Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

This book offers a study of what and how people ate in the Iberian Peninsula between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has long been recognized that Mediterranean cultures attach great importance to communal meals and food cooked with great refinement. However whilst medieval feasting in England France and Italy has been thoroughly studied Spain and Portugal have both been somewhat neglected in this area of study. This volume analyses how medieval men of the Iberian Peninsula questioned themselves about different aspects deemed important in social feasting. It investigates the acquisition of table manners and rhetorical skills the interaction between medicine and eating and the presence of food in literature and religion. The book also shows how this shared society and culture as well as their attitude towards food connected them to a Western European tradition. The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature history language art religion and medicine and to those interested in a social cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. | Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

This book offers the first non-official history of French nuclear policies which goes beyond the divide between nuclear weapons and nuclear energy policies. It addresses the sizing of France’s nuclear forces technological assistance to countries with nuclear weapons programs uranium prospection nuclear testing its health effects and protests against it as well as plans to prevent and manage accidents in nuclear power plants. It is based on new questions and new sources from France and abroad. The chapters in this volume show how independent and interdisciplinary scholarship free from conflicts of interests can uniquely advance our understanding of nuclear history and politics. This is the case because it does not treat the categories and judgments of official discourse as neutral starting points of the analysis. This volume is based on untapped primary sources from France the UK the US India South Africa and Iran on a new assessment of the health consequences of French nuclear testing in Polynesia thanks to a modern atmospheric particle transport code coupled with historical weather data open-source information about radioactive debris (“mushroom”) clouds as well as data on the composition and particle sizes of the fallout; and on new survey data about French knowledge of and attitudes towards nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. They show notably that the first generation of French nuclear forces lacked technical credibility despite reliance on outside help. Several French officials knew this as did France's allies and adversaries. Moreover French strategic collaborations associated to nuclear programs extended to India and South Africa; nuclear safety regulations changed fundamentally after the Cold War and approximately 110 000 people i. e. 90% of the French Polynesian population in the 1970s could have received doses that would qualify them for compensation according to French law. The volume will be of interest to scholars and students of history politics international relations military history war studies conflict and global governance. Most of the chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue in Cold War History. A few chapters were first published in the Nonproliferation Review Diplomacy & Statecraft and Science & Global Security. | Nuclear France New Questions New Sources New Findings

Handbook of Plant and Animal Toxins in Food Occurrence Toxicity and Prevention

Handbook of Plant and Animal Toxins in Food Occurrence Toxicity and Prevention

The prevalence of naturally occurring toxins in plant and animal foods represents one of the most significant food safety issues drawing the attention of both scientists and regulators alike. This unexplored area related to food quality is indeed a big concern for consumers various regulatory authorities and food industries. Apart from essential nutrients several food crops are capable of producing a vast array of nonnutritious secondary metabolic products. These toxins produced as secondary metabolites have the potential to exhibit both beneficial and deleterious effects in both human beings and animals. Nevertheless there has been huge progress in agricultural practices and food processing technologies but still the number of nonnutritive substances and naturally derived toxins persist in our diet. Handbook of Plant and Animal Toxins in Food: Occurrence Toxicity and Prevention focuses on various selected toxins in foods derived from plants as well as animals. The prominent plant toxins include solanine and chaconine mushroom toxins phytates tannins oxalates goitrogens gossypol phytohemagglutinins erucic acid saponins cyanogenic glycosides enzyme inhibitors BOAA (lathyrogens) toxic amino acids and toxic fatty acids. The prominent animal toxins covered in the book include various seafood toxins shellfish toxins and biogenic amines. Key Features: Presents complete information about a plethora of toxins Provides quick and easy access to data on major plant and animal toxins Covers distribution of toxins in the plant and animal kingdom Provides comprehensive information on chemistry safety and precautions of each toxin Commencing with a brief introduction of food toxins this book is designed in such a way that the readers will be introduced to toxicity safety and occurrence of each toxin selected. It also discusses the in-depth detailed information on food poisoning and its prevention. The book will also shed light on foodborne illness associated with toxins.
