This fascinating book examines the biology and culture of foods and beverages that are consumed in communal settings, with special attention to their health implications. Nina Etkin covers a wealth of topics, exploring human evolutionary history, the Slow Food movement, ritual and ceremonial foods, caffeinated beverages, spices, the street foods of Hawaii and northern Nigeria, and even bottled water. Her work is framed by a biocultural perspective that considers both the physiological implications of consumption and the cultural construction and circulation of foods.

Introduction: Slow food : gastronomic politics for the 21st century -- What is "slow food"? What are "slow cities"? -- What's so great about slow? -- Prometheus versus Noah : a new humanism for the twenty-first century -- Imagined communities, USA : crosses, flags, arches -- The rescuing ark : the art, the music, the place -- Conversations with snailblazers and the charge of elitism -- Conclusion: A new humanism : forging a revolution at a snail's pace.

Bringing together scholars from the areas of tourism, leisure and cultural studies, eco-humanities and tourism management, this book examines the emerging phenomenon of slow tourism. The book explores the range of travel experiences that are part of growing consumer concerns with quality leisure time, environmental and cultural sustainability, as well as the embodied experience of place. Slow tourism encapsulates a range of lifestyle practices, mobilities and ethics that are connected to social movements such as slow food and cities, as well as specialist sectors such as ecotourism and voluntourism. The slow experience of temporality can evoke and incite different ways of being and moving, as well as different logics of desire that value travel experiences as forms of knowledge. Slow travel practices reflect a range of ethical-political positions that have yet to be critically explored in the academic literature despite the growth of industry discourse

It is widely recognized that travel and tourism can have a high environmental impact and make a major contribution to climate change. It is therefore vital that ways to reduce these impacts are developed and implemented. 'Slow travel' provides such a concept, drawing on ideas from the 'slow food' movement with a concern for locality, ecology and quality of life.The aim of this book is to define slow travel and to discuss how some underlining values are likely to pervade new forms of sustainable development. It also aims to provide insights into the travel experience; these are explored in seve

This book explores the literary culture of Britain's radical press from 1880 to 1910, a time that saw a flourishing of radical political activity as well as the emergence of a mass print industry. While Enlightenment radicals and their heirs had seen free print as an agent of revolutionary transformation, socialist, anarchist and other radicals of this later period suspected that a mass public could not exist outside the capitalist system. In response, they purposely reduced the scale of print by appealing to a small, counter-cultural audience. "Slow print," like "slow food" today, actively re

Einander zuhören, die Sinne schärfen, sich einmischen im Kleinen wie im Großen - Carlo Petrini und Luis Sepúlveda erzählen uns von ihrer je eigenen Sicht auf die Dinge im Leben, die fu?r Freude und Glu?ck stehen: gutes Essen, Zeit fu?r das Schöne oder die Bewahrung von Traditionen sowie die Liebe zur Natur. In einer inspirierenden Mischung aus Biografie, literarischer Erzählung und politischem Manifest zeigen zwei außergewöhnliche Persönlichkeiten ihren Lesern Wege zum Innehalten, zu Arbeit, die Sinn stiftet und Spaß bereitet, und zu einem Glu?ck, das nur der findet, der sich engagiert und an der Gestaltung einer guten Zukunft teilhaben kann. Carlo Petrini ist Gründer und Präsident von Slow Food International, einer Organisation mit mittlerweile über 100.000 Mitgliedern in über 150 Ländern. Sein Lebensziel ist es, sich für 'gut, sauber und fair' produzierte Nahrungsmittel zu engagieren. Petrini ist Autor zahlreicher Bücher zum Thema. Der ebenfalls 1949 geborene Chilene Luis Sepúlveda ist Schriftsteller, Regisseur und politischer Aktivist. Seine Bücher 'Wie Kater Zorbas der kleinen Möwe das Fliegen beibrachte' und 'Der Alte, der Liebesromane las' machten ihn weltweit bekannt. Nachdem er Chile während der Pinochet-Diktatur verlassen musste, lebte er zehn Jahre lang in Hamburg.

Auch wenn bei fast allen Diäten und Kostregimes mit dem Schlagwort Genuss geworben wird: Eine genussvolle und gesunde Ernährung schließen sich in gewisser Weise aus, weil gesunde Ernährung im Sinne der Ernährungswissenschaft mit Restriktion und Reglementierung verbunden ist. Eva-Maria Endres zeigt auf, dass genussvolles Essen, ohne den schmalen Korridor normativer Ernährungsempfehlungen zu begehen, gesundheitsförderlich sein kann und keineswegs mit Exzess gleichgesetzt werden muss.

Burned-out after years of doing development work around the world, William Powers spent a season in a 12-foot-by-12-foot cabin off the grid in North Carolina, as recounted in his award-winning memoir Twelve by Twelve. Could he live a similarly minimalist life in the heart of New York City? To find out, Powers and his wife jettisoned 80 percent of their stuff, left their 2,000-square-foot Queens townhouse, and moved into a 350-square-foot "micro-apartment" in Greenwich Village. Downshifting to a two-day workweek, Powers explores the viability of Slow Food and Slow Money, technology fasts and urban sanctuaries. Discovering a colorful cast of New Yorkers attempting to resist the culture of Total Work, Powers offers an inspiring exploration for anyone trying to make urban life more people- and planet-friendly.
