Book Description
Rachel Laudan tells the remarkable story of the rise and fall of the world’s great cuisines—from the mastery of grain cooking some twenty thousand years ago, to the present—in this superbly researched book. Probing beneath the apparent confusion of dozens of cuisines to reveal the underlying simplicity of the culinary family tree, she shows how periodic seismic shifts in “culinary philosophy”—beliefs about health, the economy, politics, society and the gods—prompted the construction of new cuisines, a handful of which, chosen as the cuisines of empires, came to dominate the globe. Cuisine and Empire shows how merchants, missionaries, and the military took cuisines over mountains, oceans, deserts, and across political frontiers. Laudan’s innovative narrative treats cuisine, like language, clothing, or architecture, as something constructed by humans. By emphasizing how cooking turns farm products into food and by taking the globe rather than the nation as the stage, she challenges the agrarian, romantic, and nationalistic myths that underlie the contemporary food movement.

Book Description
Conventional wisdom says that the world is heading for a major water crisis. By 2050, global population will increase from 7 billion to a staggering 9.5 billion and the demands this will place on food and water systems will inevitably push river basins over the edge. The findings from this book present a different picture. While it is convenient to visualize an inevitable global water and food crisis in which increasing demands result in increasing poverty, food insecurity and conflict, the reality is far more nuanced and revolves around the politics of equitable and sustainable development of resources. The first part of this book provides detailed insight into conditions of water flows within nine river basins. In the second part, authors summarize and re-analyze the outcome of the nine basins, providing a coherent global picture of water, water productivity and development. They assess the impacts of variations of these attributes on development and approaches for poverty alleviation, and explore the institutional factors that support or obstruct change. How people will manage river systems while protecting vital ecosystem functions will make the difference between catastrophe and survival. As Prof Asit Biswas points out, "... the world is facing a water crisis not because of physical scarcity of water but because of poor management practices in nearly all countries of the world." The book is based on the four years (2006-2010) of extensive research into the state of ten of the world’s major river basins carried out under the CGIAR Challenge Program for Water and Food’s Basin Focal Project. This book was published as a special issue of Water International.

Book Description
This book utilizes cuisine to understand the construction of the colonial middle class in Bengal who indigenized new culinary experiences as a result of colonial modernity. This process of indigenization developed certain social practices, including imagination of the act of cooking as a classic feminine act and the domestic kitchen as a sacred space. The process of indigenization was an aesthetic choice that was imbricated in the upper caste and patriarchal agenda of the middle-class social reform. However, in these acts of imagination, there were important elements of continuity from the pre-colonial times. The book establishes the fact that Bengali cuisine cannot be labeled as indigenist although it never became widely commercialized. The point was to cosmopolitanize the domestic and yet keep its tag of 'Bengaliness'. The resultant cuisine was hybrid, in many senses like its makers.

Book Description
SOME LIKE IT HOT. OTHERS LIKE IT TO HURT. Max Little is a traveling gourmand in worn boots and a Bob Marley T-shirt. It's 1999, and Max is a certified heat freak, a chile-head whose love of spice has taken him across the globe. His hot sauce emporium in Laguna Beach, Little's House of Fire, stocks sauces and spicy goods from around the world, and he and the other chile-heads with whom he does business comprise an underground network called the 'Ring of Fire.' After Max is approached by Nickolai Gasanov, a mysterious officer from the Kyrgyzstan Ministry of Agriculture, his world is turned upside down when word of a new variety of chile pepper is revealed - a relic of the ancient Silk Road hidden in the valleys of the Tien Shan mountains of Central Asia. A chile with reputedly euphoric properties, it ignites the lively and offbeat characters in the Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire follows Max across continents in search of the mythical Fire of the Valley chile. From Santa Fe to Louisiana, Chicago, and across India, China, and Kyrgyzstan, his journey becomes a piquant global odyssey. Along the way, he encounters a tapestry of colorful characters linked to his quest: Jesus Jones, a legendary Louisiana pepper farmer; Lilah DeVillier, a beguiling creole doctoral student who's an expert in chiles; voodoo Priestess Delphine Anjou; Jahnu Angami of the headhunting Angami tribe in Northeast India; and massive Nazaat Buntun, fierce guardian of the Kyrgyz pepper myth. All the while, he's being pursued by two menacing former Russian commandos in the employ of Kyrgyzstan's notorious gangster Ruslan Bakiyev, who craves the pepper profits for himself. The Ring of Fire entertainingly explores the history of chile peppers, their spread across the world, and their impact upon the cultures of which they have indelibly become a part. Enlisted early on in his journey by New Mexico State University, Max is also on a quest to be the first to verify the existence of the scorching Naga Jolokia, or Ghost Pepper, an authentic chile discovered in remote Northeastern India in the late nineties. A chile so potent its Scoville heat rating is reportedly triple that of any other known variety. The race is on as Max encounters unforgettable people, incredible meals, exotic locations, and extraordinary experiences pursuing his passion. If you relish the irreverent foodie fiction of Peter Mayle and Anthony Bourdain, then this story is for you. The Ring of Fire is a gustatory delight for food lovers, history buffs, armchair travelers, and romantics.
