Food and Culture: A Reader

Rented it for a class. The readings are interesting but many are several decades old, and therefore might not be as relevant as more recently-published articles on the same topics. Good diversity of topics, though. Some of the articles translated from French are quite a drag to get through but the rest are accessible and interesting.

I am currently reading all of the essays, but felt the need to point out to the editors that I have found an unusual amount of typographical errors throughout most of the essays in the collection. These are errors primarily of punctuation, but I have also noted missing or extra words, as well as hyphens in the middle of words that were probably line breaks in a former iteration. The effect is the sense that this edition was hastily assembled. Routledge should pay more attention to quality control before final printing. It is a disservice to the contributors to print their essays with needless errors.

Really great book that opens your eyes to the world of food and the way it really effects our lives

Semi new, all pages were clean, really good state!

A thoughtful and well written work that takes you on a journey which will make you question things we are taught and told while growing up. This book is a must read which will hold true for past present and future generations to come.

Great

Literally required for my class. It's fine. It's a textbook.

I bought the Food and Culture Book because it was a text book for a class that I was taking. But, I am going to keep the book and not resell it because it is very interesting.
