Global Dishes

Favorite Meals from around the World

CARYN E. NEUMANN, LORI L. PARKS, AND JOEL G. PARKS

Food is a great unifier. It is used to mark milestones or rites of passage. It is integral to the way we celebrate, connecting a familial and cultural past to the present through tradition. It bolsters the ill and soothes those in mourning. The dishes in this text are those that have come to be known within a part of the world and culture, but also have moved beyond those borders and are accessible and enjoyed by many in our ever-smaller and moreinterconnected world.

Featuring more than 100 recipes and detailed discussions of dishes from across the globe, Global Dishes: Favorite Meals from Around the World explores the history and cultural context surrounding some of the best-known and favorite foods. The book covers national dishes from more than 100 countries, including large nations like Mexico and small countries like Macao. There is also coverage of foods beloved by indigenous peoples, such as the Sami of Scandinavia. Traditional favorites are offered as well as newer dishes.

The History of Ukraine

2ND EDITION | PAUL KUBICEK

The Russia-Ukraine war that began in 2022 turned the world's attention on Ukraine, the second-largest country in Europe and one of the leading global exporters of wheat and other valuable commodities. Though some Russian leaders have long denied and continue to reject Ukrainian sovereignty, this book presents a comprehensive picture of Ukraine that is both intertwined with and distinct from Russian history. From its days as Kyivan Rus and its inclusion in the Russian Empire to the fall of the Soviet Union, the Euromaidan demonstrations, and the outbreak of war with Russia, Ukraine, as this book demonstrates, has developed its own identity, territory, and culture. With an up-to-date timeline of events, short biographies of contemporary and historical figures, and a useful annotated bibliography, this book unpacks the historical claims and issues relevant to the conflict with Russia and provides an accessible introduction to Ukraine and its peoples.

FEATURES

• Gives an up-to-date and comprehensive history of Ukraine • New edition includes detailed coverage of Euromaidan and the Russia-Ukraine war • Provides a useful timeline and annotated bibliography of Ukrainian history • Provides short biographies of important contemporary and historical Ukrainians
