Foodscapes, Foodfields, And Identities In Yucatan
by Steffan Igor Ayora-DiazThe state of Yucatán has its own distinct culinary tradition, and local people are constantly thinking and talking about food. They use it as a vehicle for social relations but also to distinguish themselves from "Mexicans." This book examines the politics surrounding regional cuisine, as the author argues that Yucatecan gastronomy has been created and promoted in an effort to affirm the identity of a regional people and to oppose the hegemonic force of central Mexican cultural icons and forms. In particular, Yucatecan gastronomy counters the homogenizing drive of a national cuisine based on dominant central Mexican appetencies and defies the image of Mexican national cuisine as rooted in indigenous traditions. Drawing on post-structural and postcolonial theory, the author proposes that Yucatecan gastronomy - having successfully gained a reputation as distinct and distant from 'Mexican' cuisine - is a bifurcation from regional culinary practices. However, the author warns, this leads to a double, paradoxical situation that divides the nation: while a national cuisine attempts to silence regional cultural diversity, the fissures in the project of a homogeneous regional identity are revealed.

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.
