use vivid storytelling to bring food practices to life, weaving stories of Panamanian coffee growers, medieval women beer makers, and Japanese knife forgers. From the Venetian spice trade to the Columbian Exchange, from Roman garum to Vietnamese nuoc cham, Ways of Eating provides an absorbing account of world food history and anthropology. Migration, politics, and the dynamics of group identity all shape what we eat, and we can learn to trace these social forces from the plate to the kitchen, the factory, and the field.

  Plato’s Phaedrus

  Plato’s dialogues frequently cover several topics and show their connection to each other. The "Phaedrus" is a model of that skill because of its seamless progression from examples of speeches about the nature of love to mythical visions of human nature and destiny to the essence of beauty and, finally, to a penetrating discussion of speaking and writing. It ends with an examination of the love of wisdom as a dialectical activity in the human mind.Plato lived in Athens, Greece. He wrote approximately two-dozen dialogues that explore core topics that are essential to all human beings. Although the historical Socrates was a strong influence on Plato, the character by that name that appears in many of his dialogues is a product of Plato’s fertile imagination. All of Plato’s dialogues are written in a poetic form that his student Aristotle called “Socratic dialogue.” In the twentieth century, the British philosopher and logician Alfred North Whitehead characterized the entire European philosophical tradition as “a series of footnotes to Plato.” Philosophy for Plato was not a set of doctrines but a goal — not the possession of wisdom but the love of wisdom. Agora Publications offers these performances based on the assumption that Plato wrote these works to be performed by actors in order to stimulate additional dialogue among those who listen to them.

  2:45 Fever - If You Want to Know...

  Why Are High Schools Graduating Illiterate Seniors? If you really want to know what is happening in America's schools, do not ask the students. Do not speak with the teachers. Do not eavesdrop on the principals. Do not believe the bureaucrats at the District Education Office. Listen to the substitutes. They are where the rubber meets the road, and they have no loyalty to any one school. In 2:45 Fever, thirty-five substitute teachers tell you what they see. A gifted fifth-grader gets every math problem right and says, "You're only saying that because I'm black." A substitute shares a photograph of Buffalo Soldiers with her class and gets called into the principal's office for "exciting" certain students. A girl hunts through a Chromebook program for an example that will never come, needing a human being to explain what the words actually mean. A substitute who grew up eating every day but Thursday draws her philosophy of education from Alice in Wonderland: no one knows what will happen tomorrow, but the survivors are prepared for the unknown. In February 2026, the U.S. Department of Education reported that districts spent only two-thirds of $1.1 billion allocated for student support. When they consulted stakeholders about how to use the money, they asked administrators and staff. They never asked the substitutes. This book does. The book closes in Torino, Italy, where the father of a substitute teacher — a Holocaust refugee — recognizes a young man standing under a lamp post where his father and grandfather stood before him. "You Americans do not know how good you've got it," he tells his son. "In America, there are no rules. You just do not understand that." The key to that freedom is education. And we are losing it.
