Ihre Fans wird es nicht überraschen: Die Katze zählt nicht nur zu den beliebtesten Haustieren– sie hat sich seit ihren Ursprüngen in Afrika auch zu einer der erfolgreichsten Spezies auf dem Planeten entwickelt. Jonathan B. Losos, vielfach ausgezeichneter Evolutionsbiologe und begeisterter Katzenbesitzer, erläutert unterhaltsam, was die Wissenschaft über Herkunft und Verhalten der Hauskatze weiß.

"Gli manca solo la parola." È questo che dicono di Pepe, il cane di Edo, quando lo osservano. Con un pizzico di presunzione antropocentrica pensano di capirlo e credono che lui possa provare invidia per la condizione umana, così eretta e loquace. Ma come si può entrare nella mente dell'altro e raccontarne i pensieri, le paure e i desideri, senza necessariamente inquinarli con la propria prospettiva? Edo lo sa, lo sa benissimo, che non potrà mai fare proprio il punto di vista dell'adorato Pepe.

Il cibo è cultura perché ha inventato e trasformato il mondo. È cultura quando si produce, quando si prepara, quando si consuma. È il frutto della nostra identità e uno strumento per esprimerla e comunicarla. Una grande opera di sintesi da uno dei massimi storici dell'alimentazione. Massimo Montanari insegna Storia medievale e Storia dell'alimentazione all'Università di Bologna.

Vivimos rodeados de plástico, ajenos a su toxicidad.

Yurena González lleva años viviendo una vida más eco, sin plástico y sin generar basura, y sin renunciar un ápice a su comodidad. ¿Cómo lo ha conseguido?

Breaking the Chain began with Allyson Reedy wanting to eat better-tasting, more adventurous food. After watching friends, family, and strangers eat unsatisfactory meal after meal at chain restaurants and get fatter as a result, she wondered how we could break this chain of mediocrity, obesity, and commercialism. So in 2009, Allyson Reedy stopped eating meals, snacks, and goodies from the kinds of restaurants that line America’s streets and dominate our stomachs.

Il gatto è un dio. Come un dio, prova un senso di inconfondibile distacco nei confronti dell'uomo, che osserva in un silenzio misterioso. Il gatto è una creatura della notte. Con demoni e spiriti condivide malizie e seduzione, e una crudeltà giocosa che lascia insieme affascinati e turbati. Il gatto è il più antico abitante del nostro immaginario. Altero, solitario, opportunista. Nonostante millenni di convivenza, nessuno di noi può dire di conoscerlo davvero.

We share our lives, for better or worse, with a multitude of animals: white-tailed deer and white-tailed eagles, hens and wrens, frogs and guppies, and, last but hardly least, bugs and bacteria. For the most part, we drift along separately, with neither man nor animal affecting the other's way of life. Sometimes, however, we fall in love - as in the case of the cat in the title - or otherwise encounter our animal neighbors in ways that change both of us.

Focusing on contemporary practices, The Culinary Imagination traces the social, aesthetic, and political history of food from myth to modernity, from ancient sources to our current wave of food mania. What does it mean to transform raw stuff into cooked dishes, which then become part of our own bodies; to savor festive meals yet resolve to renounce gluttony; to act as predators where in another life we might have become prey?

Why a unicycle? Why a cross-country trip? Why leave a prominent New York magazine and return to the simple life in Kentucky? Reminiscent of classic literary travelogues, Mark Schimmoeller's Slowspoke: A Unicyclist's Guide to America takes listeners on an inward, emotional journey as he inches across landscapes and communities from North Carolina to Arizona. Schimmoeller became inspired by his unicycle as an adolescent.

Amatriciana, pesto, ragù alla bolognese, lasagne, pasta ripiena, gnocchi. Siamo tutti convinti di conoscere alla perfezione come si preparano questi piatti, e cosa prevede “la tradizione”. Ma se scoprissimo che l'italianissima carbonara è nata negli Stati Uniti e che la ricetta “tradizionale" (guanciale, uova, pecorino, niente panna) è apparsa solo alla fine degli anni sessanta? E che invece le fettuccine Alfredo, considerate simbolo di posticcia cucina italoamericana, sono in realtà nate nella Roma dell'Ottocento?

The key to Jason Epstein's long and happy life in food is that if you want to eat well, cook it yourself. Moreover, he believes that you never make the same dish twice, that recipes are constantly changing, and nothing is written in stone. So what he gives us in this delicious little book are stories interwoven with recipes - of growing up in Maine, harvesting clams and oysters and lobsters, of working in a hamburger joint, of sailing to Europe, settling in the New York of yesterday and now in his current Manhattan world on the edge of Chinatown.
