Allen demonstrates that the everyday activity of eating offers deep insights into human beings' biological and cultural heritage. We humans eat a wide array of plants and animals, but unlike other omnivores we eat with our minds as much as our stomachs. This thoughtful relationship with food is part of what makes us a unique species, and makes culinary cultures diverse. Not even our closest primate relatives think about food in the way Homo sapiens does. We are superomnivores whose palates reflect the natural history of our species. Drawing on the work of food historians and chefs, anthropologists and neuroscientists, Allen starts out with the diets of our earliest ancestors, explores cooking's role in our evolving brain, and moves on to the preoccupations of contemporary foodies. The Omnivorous Mind delivers insights into food aversions and cravings, our compulsive need to label foods as good or bad, dietary deviation from "healthy" food pyramids, and cross-cultural attitudes toward eating (with the French, bien sūr, exemplifying the pursuit of gastronomic pleasure).To explain, for example, the worldwide popularity of crispy foods, Allen considers first the food habits of our insect-eating relatives. He also suggests that the sound of crunch may stave off dietary boredom by adding variety to sensory experience. Or perhaps fried foods, which we think of as bad for us, interject a frisson of illicit pleasure. When it comes to eating, Allen shows, there's no one way to account for taste. 606 $aBrain$xEvolution 606 $aCognition 606 $aDiet$xPsychological aspects 606 $aFood habits$xPsychological aspects 606 $aFood$xPsychological aspects 606 $aHuman evolution 606 $aNutrition$xPsychological aspects 606 $aOmnivores 615 0$aBrain$xEvolution. 615 0$aCognition. 615 0$aDiet$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aFood habits$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aFood$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aHuman evolution. 615 0$aNutrition$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aOmnivores. 676 $a616.85/26 700 $aAllen$b John S$g(John Scott),$f1961-$01811816 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955324603321 996 $aThe omnivorous mind$94366748 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04517nam 22005414a 450 001 9910964302403321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-59726-840-2 010 $a1-4356-0642-6 035 $a(CKB)1000000000479613 035 $a(EBL)3317423 035 $a(Perlego)3287493 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3317423 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000479613 100 $a20060327d2006 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aBridging scales and knowledge systems $econcepts and applications in ecosystem assessment /$fedited by Walter V.

This book brings together a group of world-class scientists in an unprecedented effort to build a formal framework for linking local and indigenous knowledge with the global scientific enterprise.Contributors explore the challenges, costs, and benefits of bridging scales and knowledge systems in assessment processes and in resource management. Case studies look at a variety of efforts to bridge scales, providing important lessons concerning what has worked, what has not, and the costs and benefits associated with those efforts. Drawing on the groundbreaking work of the Millennium Eco-system Assessment, Bridging Scales and Knowledge Systems will be indispensable for future efforts to conduct ecosystem assessments around the world. 410 0$aMillennium Ecosystem Assessment series. 606 $aEcosystem management 606 $aHuman ecology 615 0$aEcosystem management. 615 0$aHuman ecology. 676 $a333.95 701 $aReid$b Walter V.$f1956-$0110670 712 02$aMillennium Ecosystem Assessment (Program) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964302403321 996 $aBridging scales and knowledge systems$94361020 997 $aUNINA
