Hardback. Etat : Very Good. Featured on NPR's All Things Considered?A fascinating exploration of the central role legumes have played in shaping civilizations and cultures throughout history.??Julia Newberry, general manager of Rancho Gordo and co-author of the New York Times bestselling The Bean BookFrom ancient empires to modern kitchens, discover how twelve humble beans have quietly changed the world in vast and unimaginable ways.In A History of the World in Twelve Beans, food writer and history buff Joël Broekaert reveals how beans have profoundly shaped human history, culture, and society, through millennia and across continents.Beans have been long dismissed as the ?common person?s food??a cheap and nutritious form of protein that replaces expensive meat?and are often the butt of jokes about flatulence (enough to make some Greek philosophers forbid their followers from eating them). But beans, as Broekaert shows, are surprisingly mighty. Fava beans helped pull medieval Europe out of the Dark Ages and fuel a population boom. While soy powered the Chinese empire, thanks to the culinary innovations that turned a nearly indigestible bean into delicious miso, soy sauce, and tofu.The story of beans is also a story of colonialism, exploitation, and survival. The common bean, originating in the Americas and central to the diet of many Indigenous Peoples, crossed the Atlantic as part of the ?Columbian exchange? of new foods?along with devastating diseases that decimated Indigenous populations. Cocoa and coffee beans became engines of colonial wealth, slavery, and revolution. Yet beans can also be a symbol of hope. Black-eyes peas, carried to the Americas with enslaved Africans, became a soul food staple and an emblem of Black emancipation. Today, beans are even being promoted as a solution to climate change and food insecurity, with high-tech meat substitutes made from lupin beans in the works.Blending botany, anthropology, culture, economics, and environmental issues, A History of the World in Twelve Beans is a witty, surprising, and eye-opening tour of world history as told through legumes. As Broekaert shows, beans have not only shaped human civilization; they might be a key to a sustainable future, too.…

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. De Antwerpse Kaaien. De Noormannen zetten dit gebied langs de Schelde in vuur en vlam. Durer en Van Gogh zwierven hier schetsend rond. Alva en Napoleon deden alsof ze op deze plek thuis waren. Congoboten vertelden er van ondoordringbare wouden. Miljoenen landverhuizers wuifden hier hun miserie vaarwel en prinsessen gingen er aan wal. In dit gebied werd een wereldhaven geboren, die later weer verdween. En wij? Wij parkeren er onze auto, bouwen er feestjes en laten er de hond uit. En 's avonds komen we, samen met ons lief, dromen aan de rand van de blauwe steen. Van een andere oever. Of van een leven dat hier wortel gaat schieten. De Scheldekaden zijn de wereld. Aan de vooravond van hun gedaantewisseling kijken we nog even nauwlettend in het rond. …
