Foodways and Empathy: Relatedness in a Ramu River Society, Papua New Guinea
by Anita Von PoserThrough the sharing of food, people feel entitled to inquire into one another's lives and ponder one another's states in relation to their foodways. This in-depth study focuses on the Bosmun of Daiden, a Ramu River people in an under-represented area in the ethnography of Papua New Guinea, uncovering the conceptual convergence of local notions of relatedness, foodways, and empathy. In weaving together discussions about paramount values as passed on through myth, the expression of feelings in daily life, and the bodily experience of social and physical environs, a life-world unfolds in which moral, emotional, and embodied foodways contribute notably to the creation of relationships. Concerned with unique processes of "making kin," the book adds a distinct case to recent debates about relatedness and empathy and sheds new light onto the conventional anthropological themes of food production, sharing, and exchange.

For The Love of Hops: The Practical Guide to Aroma, Bitterness and the Culture of Hops (Brewing Elements)
by Stan HieronymusHops, once a marginal player in modern brewing, have risen to iconic status thanks to the American craft beer revolution. In For the Love of Hops Stan Hieronymus explores the rich history, cultivation, and science behind this essential brewing ingredient. Hops have a long and mysterious past. Hieronymus unpacks their story with a discerning eye, separating fact from myth through deep research into historical records, scientific studies, and interviews with experts and growers. His work offers a compelling, wide-ranging look at how hops evolved from a supporting player to a defining feature in beer. From field to fermenter, the path of the hop is anything but simple. Hieronymus blends technical details—such as hop anatomy and growth cycles—with firsthand stories from farming families who&’ve cultivated hops for generations. He leads readers through historic and emerging growing regions: Germany, the Czech Republic, England, the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand. Along the way, he illustrates the challenges growers face, from crop diseases to shifting market demands. Hieronymus also provides a catalog of over 100 hop varieties, from noble Old World types like Saaz and Tettnang to bold New World stars like Cascade, Amarillo, and Nelson Sauvin. Each entry includes vital stats and insights on flavor, aroma, and usage. Once harvested, hops unlock a brewer&’s full creative range. The book dives into their essential compounds—alpha and beta acids—and how they influence bitterness, flavor stability, and aroma. Hieronymus breaks down a variety of hopping techniques, including: Early &Late Additions – How timing shapes flavor. First Wort Hopping – Adding hops before the boil. Hop Bursting & Continuous Hopping – Techniques for maximizing aroma. Dry Hopping – A full chapter dedicated to this aromatic art, from 19th-century England to today&’s cutting-edge methods like hop rockets and torpedoes. He also explores how the perception of bitterness varies by individual and how exposure to heavily hopped beers can change our taste preferences—a phenomenon known as the &“lupulin shift.&” The development and meaning of IBUs (International Bitterness Units) are explained in context, helping demystify a widely misunderstood metric. To ground theory in practice, the book features 16 beer recipes from renowned breweries in the U.S., Belgium, Germany, England, New Zealand, and more. These recipes reveal how top brewers use hops to shape character and balance.For the Love of Hops is both educational and inspiring—a must-read for brewers, beer lovers, and anyone interested in the flower that changed beer forever.

For the Love of Wine: My Odyssey through the World's Most Ancient Wine Culture
by Alice FeiringIn 2011 when Alice Feiring first arrived in Georgia, she felt as if she’d emerged from the magic wardrobe into a world filled with mythical characters making exotic and delicious wine with the low-tech methods of centuries past. She was smitten, and she wasn’t alone. This country on the Black Sea has an unusual effect on people; the most passionate rip off their clothes and drink wines out of horns while the cold-hearted well up with tears and make emotional toasts. Visiting winemakers fall under Georgia’s spell and bring home qvevris (clay fermentation vessels) while rethinking their own techniques. <p><p> But, as in any good fairy tale, Feiring sensed that danger rode shotgun with the magic. With acclaim and growing international interest come threats in the guise of new wine consultants aimed at making wines more commercial. So Feiring fought back in the only way she knew how: by celebrating Georgia and the men and women who make the wines she loves most, those made naturally with organic viticulture, minimal intervention, and no additives. From Tbilisi to Batumi, Feiring meets winemakers, bishops, farmers, artists, and silk spinners. She feasts, toasts, and collects recipes. She encounters the thriving qvevri craftspeople of the countryside, wild grape hunters, and even Stalin’s last winemaker while plumbing the depths of this tiny country’s love for its wines. <p> For the Love of Wine is Feiring’s emotional tale of a remarkable country and people who have survived religious wars and Soviet occupation yet managed always to keep hold of their precious wine traditions. Embedded in the narrative is the hope that Georgia has the temerity to confront its latest threat—modernization.
