Summary:
Food expert and celebrated food historian Andrew F. Smith recounts the creation of contemporary American cuisine. The style of American cooking, along with the ingredients that compose it, has never been fixed. Smith's story opens with early America, an agriculturally independent nation where most citizens grew and consumed their own food. Over the next two hundred years, however, Americans would cultivate an entirely different approach to crops and consumption. Advances in food processing, transportation, regulation, nutrition, and science introduced highly complex and mechanized methods of production. Ultimately Smith claims how, by revisiting this history, we can reclaim the independent, locally sustainable roots of American food.

Summary:
"Science for everyone" is the motto of a new movement involving biology and electronics. Here the do-it-yourself approach that is already well-established on the electronics and computer scene is applied to the field of natural sciences, blurring the borderlines between art and science. The artists and scientists who work in the interdisciplinary way refer to themselves as bio-hackers or bio-punks and deliberately take up the creative impetus provided by those two movements. Their research aims to communicate scientific knowledge that is otherwise reserved for insiders only.
