Food Society and Environment or Meat and Two Veg

Food, Society, and Environment

Author: Bryan F Le Beau

This book concerns itself with food and hunger issues, primarily in America, but also as America is located in both history and a broader global system today. It focuses on food consumption and production in relation to history, society (including politics and economics), environmental impacts, and some ethical and social justice issues surrounding food. Chapter topics look at: Food as a Human Value and Problem; The Biological Base: Food, Humans, and Well-Being; Food and History: From Hunter-Gatherers to the Preindustrial West; Food and America: Early Industrial Era Transformation; Food in America and the World 1945-2001: Continuing Transformations; Foodways, Eating and Cuisine in America; Food, Population, and Environment; and Food, Ethics, and Social Justice. For individuals who find food issues fascinating because of their relationship to universal and basic human concerns.

Booknews

Harper (Creighton U.) and Le Beau (U. of Missouri-Kansas City) write for readers who find the perspectives of the humanities and social sciences on food issues fascinating because they relate to universal and basic concerns, and for academics for whom food issues are important because they relate to other human concerns.

Strikingly designed, with mouthwatering photography from Glenfiddich Award-winning photographer Jason Lowe, this is a gift cookery book of the highest quality with all the potential to replicate the success of its predecessor, Sausage & Mash.
