Book Description
The Anthropology of Food and Body explores the way that making, eating, and thinking about food reveal culturally determined gender-power relations in diverse societies. Carole M. Counihan takes a cross-cultural approach to ask compelling questions about eating disorders, body dissatisfaction, bodily changes in reproduction, and gender differences around food.
Using ethnographic data from her fieldwork in Europe and the U.S., the author addresses issues around food, culture and gender such as: What powers do women gain and lose through their control over food preparation and distribution? What do food images in children's fantasy stories tell us about their sense of self? How do beliefs about eating and intercourse in different cultures reflect and affect gender ideology? How does the objectification of the female body subordinate women, and how can women challenge it? And how do pregnancy and birth affect women's body image and empowerment? This book brings feminist and anthropological theories to bear on these provocative issues and will interest anyone investigating the relationship between food, the body, and cultural notions of gender.
Book Description
"Tell me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are." --Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Every living thing needs food to survive, but for humans, food has a much deeper and more complex significance. This beautifully illustrated, thought-provoking book explores the role of food in our lives, going on location to thirteen ethnic communities across the United States and examining, through stories, pictures, and interviews with food experts, the many ways that food is an expression of our humanity. It parallels a three-part PBS series hosted by acclaimed New York chef Marcus Samuelsson.
From an Italian-American wedding in San Diego to a Mexican-American family's Christmastime tradition of making holiday tamales, The Meaning of Food delves into the ways that food binds us to family and culture. It looks in on a Jamai Shasthi ceremony, in which foods promoting fertility are fed to the sons-in-law of a Bengali family in California. It accompanies a woman to South Carolina's coastal lowlands as she explores her Geechee heritage, making red rice with a culinary historian. It enters the kitchen of an East Texas Czech family as they prepare for this year's kolache bake-off. It explains the anthropological signficance behind these and other vignettes, revealing the importance of culinary tradition and celebrating our cultural diversity as expressed through food.
The Meaning of Food speaks for the revival of the kitchen and the table as centers of pleasure, culture, and community. With 15 recipes, including several developed by Marcus Samuelsson specifically for the series, and more than one hundred color photos, many of them captured from the series footage, it will be a wonderful addition to the library of anyone interested in food and culture.
"There is communion of much more than our bodies when bread is broken and wine is drunk." --M.F.K. Fisher

Why we are what we eat and so much more.......2005-06-04
The companion to the PBS Television series hosted by Marcus Samuelsson, The Meaning of Food is the collaborative effort of Patricia Harris, David Lyon, and Sue McLaughlin and is not only a recipe book, but dwells upon what truly makes a meal, why some food is considered sacred or inseparably tied to emotions, connections between food, culture, and family, and much more. Full color photographs illustrate this narrative global history of the role cuisine has played in cultural evolution and expression since ancient times. A bibliography and index round out this involving chronicle recommended for anyone interested in a matter-of-fact overview of why we are what we eat and so much more.
Book Description
Peter Kaminsky, one of the premier experts on fly-fishing, offers his unique worldview to fishermen and women everywhere in this fifth meaning of life guidebook. As any true fly fisherman knows, fly-fishing is more than a sport. Its an affirmation of life. This lyrical book muses on the philosophy of fly-fishing, rather than the hook and ballet aspect of the sport. Kaminsky calls up the greats of fly-fishing lore and his own profound experiences of early mornings, damp clothes, exuberant catches and releases, and peace. During the hardest times, times when the world seems all wrong, he fly fishes. In these 15 pieces, readers will be transported to another more joyful place where the bass and trout whisper a philosophy of life that makes sense.

Buildings That Changed The World
ASIN: 0674010191 |
Book Description
The Pantheon in Rome is one of the grand architectural statements of all ages. This richly illustrated book isolates the reasons for its extraordinary impact on Western architecture, discussing the Pantheon as a building in its time but also as a building for all time.
Mr. MacDonald traces the history of the structure since its completion and examines its progeny--domed rotundas with temple-fronted porches built from the second century to the twentieth--relating them to the original. He analyzes the Pantheon's design and the details of its technology and construction, and explores the meaning of the building on the basis of ancient texts, formal symbolism, and architectural analogy. He sees the immense unobstructed interior, with its disk of light that marks the sun's passage through the day, as an architectural metaphor for the ecumenical pretensions of the Roman Empire.
Past discussions of the Pantheon have tended to center on design and structure. These are but the starting point for Mr. MacDonald, who goes on to show why it ranks--along with Cheops's pyramid, the Parthenon, Wren's churches, Mansard's palaces-as an architectural archetype.
Customer Reviews:
Tastily Edifying .......2005-02-15
William L. MacDonald presents an unpretentious and sound survey of Rome's most famous yet least understood architectural icon. For those with a keen but novitiate interest in the Pantheon, or casual readers of Roman history, this book is ideal; it's not overwhelmingly fact-laden and it's as assimilable as an afternoon snack. For those interested in the engineering, logistics and constitution of the Pantheon I would suggest some of the recent work by the Engineer David Moore. Historically MacDonald's ideas are consistent with previous analyses and include an interesting metaphysical supposition for the Pantheon's ambitious dimensions ("to unify unities...is the Pantheons ultimate meaning" - pg. 88). The final chapter offers an insightful survey of similar designs from ancient Mycenae to Neoclassical American, showing how influencing, and influenced, Hadrian's rebuilt Pantheon was as a western idiom and architectural paragon.
All-in-all I enjoyed reading this book and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it!
Book Description
These days any woman knows that the sensual pleasures of food and cooking are all too often obscured by the increasing demands of careers, families, battles over body image, and the desire for a life outside the "traditional" domain of the kitchen. Through the Kitchen Window offers a fresh look at food and cooking, arguing that food is a cultural declaration, an expression of hidden hungers, a symbol of our intimate connections to one another. Including memories of Latina, Geechee, Chinese and Indian kitchens, this book reveals everything from the painful struggles to overcome an eating disorder to the tantalizing delights of cornbread and barbecue eaten from a lover's hands, and challenges assumptions about women, food, and the true satisfaction of cooking.

Politically Correct Cookery.......2001-03-15
As with any anthology, the appeal and the quality of the essays here varies, but what prompted me to write a review is the extraordinary tone of smug superiority that wafts off of all too many of those found here. The most egregious example of that smugness is to be found in a vicious little piece by Sally Bellerose in which she regales the reader with her saintly forebearance as she describes the horrors bestowed upon her delicate consciousness when she deigns to honor her reactionary parents with her presence at their dinner table. And could you have a book of this kind without including that Queen of Noble Suffering, Maya Angelou? She's represented here with a snippet from her often anthologized book "Wouldn't Take Nothin' For My Journey Now." There's also the pro forma male bashing in many of the essays ("Now I cook as a woman, free of that feeling of enslavement with which a male culture has imbued the process of preparing food.") There's also the stereotyping that often goes along with this kind of generic thinking; eg. "Everyone knows that TV dinners are mainly the province of heterosexual males and the career woman who lives alone. Gay men often enjoy cooking and are generally as good at it as the most creative woman." The editor is a professor in the women's studies program at U. Mass, Amherst. I doubt there's much room for discussion in her classes, unless that discussion serves her dogma. It's not the politics I disliked so much as it is the unquestioned assumptions and the tone of sanctimony that cling to these memory scraps. If you're already in the choir, this book will be happy to preach at you, but if you have yet to sign off on every blessed stereotype of oppression, you may find it annoying in some places,offensive in others,
An exciting and sober look into the lives of women who cook.......1999-02-21
It took 3 seconds to decide to buy this book. A book to savor, chapter by chapter, to carry along when you need to read for an hour or so somewhere in your travels, to have bedside, and a companion for afternoon cool-down time. At this skill leval, many fine recipes, revealing even more of the cooks character and desire to do well. Fills those little niches of lonliness most of us feel , brings us in close to the discussion around the table with other women.Treasured moments! There are profound intellectual meanings as well.Steven King might enjoy the poem by Marge Piercy, "What is that burning in the kitchen!"Very funny and sooty!
Delicious & appetizing stories await you in this collection........1998-11-02
Avakian's "Through the Kitchen Window" offers a delicious medley of stories, anecdotes, and recipes from some of today's most celebrated women writers. Authors as diverse as Maya Angelou, Ester Shapiro and Dorothy Allison share rich and distinctly different perspectives of the significance of food and cooking in their lives. Numerous stories in this collection take the reader on inspiring journeys across cultural and ethnic borders, landing in wonderful and curious foreign worlds. Everyone from West Indian slaves, Cuban Jews and Irish peasants, to name a few, are represented along with their culinary legacies. However, these stories represent much more than food; they are personal portrayals of identity, character and intimacy. Extraordinary narratives about family, friends and spirit each intertwined with hidden meanings and secret hungers of food and life. These tales will move readers to recall occasions and loved ones indelibly marked by meals or food in our own hearts and minds. From tales of struggles between mothers and daughters, the sacrificial lamb of forbidden love to cafeteria food and lime Jell-O, each reader will find at least one story that warms the heart, as well as, feeds the soul. One of my favorite stories in this collection is by the popular women's historical author, Sharon L. Jansen. Her personal narrative of her relationship with her mother is far removed from her usual chronicled style. Her story '"Family Liked 1956": My Mother's Recipes' reflects her personal feelings of the exceptional 20-year correspondence with her mother through letters and recipes. Women, cooks, or anyone who ever found delight in the pleasure of eating, will treasure this book. Add it to your library and read it again and again. You'll never tire of the warmth, love and inspiration you will find in each and every story.

Book Description
Food, Morals and Meaning traces our complex relationship with food and eating and our preoccupation with diet, self-discipline and food guilt. Using our current fascination with health and nutrition, it explores why our appetite for food pleasures makes us feel anxious. This second edition includes an examination of how our current obsession with body size, especially fatness, drives a national and international panic about the obesity "epidemic."
Focussing on how our food anxieties have stemmed from social, political and religious problems in Western history, Food Morals and Meaning looks at:
· the ancient Greeks' preoccupation with eating
· early Christianity and the conflict between the pleasures of the flesh and spirituality
· scientific developments in 18th and 19th Century Europe and our current knowledge of food
· the social organization of food in the modern home, based on real interviews
· the obesity "epidemic" and its association with moral degeneration
Based on the work of Michel Foucault, this original book explains how a rationalization food choice - so apparent in current programmes on nutrition and health - can be traced through a genealogy of historical social imperatives and moral panics. Food, Morals and Meaning is essential reading for those studying nutrition, public health, sociology of health and illness and sociology of the body.
Download Description
This book examines our need to discipline our desires, our appetites and our pleasures at the table. It argues that a rationalisation of pleasure plays a positive role in our lives, allowing us to better understand who we are.
