Recenzii
Proteins, Pathologies and Politics makes an important contribution to histories of food and nutrition, and more broadly, health and science. Each chapter can be consumed on its own as a snack or as part of the whole as a well-balanced meal, and each . provides a great deal of insight into how what we ate can often tell us about who we were.
This volume features papers from a 2016 conference that offer compelling narratives of food and health within contexts of changing ideologies, economics, industrialization, and gender roles over almost 200 years . The volume is well framed by an introduction and a final chapter on the ambivalence that remains over food additives. All chapters are well-written and extensively referenced, with 44 pages of endnotes and a 30-page bibliography . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty and professionals.
