Book excerpt: The next stage in the food revolution: a radical way to select fruits and vegetables and reclaim the flavor and nutrients we've lost. Ever since farmers first planted seeds 10,000 years ago, humans have been destroying the nutritional value of their fruits and vegetables. Unwittingly, we've been selecting plants that are high in starch and sugar and low in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants for more than 400 generations. Eating on the Wild Side reveals the solution -- choosing modern varieties that approach the nutritional content of wild plants but that also please the modern palate. Jo Robinson explains that many of these newly identified varieties can be found in supermarkets and farmer's market, and introduces simple, scientifically proven methods of preparation that enhance their flavor and nutrition. Based on years of scientific research and filled with food history and practical advice, Eating on the Wild Side will forever change the way we think about food.

Book excerpt: "I have always been intrigued by fringe science," writes Martin Gardner in the preface to this book, "perhaps for the same reason that I enjoy freak shows and circuses. Pseudoscientists, especially the extreme cranks, are fascinating creatures for psychological study. Moreover, I have found that one of the best ways to learn something about any branch of science is to find out where its crackpots go wrong."A unique combination of horse sense and drollery has made Martin Gardner the undisputed dean of the critics of pseudoscience. This bountiful collection of essays and articles will be wholeheartedly greeted by Gardner''s fans, as well as by new readers.This collection of articles - many of which first appeared in the Skeptical Inquirer, the New York Review of Books, and Free Inquiry - explores pseudoscience and strange religious beliefs with the author''s trademark wit and verve. Destined to be a classic of skeptical literature, this book covers a wide range of topics - including UFOs, rainmaking, ghosts, the Big Bang, ESP, Oral Roberts, as well as the early history of spiritualism and today''s bizarre "trance channeling" cults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the kidnapping of a Delhi-based management consultant by insurgents in the North East of India in the mid-1990s, told from the perspectives of the kidnappee, his wife in Delhi, and the commander of an insurgent group that has him in its captivity. It spans events from the 1960s onwards and takes the reader across India and its North East, with occasional forays into Bangladesh, Myanmar, and British India’s northwestern frontier. The story delves into questions of ethnicity, identity, nationalism and sub-nationalism in the North East, explores their connection with insurgency, and describes the assumptions, compulsions and motivations of the time. In the process, it introduces the India of the twentieth century, and its North East, to twenty-first century Indians.

Download or read book Political Problems and Personalities in Contemporary Maryland written by Theodore F. Sheckels and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-11-08 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political Problems and Personalities in Contemporary Maryland provides a comprehensive rhetorical analysis of contemporary politics and political communication in Maryland at both the state and local levels. Theodore F. Sheckels and Carl Hyden approach rhetoric in a broader sense, arguing that actions by political players – including decisions on housing policy, urban redevelopment policy, and transportation policy—are not in a separate category from their messages. In many cases, they argue, actions are messages, often with important material consequences. Rather than focusing solely on previous or upcoming elections, as political communication has traditionally been examined, Sheckels and Hyden give considerable space to non-election topics, responding to current shifts in political communication scholarship and encouraging others to examine political communication at the local and state levels elsewhere in the United States. Scholars of communication, political science, rhetoric, and history will find this book of particular interest.

Download or read book Eating on the Wild Side written by Nina L. Etkin and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2000-11 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People have long used wild plants as food and medicine, and for a myriad of other important cultural applications. While these plants and the foraging activities associated with them have been dismissed by some observers as secondary or supplementaryÑor even backwardÑtheir contributions to human survival and well-being are more significant than is often realized. Eating on the Wild Side spans the history of human-plant interactions to examine how wild plants are used to meet medicinal, nutritional, and other human needs. Drawing on nonhuman primate studies, evidence from prehistoric human populations, and field research among contemporary peoples practicing a range of subsistence strategies, the book focuses on the processes and human ecological implications of gathering, semidomestication, and cultivation of plants that are unfamiliar to most of us. Contributions by distinguished cultural and biological anthropologists, paleobotanists, primatologists, and ethnobiologists explore a number of issues such as the consumption of unpalatable and famine foods, the comparative assessment of aboriginal diets with those of colonists and later arrivals, and the apparent self-treatment by sick chimpanzees with leaves shown to be pharmacologically active. Collectively, these articles offer a theoretical framework emphasizing the cultural evolutionary processes that transform plants from wild to domesticatedÑwith many steps in betweenÑwhile placing wild plant use within current discussions surrounding biodiversity and its conservation. Eating on the Wild Side makes an important contribution to our understanding of the links between biology and culture, describing the interface between diet, medicine, and natural products. By showing how various societies have successfully utilized wild plants, it underscores the growing concern for preserving genetic diversity as it reveals a fascinating chapter in the human ecology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life as you know it comes to a brief halt when the things that go bump in the night come to life. An ancient evil is released when careless behavior is at its best. Diamond is 16 years old and a handful to everyone around her. After undermining her father for the last time she breaks into his study and finds a mysterious book. She becomes possessed by the book’s words and accidentally breaks the spell of an age old curse that awakens creatures that posse the darkest powers. The first Vampires and Werewolves fuelled by cursed blood return to the surface of Earth to feed. They board the Bechinhoven (ancient barge like vessel the size of 20 football fields that stores miles of hidden resting vampires) in search of Diamond. Cacoovoe, the Vampire lord and is the epitome of evil and immediately begins his bloody assault on mankind. Not too far behind him comes his band of putrid henchmen. Together they form an alliance so dark and so powerful that any force waging against them could and would be crippled. Cacoovoe is the second oldest Vampire in the world and rules the Vampire nation with an iron fist. However, when his older Brother Thatigoate, the Vampire God, is reborn he is immediately disciplined and put in his rightful place. After crippling the wicked children of the night, Thatigoate sets out to kill Diamond himself and along with him came the forever night (never ending cloak of night that holds nations of hell’s evil). In his way stands Lobo, the first and father to all Werewolves. Lobo heads a family of violent beasts that have their own version of hide and seek. They’re intent is to kill Diamond as well. She has the power to terminate the darkness that creates a Vampire or Werewolf. Just one “TRA.LA.LA” or a word sung and the undead will split in two. Lobo undermines her power but falls in love at the first sight. While he continues to undermine his brood, the Vampires seem to be leading the hunt when they are separated and man handled by two of the most superior beings ever. Ryden and his right hand Geyeargo lead the assault on both imposing blood thirsty groups. Both Ryden and Geyeargo derived from a secret race of superhuman and immortal beings called Darkens. They travel in the secrecy of night and prowl in the darkness in search of evil beasts. Hidden from humanity they are God’s assassins. The two travel to Sentinel City to sack and intercept the approaching evil and indulge themselves the fight of their lives. This is a tale of horrid evil beyond your wildest dreams. Deceit, adventure, darkness and family feuds all wrapped up in one chilling story about the never ending fight between good and evil.

Download or read book Walking on the Wild Side written by Kristi M. Fondren and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most famous long-distance hiking trail in North America, the 2,181-mile Appalachian Trail—the longest hiking-only footpath in the world—runs along the Appalachian mountain range from Georgia to Maine. Every year about 2,000 individuals attempt to “thru-hike” the entire trail, a feat equivalent to hiking Mount Everest sixteen times. In Walking on the Wild Side, sociologist Kristi M. Fondren traces the stories of forty-six men and women who, for their own personal reasons, set out to conquer America’s most well known, and arguably most social, long-distance hiking trail. In this fascinating in-depth study, Fondren shows how, once out on the trail, this unique subculture of hikers lives mostly in isolation, with their own way of acting, talking, and thinking; their own vocabulary; their own activities and interests; and their own conception of what is significant in life. They tend to be self-disciplined, have an unwavering trust in complete strangers, embrace a life of poverty, and reject modern-day institutions. The volume illuminates the intense social intimacy and bonding that forms among long-distance hikers as they collectively construct a long-distance hiker identity. Fondren describes how long-distance hikers develop a trail persona, underscoring how important a sense of place can be to our identity, and to our sense of who we are. Indeed, the author adds a new dimension to our understanding of the nature of identity in general. Anyone who has hiked—or has ever dreamed of hiking—the Appalachian Trail will find this volume fascinating. Walking on the Wild Side captures a community for whom the trail is a sacred place, a place to which they have become attached, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.

Download or read book Maryland Trout Fishing written by Steve Moore and published by . This book was released on 2011-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To catch fish, you need to know where to fish. Steve visited every location discussed and discovered Maryland provides a startling array of trout fishing opportunities, ranging from some surprising locations on the Eastern Shore all the way to the wild and roiling rivers of Garrett County in the western mountains. This book covers 100% of the stocked trout water in Maryland along with the better known wild trout streams. For each, Steve provides a description, directions and an itemized list of access points. However, knowing anglers judge water by "how it looks," he includes at least one picture (551 total) for each location, allowing you to make an informed judgment before burning the gas to visit any particular spot. Given the availability of GPS technology on devices ranging from cell phones to car navigation systems, Steve includes 902 GPS coordinates to describe the stream boundaries as well as every known access point. Plug these into your navigation system for custom directions or into the Google(TM) satellite view for a bird's-eye perspective of the water and the surrounding terrain. Add your own favorite wild streams using the methodological approach described in the chapter on "Blue Lining." Finally, Steve's chapter on "Stocked Trout Behavior" contains lessons learned from a number scientific studies. Understanding the movement dynamics of freshly stocked fish allows you to position yourself to maximize your catch Reviewed and checked by members of the Potomac-Patuxent and Northern Virginia Chapters of Trout Unlimited, Potomac Valley Fly Fishers, and the Annapolis Chapter of the Free State Fly Fishers. Feedback included: "Likely to be regarded as the 'Bible' for trout fishing" "Your work is well prepared, it is impressive"
