Gary Paul Nabhan takes the reader on a vivid and far-ranging journey across time and space in this fascinating look at the relationship between the spice trade and culinary imperialism. Drawing on his own family’s history as spice traders, as well as travel narratives, historical accounts, and his expertise as an ethnobotanist, Nabhan describes the critical roles that Semitic peoples and desert floras had in setting the stage for globalized spice trade.<BR /><BR /> Traveling along four prominent trade routes—the Silk Road, the Frankincense Trail, the Spice Route, and the Camino Real (for chiles and chocolate)—Nabhan follows the caravans of itinerant spice merchants from the frankincense-gathering grounds and ancient harbors of the Arabian Peninsula to the port of Zayton on the China Sea to Santa Fe in the southwest United States. His stories, recipes, and linguistic analyses of cultural diffusion routes reveal the extent to which aromatics such as cumin, cinnamon, saffron, and peppers became adopted worldwide as signature ingredients of diverse cuisines. <I>Cumin, Camels, and Caravans</I> demonstrates that two particular desert cultures often depicted in constant conflict—Arabs and Jews—have spent much of their history collaborating in the spice trade and suggests how a more virtuous multicultural globalized society may be achieved in the future.<BR /><BR /><BR />

Following Phyllida Law’s wonderful and acclaimed ‘Notes to my Mother-in-Law’ – which comically and tenderly documented the author’s relationship with her husband’s mother who lived with the family for 17 years – we now have a chronicle of Phyllida’s relationship with her own mother who suffered from dementia. Recently widowed, bringing up her own two daughters (actresses Emma and Sophie Thompson) and working as a successful actress herself, Phyllida went up and down to Scotland to spend as much time with her ailing mother as she could manage. During the period she kept a lively and frank journal noting many of the sad yet funny examples of her mother’s faltering grip on reality. The journal includes reminiscences of her own childhood and the tragic death of her only brother.This book promises to be just as warm and moving as her first and will also be beautifully enhanced by the author’s illustrations.

Chris, eine erfahrene, selbstbestimmte Endvierzigerin, wird eines Tages von ihrem langjahrigen Lover eiskalt abserviert. Als Antwort auf die Frage: «Das kann doch noch nicht alles gewesen sein?» erfindet sie sich und ihre Sexualitat neu. In den unendlichen Weiten des Internets geht sie auf die Suche nach hei?en Abenteuern. Dabei lernt sie ihr libidinoses Alter Ego Eva kennen. Die Kunstfigur Eva entwickelt sich zur Femme fatale, die ihre sexuelle Kraft voll zur Entfaltung bringt, wildfremden Mannern ihre schamlosesten Fantasien offenbart und sich mit Hingabe von einigen Auserwahlten ficken lasst. Herz, Hirn, Humor und ein gro?er Schwanz, diese Kombination lasst Evas Hoschen feucht werden. "Ob du wohl daran Gefallen findest, dass meine Muschi nicht nur sehr nass wird, wenn du sie entsprechend verwohnst, sondern dass sie so richtig abspritzt und dass sie davon nicht genug bekommen kann?" Dieser Satz ist der Speck in ihrer virtuellen Mannerfalle. Eine wollustige Fantasie nach der anderen wird umgesetzt und Chris alias Eva leckt Blut. Nun will sie es wissen und ihre gewagteste Fantasie in die Tat umsetzen: Sich ans Bett gefesselt mit verbundenen Augen von einem Wildfremden «benutzen» lassen …
