Taste: A Literary History

Taste: A Literary History

Taste: A Literary History
Prof. Denise Gigante | ISBN: 0300106521 | PDF | 272 pages | 2005 | 2 MB

What does eating have to do with aesthetic taste? While most accounts of aesthetic history avoid the gustatory aspects of taste, this book rewrites standard history to uncover the constitutive and dramatic tension between appetite and aesthetics at the heart of British literary tradition. From Milton through the Romantics, the metaphor of taste serves to mediate aesthetic judgment and consumerism, gusto and snobbery, gastronomes and gluttons, vampires and vegetarians, as well as the philosophy and physiology of food.

The author advances a theory of taste based on Milton’s model of the human as consumer (and digester) of food, words, and other commodities—a consumer whose tasteful, subliminal self remains haunted by its own corporeality. Radically rereading Wordsworth’s feeding mind, Lamb’s gastronomical essays, Byron’s cannibals and other deviant diners, and Kantian nausea, Taste resituates Romanticism as a period that naturally saw the rise of the restaurant and the pleasures of the table as a cultural field for the practice of aesthetics.

Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia: Protostomes

Sean F. Craig, Dennis A. Thoney, Neil Schlager, Michael Hutchins, Joseph E. Trumpey, «Grzimek's Animal Life Encyclopedia: Protostomes»
Gale | ISBN: 0787657786 | 2003 | PDF | 569 pages | 47.86 MB

“

Earth is teeming with life. No one knows exactly how many distinct organisms inhabit our planet, but more than 5 million different species of animals and plants could exist, ranging from microscopic algae and bacteria to gigantic elephants, redwood trees and blue whales. Yet, throughout this wonderful tapestry of living creatures, there runs a single thread: Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA. The existence of DNA, an elegant, twisted organic molecule that is the building block of all life, is perhaps the best evidence that all living organisms on this planet share a common ancestry. Our ancient connection to the living world may drive our curiosity, and perhaps also explain our seemingly insatiable desire for information about animals and nature.

In the process they would not only learn the interrelation of environment and biology, but also the importance of ethics in the care of children and the need for physicians to work with others to solve the health care problems of America's children.'

100 Strangest Mysteries

Barnes & Noble | May 2007 | ISBN:0760791929 | PDF | 201 pages | 24,6 Mb

Were the Amityville hauntings cynical media manipulation? Is levitation possible? Has Earth been visited by UFOs from other realms? All these questions, and more, are considered in 100 Strangest Mysteries. Paranormal investigator Matt Lamy documents in detail the numerous phenomena and events which can be termed 'mysterious' and cannot be dismissed as mere hysteria or wild imaginings.

Divided into themed sections, the book includes:

The Beast of Bodmin — whether it is an escaped exotic pet, a feral cat or something more sinister, it certainly causes concern for inhabitants of its local area
Area 51 — conspiracy theorists believe it is a centre for the U.S. government's investigations into UFO activity, whilst others consider it to be 'only' a military air base
Ley lines and other energy fields — are they sacred sites going back thousands of years or modern New Age notions?
The Holy Grail — dismissed by organized religion, thought by some to have been a chalice brought to Britain by Joseph, many consider it to be nothing more than a romantic Arthurian legend...
