Summary:
In this book, Nicholas P. Money tells the utterly fascinating story of mushrooms and the ways we have interacted with these fungi throughout history. Whether they have populated the landscapes of fairytales, lent splendid umami to our dishes, or steered us into deep hallucinations, mushrooms have affected humanity from the earliest beginnings of our species. As Money explains, mushrooms are not self-contained organisms like animals and plants. Rather, they are the fruiting bodies of large—sometimes extremely large—colonies of mycelial threads that spread underground and permeate rotting vegetation. Because these colonies decompose organic matter, they are of extraordinary ecological value and have a huge effect on the health of the environment. This book takes us on a tour of the cultural and scientific importance of mushrooms, from the enchanted forests of folklore to the role of these fungi in sustaining life on earth.

Summary:
Salmon is usually thought of as pink. The colour is even called ‘salmon pink’. However, farmed salmon today would be grey. To make them the expected colour, synthetic pigments are added to their feed. Salmon are farmed in open nets, whose runoff has a severe impact on wild salmon populations, as well as on the seabed of the west coast of Scotland at large. Salmon is the(...)

Salmon is usually thought of as pink. The colour is even called ‘salmon pink’. However, farmed salmon today would be grey. To make them the expected colour, synthetic pigments are added to their feed. Salmon are farmed in open nets, whose runoff has a severe impact on wild salmon populations, as well as on the seabed of the west coast of Scotland at large. Salmon is the colour of a wild fish which is neither wild, nor fish, nor even salmon. The changing colours of species around the planet are warning signs of an environmental crisis. Many of these alterations result from humans and animals ingesting and absorbing synthetic substances. Changes in flesh, scales, feathers, skin, leaves or wings give us clues to environmental and metabolic transformations around us and inside us. Continuing our work on the Isle of Skye, this project questions what colours we expect in our ‘natural’ environment. It asks us to examine how our perception of colour is changing as much as we are changing the planet.

Summary:
Food for the City offers 13 visions from experts across the world: a politician, an activist, an economist, a philosopher, a chef, an architect and a farmer, among others. From the visionary to the practical, their essays and proposals examine the influence food can have on the culture, shape and functioning of the city, addressing issues of urban farming and laboratory engineering, and weighing the choices to be made between altering our food production systems or our consumption patterns. The book comes with a timeline from 2050 BCE to 2050 CE and a rich pictorial essay that demonstrates how feeding a city has been a preoccupation as old as the city itself.

Si les champs d'application du design n'ont cessé de s'étendre depuis son invention, il aura fallu attendre le XXIe siècle pour que les designers s'intéressent de près au domaine de la cuisine. Pourtant, lié aussi bien à l'artisanat qu'à l'industrie, l'économie et la science, le design culinaire a légitimement sa place parmi les nombreuses formes de design. Bien évidemment, son ambition n'est pas de se substituer à l'art de la gastronomie, mais de s'ouvrir à une complémentarité pertinente. Cette nouvelle branche du design convoque en effet tous les sens à sa table : si le gustatif a la place d'honneur, le design culinaire suscite aussi d'autres questionnements, visant à exprimer des intentions, des références ou des émotions, sans pour autant intellectualiser te message. Coécrit par Stéphane Bureaux, l'un des pionniers du design culinaire, et Cécile Cau, journaliste spécialisée en gastronomie, cet ouvrage très richement illustré dresse un large panorama de cette jeune discipline, en France et à l'étranger. Décomposé en douze chapitres qui sont autant de lectures possibles de ce récent terrain d'investigation, il met en évidence les connivences étroites existant entre le design culinaire et les grands chefs (Ferran Adrià, Heston Blumenthal, Thierry Marx, Pierre Hermé...), la science (Hervé This), les arts de la table, ou même l'humour.
