Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In this Very Short Introduction, Prof Lord John Krebs provides a brief history of human food, from our remote ancestors 3 million years ago to the present day. By looking at the four great transitions in human food - cooking, agriculture, processing, and preservation - he considers a variety of questions, including why people like some kinds of foods and not others; how your senses contribute to flavour; the role of genetics in our likes and dislikes; and the differences in learning and culture around the world. In turn he considers aspects of diet, nutrition, and health, and the disparity between malnutrition in some places and overconsumption in others. Finally, he considers some of the big issues - the obesity crisis, sustainable agriculture, the role of new technologies such as genetic modification of crops, and ends by posing the question: how will it be possible to feed a population of 9 billion in 2050, without destroying our natural environment.…

Condición: As New. : En 'Food: A Very Short Introduction', el profesor Lord John Krebs ofrece una breve historia de la alimentación humana, desde nuestros ancestros remotos hace 3 millones de años hasta la actualidad. Analizando las cuatro grandes transiciones en la alimentación humana (la cocina, la agricultura, el procesamiento y la conservación), Krebs explora por qué a las personas les gustan algunos alimentos y no otros, cómo los sentidos contribuyen al sabor, el papel de la genética en nuestros gustos y aversiones, y las diferencias en el aprendizaje y la cultura en todo el mundo. También examina aspectos de la dieta, la nutrición y la salud, así como la disparidad entre la desnutrición en algunos lugares y el consumo excesivo en otros. Finalmente, aborda grandes problemas como la crisis de la obesidad, la agricultura sostenible y el papel de las nuevas tecnologías, como la modificación genética de los cultivos, y plantea la pregunta de cómo será posible alimentar a una población de 9 mil millones en 2050 sin destruir nuestro entorno natural.
