Restoring Heritage Grains : The Culture, Biodiversity, Resilience, and Cuisine of Ancient Wheats
Including recipes for baking with EinkornWheat is the most widely grown crop on our planet, yet industrial breeders have transformed this ancient staff of life into a commodity of yield and profit—witness the increase in gluten intolerance and 'wheat belly’. Modern wheat depends on synthetic fertilizer and herbicides that damage our health, land, water, and environment.Fortunately, heritage ‘landrace' wheats that evolved over millennia in the organic fields of traditional farms do not need bio-chemical intervention to yield bountifully, are gluten-safe, have rich flavor and high nutrition.Yet the robust, majestic wheats that nourished our ancestors are on the verge of extinction. In Restoring Heritage Grains, author Eli Rogosa of the Heritage Grain Conservancy, invites readers to restore forgotten wheats such as delicious gluten-safe einkorn that nourished the first Neolithic farmers, emmer—the grain of ancient Israel, Egypt, and Rome that is perfect for pasta and flatbreads, rare durums that are drought-tolerant and high in protein, and many more little known wheat species, each of which have a lineage intertwined with the human species and that taste better than any modern wheat. Restoring Heritage Grains combines the history of grain growing and society, in-depth practical advice on landrace wheat husbandry, wheat folk traditions and mythology, and guidelines for the Neolithic diet with traditional recipes for rustic bread, pastry and beer.Discover the ancient grains that may be one of the best solutions to hunger today, and provide resilience for our future.

Authenticity in North America : Place, Tourism, Heritage, Culture and the Popular Imagination
This interdisciplinary book addresses the highly relevant debates about authenticity in North America, providing a contemporary re-examination of American culture, tourism and commodification of place.Blending social sciences and humanities research skills, it formulates an examination of the geography of authenticity in North America, and brings together studies of both rurality and urbanity across the country, exposing the many commonalities of these different landscapes.Relph stated that nostalgic places are inauthentic, yet within this work several chapters explore how festivals and visitor attractions, which cultivate place heritage appeal, are authenticated by tourists and communities, creating a shared sense of belonging.In a world of hyperreal simulacra, post-truth and fake news, this book bucks the trend by demonstrating that authenticity can be found everywhere: in a mouthful of food, in a few bars of a Beach Boys song, in a statue of a troll, in a diffuse magical atmosphere, in the weirdness of the ungentrified streets.Written by a range of leading experts, this book offers a contemporary view of American authenticity, tourism, identity and culture.It will be of great interest to upper-level students, researchers and academics in Tourism, Geography, History, Cultural Studies, American Studies and Film Studies.

What are optical devices?
Optical devices are instruments that use light and lenses to manipulate and control the behavior of light. They are used to create, detect, or manipulate images, as well as to measure and analyze light. Examples of optical devices include cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and fiber optics. These devices are essential in various fields such as photography, medicine, astronomy, and telecommunications.

What is optical beauty?
Optical beauty refers to the aesthetic appeal of visual stimuli, such as art, design, or natural landscapes, that is perceived through the sense of sight. It encompasses the visual harmony, balance, and pleasing qualities of an object or scene that evoke a sense of admiration and pleasure in the viewer. Optical beauty can be found in various forms, including color combinations, symmetry, proportion, and visual patterns, and it often plays a significant role in influencing human emotions and perceptions.

What is the difference between an optical in and an optical out connection?
An optical in connection, also known as TOSLINK or SPDIF, is used to input an optical digital audio signal into a device, such as a soundbar or receiver. This allows the device to receive and process the audio signal from an external source, such as a Blu-ray player or gaming console. On the other hand, an optical out connection is used to output an optical digital audio signal from a device to another external device, such as a soundbar or amplifier. This allows the device to send the audio signal to another device for playback or further processing. In summary, an optical in connection receives an audio signal, while an optical out connection sends an audio signal.
-
Are optical illusions physically explainable?
Yes, optical illusions are physically explainable. They occur when our brain interprets visual information in a way that does not match the physical reality of the stimulus. This can happen due to the way our eyes perceive light and color, or how our brain processes and interprets visual information. Scientists and researchers have been able to study and explain many optical illusions through understanding the mechanisms of human vision and perception.

How are optical cables connected?
Optical cables are connected using a process called splicing. This involves carefully aligning the two cable ends and fusing them together using heat. Another method is using connectors, where the cable ends are terminated with a connector that can be easily plugged into a compatible port. Both methods ensure that the optical fibers are aligned properly to allow for the transmission of light signals with minimal loss.

What is the optical input?
The optical input, also known as TOSLINK or S/PDIF, is a type of digital audio connection that uses fiber optic cables to transmit audio signals. It is commonly found on audio equipment such as home theater systems, soundbars, and audio receivers. The optical input allows for high-quality, lossless transmission of audio signals, making it ideal for connecting devices that support digital audio output. This type of connection is popular for its ability to deliver clear and accurate sound without interference or degradation.
