Colonial Food in Interwar Paris

Autor: Lauren Janes

Número de Páginas: 235

In the wake of the First World War, in which France suffered severe food shortages, colonial produce became an increasingly important element of the French diet. The colonial lobby seized upon these foodstuffs as powerful symbols of the importance of the colonial project to the life of the French nation. But how was colonial food really received by the French public? And what does this tell us about the place of empire in French society? In Colonial Food in Interwar Paris, Lauren Janes disputes the claim that empire was central to French history and identity, arguing that the distrust of colonial food reflected a wider disinterest in the empire. From Indochinese rice to North African grains and tropical fruit to curry powder, this book offers an intriguing and original challenge to current orthodoxy about the centrality of empire to modern France by examining the place of colonial foods in the nation's capital.

M.C. Escher’s Legacy

Autor: Michele Emmer , Doris Schattschneider

Número de Páginas: 489

From the reviews of the hardcover edition: ... This conference [... to celebrate the centennial of the birth of Escher] resulted in an immensely interesting collection of articles ... Although Escher himself is no longer among us, M.C.Escher's Legacy, like a garden of continually blooming flowers, allows us to appreciate his heritage anew. Notices of the AMS April 2003 ... It is a handsome volume, and contains articles from 41 people, which cover a wide range of artistic and analytical endeavour. ... A quick dip into each section produces small gems. ... there is enough here to provide rich pickings for any interested party, no matter what their particular discipline is. Embedded in the various articles are even snippets which illuminate Escher's intentions, and his relationships with his mathematician friends ... Even though short, these are rewarding to read. ... the CD-ROM ... is an excellent addition to the book, and contains much more material, including "video" excerpts from some of the lectures."

Grimes Graves, Norfolk Volume I

Autor: R J Mercer

Número de Páginas: 142

This report describes the results of excavations carried out in 1971 and 1972 by Mr R J Mercer for the Department of the Environment, or a previously undisturbed flint mine shaft at Grimes Graves in the Parish of Weeting, Norfolk. One Neolithic flint mine shaft, dating to around 1800bc, was totally excavated and a substantial surface area around the shaft examined. Much valuable information was subsequently recovered concerning the method of flint extraction and the social organisation of the mining community. A detailed account of the worked flint is published in volume II. The excavations at Grimes Graves also revealed evidence of a secondary phase of occupation of the site. During the Middle Bronze Age, a midden had accumulated in the surface of a second flint mine shaft – analysis of the considerable amount of midden debris produced a comprehensive picture of the economy and nature of this later occupation of around 1100bc. The volume contains important contributions by specialists on various topics including the pottery and the environmental evidence.
