Indigenous Food Sovereignty in the United States
Restoring Cultural Knowledge, Protecting Environments, and Regaining Health
Centuries of colonization and other factors have disrupted indigenous communities’ ability to control their own food systems. This volume explores the meaning and importance of food sovereignty for Native peoples in the United States, and asks whether and how it might be achieved and sustained.
Aldrovandi on Chickens
The Ornothology of Ulisse Aldrovandi (1600) Volume II Book XIV
Aldrovandi on Chickens, written in 1598, is the first English translation of any work by the Italian naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi. It exemplifies the spirit and the letter of Renaissance science—the former, in the extensive classical references; the latter, through careful examination of every process involved with the raising or use of chickens.
