Book Excerpt: 
. . .I shall conclude this preface in theviii words of a great author: As this science contains the sum of all human policy, and as there is no passage thro' the world without sometimes mixing with fools and knaves; who would not chuse to be master of the ænigmatical art, in order, on proper occasions, to be able to lead aside craft and impertinence from their aim, by the convenient artifice of a prudent disguise?

A
New RIDDLE BOOK. While young I'm as gay as the maidens in May,
And when dress'd in my holiday cloaths,
2 Am the joy of the swains, and the pride of the plains,
And may vie with the belles and the beaux.
But my time's of short date, and so hard is my fate,
That when to full stature I'm grown,
I'm cut down by the lout, toss'd and tumbled about,
Till no signs of life can be shown.

Yemek yeme sanatı ve zevkini yiyeceklerle evrimsel ilişkimiz uzerinden okumuş bu kitap yemege farklı bir bakış getirmiş. Bizi biz yapan cok şey var ama bunlardan biri de bence yemeğin zihnimizde, kültürümüzde tuttuğu yerin doymaktan bambaşka bir anlamda oluşu.

Beslenme ve yiyecek kültürümüzün geçmişten günümüze kadar bizi ve beynimizi nasıl etkilemiş olabileceği üzerine evrimsel bir bakış. İki taraflı bir dönüşüm mevcut. Bizim vasıtamızla dönüşen ve evrilen yiyecekler, bir de yiyeceklerin vasıtasıyla dönüşen primat türü. Bu konuya dair ilgisi olanlara tav

Way too broad. If the author cut out everything that wasn't related to food, the book could be cut by at lest 1/3.

Toplam 8 bölümden oluşan kitap, ilk 2 bölümde beyin-yiyecek ilişkisi üzerinde dururken kalan kısımlarda ‘yiyeceklerle ilşkimizin evrimi’nden ‘beynimizi tanıyalım’ kitabına dönüşerek beklentilerin oldukça altında kalıyor ne yaık ki.

Bu kitapla birlikte, bu tarz kitaplarin Turkce ceviriden okunmamasi gerektigine emin oldum. Ayni seyi Etin Cinsel Politikasi isimli kitapta da yasamistim ve maalesef bitiremeden yarida birakmistim. Onun disinda fena olmayan ve bazi ilginc bilgilerle dolu bir kitap. Yalniz beyin ve bilissel ozellikle

From the publisher's description, I expected this to be more an anthropology type work...in fact, it was heavy on the neuroscience, and food was the hook the author used to draw me in and expound on various aspects of how our brain works and what that means/has meant for us as humans.

Elimde bu kadar uzun durmasından anlaşılacağı üzere, beklentimin çoook altında kaldı. Gerçekten karmaşık, fazla uzatılmış bir kitap imiş. Hoşuma giden tek kısım, Crispy kısmı ve “Yiyecek Kuramı” bölümü oldu. Diyet yaparken, anadilinizi bırakıp tamamen farklı bir dilde konuşmaya çalışırsınız temelind

Eating is far beyond a physiological need of ours. John Allen, with the reference of countless researchers and scientists from various fields, presents the place of eating and food in our bodies and in our minds. It is a good enough review to read, in general. I was expecting to find eating as one o

Very technical neurology book with fascinating lessons for food media and culinary experience designers. And a fascinating look at the brain through the lens of food.
