Everyone Eats: Understanding Food and Culture
|
|
Everyone Eats: Understanding Food and Culture NYU Press | 2005-03-01 | ISBN: 0814704956 | 304 pages | PDF | 2 MB Everyone eats, but rarely do we ask why or investigate why we eat what we eat. Why do we love spices, sweets, coffee? How did rice become such a staple food throughout so much of eastern Asia? Everyone Eats examines the social and cultural reasons for our food choices and provides an explanation of the nutritional reasons for why humans eat, resulting in a unique cultural and biological approach to the topic. E. N. Anderson explains the economics of food in the globalization era, food's relationship to religion, medicine, and ethnicity as well as offers suggestions on how to end hunger, starvation, and malnutrition.
Everyone Eats feeds our need to understand human ecology by explaining the ways that cultures and political systems structure the edible environment.

Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined
|
Gordon Patzer “Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined"
AMACOM | 2008-01-30 | ISBN: 0814480543 | 288 pages | PDF | 2,5 MB
We all know one hard and undeniable truth: Physical beauty comes with tremendous power, and tremendous benefits. Those who possess it are generally luckier in love, more likely to be popular, and more apt to get better grades in school. But very few of us realize just how much looks affect every aspect of our lives. Recent studies document that people blessed with good looks earn about 10% more than their average-looking colleagues. They are also more likely to get hired and promoted at work. What exactly is this "physical attractiveness" phenomenon and how does it affect each and every one of us?
Dr. Gordon L. Patzer has devoted the last 30 years to investigating this unsettling phenomenon for both women and men, and how it touches every part of our lives. In Looks, he reveals not only its impact on romance, but also on family dynamics, performance in school, career, courtroom proceedings, politics and government. Looks is the first book to explore how the power of beauty affects both sexes and how the rise of reality TV shows, cosmetic surgery, and celebrity culture have contributed to our culture’s overall obsession with being beautiful.
Unflinching and topical, Looks uncovers the sometimes ugly truth about beauty and its profound effects on all our lives.

Harv Eker, #1 NY Times best-selling author, Secrets of The Millionaire Mind ~~~~ "The Passion TestTM has given me incredible insight into what was missing in my life, where I was not 100% spot on in pursuing my passions. It's simple, it's easy, and it's profound. Out of it came the creation of an organization I'd been putting off for six years and a fuller expression of my love and my commitment to my family. I think there's nothing more important than that." -Jack Canfield, co-creator of the #1 NY Times best-selling series, Chicken Soup for the Soul® ~~~~ "Chris and Janet Attwood have provided a clear, simple, and effective method to help you identify your core passions so you can create the fulfilling life you deserve." -John Gray, PhD, #1 NY Times best-selling author of Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus ~~~~ "Quite frankly I was blown away.
