Texas Tech Press,U.S. Pedritos World
Book SynopsisMeet six-year-old Pedrito, who lives on a South Texas farm with his mother, father, and sister. The year is 1941, and except for a trip to the city of San Antonio, Pedrito's life is the farm and the school he attends. This title tells his story that presents a window on the lives and culture of a Mexican family living and working in South Texas.Trade ReviewPedrito's World, a memoir-based children's novel by Arturo O. Martinez, was a finalist in the 2008 Western Writers of America 2008 Spur Awards Competitions. The award ceremony was held in Scottsdale, Arizona on June 13. ""Set in 1941 in rural south Texas ... the stories that six-year-old Pedrito relates illuminate his family and world... Perhaps it is the author's background in journalism that enables him to tell tales of his childhood so vividly that readers will be moved, and not by sentimentality but through clean writing and well-chosen details that breathe life into the characters and give heft to the setting.""

MJ - Ohio University Press Stirring the Pot
Book SynopsisStirring the Pot offers a chronology of African cuisine beginning in the sixteenth century and continuing from Africa’s original edible endowments to its globalization, tracing cooks’ use of new crops, spices, and New World imports. It highlighting the relationship between food and the culture, history, and national identity of Africans.Trade Review“A lively and engaging history of African food, cooking, and culinary cultures found within the continent and beyond. Indispensable reading for anyone interested in African history, the African diaspora, food studies, and women's contributions to culinary history.”“In this compelling study, James C. McCann provides a profound and novel way to examine history and historical change not only in Africa but also in the Atlantic basin…. This book allows readers to peek into the African cooking pot in order to better understand the constituent parts and nuances of African cuisine, as shaped by geography, history, trade across ecological zones, and migration (forced and voluntary) across oceans (Atlantic, Pacific, and the Mediterranean).” * American Historical Review *“(Stirring the Pot) makes the reader both intellectually and physically hungry.” * Canadian Journal of History *“Stirring the Pot is a welcome addition to the sparse literature on African history, food and foodways, and popular culture…. The book is aimed at a wide audience, ranging from mature secondary-school students through undergraduates and general readers, but graduate students and academics will also find its detailed documentation helpful.” * Gastronomica *“Published as part of an Africa in World History series brought out by an academic press, Ohio University Press, and aimed primarily at students and scholars, Stirring the Pot nonetheless considers a large swath of the world’s foodways and history in a valuable and, for many readers, new way. Despite the foodie fever currently gripping the culture, there doesn’t appear to be a whole lot out there about African cuisine….” * Wilson Quarterly, “From the Editors” *“(McCann’s) close reading of a feast offered in 1887 by Tatyu, the wife of Ethiopian king Menelik II, is an exemplary investigation of stat patronage and Ethiopian cuisine. The author’s use of details is eye-catching…. There has been a desperate need for this kind of study for over two decades, so McCann has done African studies a service by writing such a readable book.” * Notes & Records *“The author of the Gourmand award-winning book Stirring the Pot is one of the biggest experts when it comes to the agricultural and cooking history of Africa.” * Gourmand Magazine *“The strongest part of (Stirring the Pot) is its resistance to any fixed notion of ‘traditional’ or ‘authentic’ food, and McCann’s recognition that understanding food requires bringing together ecology, history, politics, and trade.” * International Journal of African Historical Studies *“Historian McCann alters the typical proportions of books on food, with 27 select recipes supplementing generous portions of the history of cuisine in Africa and beyond. The author emphasizes disparate influences on Africa’s foodways, including encounters between the continent’s peoples and states along with seminal transformations wrought by post-1492 global circulation of crops…. Summing Up: Highly recommended.” * Choice: Current Reviews for Academic Libraries *“Well-written, clear, and informative, Stirring the Pot provides a compelling, readable history of food and cuisine in Africa… a remarkable book.”“For this huge undertaking, McCann focuses on the ways trade, politics, colonialism, and diaspora have shaped a dynamic and enduring gastronomic mélange. Maize, for example, came to Ethiopia via the Arab Red Sea trade and to West Africa from the West Indies in the 16th century, yet didn’t become the continent’s dominant cereal crop until the 20th century. Cheap and filling, maize made economic sense.” * Wilson Quarterly, from the review *“Stirring the Pot addresses the importance of food in interpreting culture and social history in Africa and in those areas of the world touched by African immigrants…. (A)n interesting and informative book that will appeal to a broad audience and is worth the read.” * Popular Anthropology *

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Hildegard of Bingens Medicine
Book SynopsisHildegard of Bingen, a major twelfth-century mystic and prophet, began having divinely inspired visions at the age of six. These visions continued throughout her life and were the source of highly honored information on healing through a multidimensional approach to the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Widely accepted by physicians and religious healers of her time, Hildegard’s work was lost over the centuries, and has only recently been reborn through the work of the authors of this book. Hildegard of Bingen’s Medicine is a groundbreaking contribution to medicine and healing. It contains translations of Hildegard text which reflect the high point of medieval, alchemical, and healing science. In addition, these translations are commented upon by authors who have worked clinically with Hildegard’s wisdom for thirty years. Many will find this book to contain profound, long lost spiritual teachings. Hildegard’s deep understanding of nature--trees, herbs, an
