  Wild Peaks: A lively informative...

  Join acclaimed travel writer and incurably curious hiker Tom Chesshyre in this celebration of the Peak District, Britain’s first National Park, on its 75th anniversary 
  'Funny, fair and honest, and effortlessly readable' Matthew Parris 
  In the heart of England lies a fascinating landscape of rugged dark gritstone plateaus and gentle green limestone valleys: the Peak District. But this national treasure hasn’t always been open to all. 
  On a spring day in 1932, 400 disgruntled ramblers embarked on a ‘mass trespass’ of Kinder Scout, the Peak’s highest point. Their aim? To establish a right to roam across the land, against the wishes of wealthy owners. And in 1951 they finally got what they wanted: the Peak District was established as Britain’s first national park. Home to striking dragon-back ridges of rock, vast expanses of peat, farms and villages, cloughs and caverns, the Peak is much more than the ‘howling wilderness’ described by Daniel Defoe three centuries ago. 
  To mark the park’s 75th anniversary, celebrated travel writer Tom Chesshyre hit the trails on a 360-odd mile ramble to find out how this dramatic landscape has fared – and to celebrate this symbolic home of hiking. 
  Wild Peaks follows winding paths, pausing at old inns and mountain huts, and along the way meeting a rich cast of landowners, farmers, historians, mountaineers, publicans, rangers, right-to-roamers, travellers, mountain-rescue members, mystics, dreamers and fellow hikers. 
  Don your cagoule, grab a compass and join Tom as he explores how this place has changed, and how we have too. 
  For fans of Monisha Rajesh (Moonlight Express), Nige Tassell (Searching for Dexys Midnight Runners), Ben Aitken (A Chip Shop in Poznan), Michael Palin (Travelling to Work), and Mark Gregory Probert (Journey through Wales).

  What we learn when an anthropologist and a historian talk about food. 
   
   
    
  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.

  Collecting wine can be a serious business or simply a hobby, but wherever you sit on that scale the same basic principles apply, whether you have 60 bottles or 6,000. This book aims to be a useful guide for both enthusiastic amateurs and more serious wine buyers, helping them navigate their way through the joys and difficulties of the wine trade. From the first steps into retail wine aisles to the complex world of auctions, brokers and allocations, finding a balance that fits your budget and lifestyle is vitally important. Wine is a luxury, one of life's great pleasures, but unless you are simply in it for the money (easier said than done), then you should also only think about wines you actually like to drink.
