Softcover. Condición: Fine. As eating has become increasingly eroticized, politicized, fetishized, and heavily burdened with moral significance, Americans worry more about weight, calories, and cholesterol, as well as environmental, human, and animal exploitation, carcinogens, chemicals, tampering, and more. This wise and witty book urges readers to recognize food guilt appropriately and tells how to reconnect the pleasures of eating with social awareness.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 239-272) and index. Subjects: Ledyard, John (1751-1789) --Travel --Travelers --United States --Biography --Voyages and travels --History --18th century. Summary: Called a "man of genius" by his close friend Thomas Jefferson, John Ledyard lived, by any standard, a remarkable life. In his thirty-eight years, he accompanied Captain Cook on his last voyage; befriended Jefferson, Lafayette, and Tom Paine in Paris; was the first American citizen to see Alaska, Hawaii, and the west coast of America; and set out to find the source of the Niger by traveling from Cairo across the Sahara. His greatest dream, concocted with Jefferson, was to travel alone around the world and cross the American continent from the Pacific Northwest to the Atlantic. Catherine the Great dashed that dream when she had him arrested in deepest Siberia and escorted back to the Polish border. Ledyard wrote the definitive account of Cook's last voyage and his death at the hands of Hawaiian islanders, and formed a company with John Paul Jones that launched the American fur trade in the Pacific Northwest. Before the Revolution, Americans by and large didn't travel great distances, rarely venturing west of the Appalachians. Ledyard, with his boundless enthusiasm and wide-ranging intellect, changed all that. In lively prose, journalist James Zug tells the riveting story of this immensely influential character -a Ben Franklin with wanderlust-a uniquely American pioneer. 1 Kg.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1996). 1996 1st edition. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Ppxii,212. Colour and b/w photographs, illustrations. Blue cloth, spine titled in gilt. Good-plus in dust-wrapper. Publisher's information sheet laid in. "Water: A Natural History takes us back to the diaries of the first Western explorers; it moves from the reservoir to the modern toilet, from the grasslands of the Midwest to the Everglades of Florida, through the guts of a wastewater treatment plant and out to the waterways again. It shows how human-engineered dams, canals, and farms replaces natures beaver dams, prairie dog tunnels, and buffalo wallows. Step by step, Outwater makes clear what should have always been obvious: while engineering can depollute water, only ecologically interacting systems can create healthy waterways. An environmental engineer turned ecology writer relates the history of our waterways and her own growing understanding of why our waterways continue to be polluted and what needs to be done to save this essential natural resource. Important reading for students of environmental studies, the heart of this history is a vision of our land and waterways as they once were, and a plan that can restore them to their former glory: a land of living streams, public lands with hundreds of millions of beaver-built wetlands, prairie dog towns that increase the amount of rainfall that percolates to the groundwater, and forests that feed their fallen trees to the sea." .
