Most food found on supermarket shelves exists because consumer research has proven that the product will be in demand once it is made available by the food industry.This book strives to shed light on the aspects of our everyday sustenance that we normally don’t think about; above all the problematic consumer unawareness of foods’ nu­tritional value – and the technology behind industrially grown, raised and manu­factured fruits, vegetables, meat, milk, eggs, processed and fast food.Our ancestors created and secured modern food production through hard work; this occurred over a couple of million years in three leaps:- Meat Cooking (1,8 million years ago)- Agriculture Society (10.000 years ago)- Industrial Specialization (300 years ago)Now, we are at the frontier of a new era of future-food, driven by the need to feed nine billion people. But there are risks, as well as rewards, we must be conscious of as we move toward these new kinds of food.Among the key question we must consider: Is your body ready for these new sources of nutrition, or might you thrive even better with the foods you are already accus­tomed to?Reading this book will reward you with a new chance to make the right choices during shopping trips to your store or on the internet – in the food jungle.The book unfolds and presents for you a map of the conditions underlying our modern food supply, to help guide you safely in navigating the food jungle and increase your feeling of responsibility for your food intake. It will make you a better shopper and consumer; and empower you to leverage your newfound knowledge in helping drive the food industry toward manufacturing the healthiest foods possible for your body.

In this pioneering musicological study the Danish emeritus professor Finn Egeland Hansen proposes that the classical-romantic main current of the 19th century in fact represents two sub-currents, the one focusing on the romantic aspects, the other focusing on the classical aspects of its musical style. His thesis is discussed with excerpts from the standard musicological literature plus writings by Saint-Saëns, and Finn Egeland Hansen exemplifies his argument in readings of the music by three stylistically different composers – the French Camille Saint-Saëns and Charles Gounod and the Danish Niels W. Gade. Finn Egeland Hansen labels these harbingers’ style as retro-classicism.

"Tatiana Chemi's book is consistent in its argumentation and comprehensive in regards to the subject it deals with. It results in an original contribution, as it brings together the different aspects of the "comic experience" Samuel Beckett had, discussing them at the different stages of his literary, dramatic, and cinematographic production." -- Giancario Alfano, Associate Professor in Literature, Second University of Napoli, Italy
