Summary

"The Taste Experience" explores the fascinating science behind how we perceive flavor, impacting our food choices, health, and overall well-being. It delves into how taste buds function as detectors, transmitting signals to the brain to create complex flavor profiles. Interestingly, genetics play a role, leading to "supertasters" who are more sensitive to certain tastes. The book examines the journey of taste, from initial contact with receptor cells to the brain's processing centers, highlighting the roles of the thalamus and cortex. It reveals how taste integrates with other senses like smell and texture to shape our holistic experience of flavor. The influence of culture and personal experiences on taste preferences is also discussed. Using insights from sensory biology, neuroscience, and food science, the book presents data from various studies to support its arguments. Progressing across chapters, it offers readers a complete overview of the field, perfect for students, food enthusiasts, and anyone curious about the science of taste.

    A Cubs dynasty founded on fastballs and fisticuffs.   Unlike today's Chicago Cubs, the Cubs of 1906-1910 were not at all lovable, and certainly did not always display traits customarily linked with a winning team. Their manager would brawl with his own players, and the players brawled with each other. Their second baseman and shortstop hated each other and didn't speak for years. Their best pitcher pitched with a mutilated hand. Their star catcher got into a spat with management and left the team for a year to play professional billiards. Their manager over time grew to despise the team owner. Yet, this group of brawlers, bickerers, and battlers dominated the National League and established a baseball dynasty, winning four National League pennants and two world championships in 5 years. Author Gary D. Santella follows the story of a team whose toughness and tenacity was a fitting reflection of early twentieth-century Chicago.

    In a series of incisive and intimate encounters Sarah Ladipo Manyika introduces some of the most distinguished Black thinkers of our times, including Nobel Laureates Toni Morrison and Wole Soyinka, and civic leaders first lady Michelle Obama and Senator Cory Booker. She searches for truth with poet Claudia Rankine and historian Henry Louis Gates, Jr. She discusses race and gender with South African filmmaker Xoliswa Sithole and American actor and playwright Anna Deavere Smith. She interrogates the world around us with pioneering publisher Margaret Busby, parliamentarian Lord Michael Hastings, and civil rights activist Pastor Evan Mawarire—who dared to take on President Robert Mugabe and has lived to tell the tale. We also meet the living embodiment of the many threads, ideas, and histories in this book through the profile of her fabulous 102-year-old friend, Mrs. Willard Harris. In journeys that book-end the collection, Sarah Ladipo Manyika reflects on her own experience of being seen as 'oyinbo' in Nigeria, African in England, Arab in France, colored in Southern Africa, and Black in America, while feeling the least Black and most human among her fellow travelers, explorers all, against the sharp white relief of the South Pole.
