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.

How is a parabola created from the standard parabola?
A standard parabola is created from the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. The graph of this equation is a U-shaped curve that opens either upwards or downwards, depending on the value of a. By varying the values of a, b, and c, the position and orientation of the parabola can be adjusted. For example, changing the value of a will stretch or compress the parabola, while changing the value of c will shift the parabola up or down. Overall, the standard parabola can be transformed and repositioned to create a variety of parabolas with different shapes and positions.

What is the difference between a parabola and a standard parabola?
A parabola is a type of curve that is defined by the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. A standard parabola is a specific type of parabola that is symmetric with respect to its axis of symmetry, which is the vertical line that passes through the vertex of the parabola. The equation of a standard parabola is y = x^2, which has its vertex at the origin (0,0) and opens upwards. Other parabolas can be shifted, stretched, or compressed in various ways, but a standard parabola is the simplest and most basic form of a parabola.

Search for a parabola.
A parabola is a type of curve that is U-shaped and is defined by the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c. To search for a parabola, you can look for examples in real life, such as the path of a thrown object, the shape of a satellite dish, or the trajectory of a rocket. You can also search for parabolas in mathematical graphs, where they are represented as symmetrical curves with a vertex at the minimum or maximum point. Additionally, you can use online resources or graphing software to visualize and explore different parabolas.

What is a standard parabola?
A standard parabola is a U-shaped curve that is symmetrical around its axis of symmetry. It is represented by the equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. The vertex of a standard parabola is the point where the curve changes direction, and the axis of symmetry is a vertical line passing through the vertex. The direction of the parabola opening (upward or downward) is determined by the sign of the coefficient a.

Sustainable Marketing of Transformative Heritage Tourism
This book proposes that sustainable marketing should be founded on a higher level of consciousness, governed by the Eastern ethical principles of dharma and karma.It suggests a socially responsible, integrated marketing strategy to boost transformational heritage tourism. The book puts forward a framework to promote and inspire transformative heritage tourism from a sustainable marketing perspective.Drawing on examples from different parts of the world such as Thailand, China, the USA, India, Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Hong Kong, it takes a unique approach by integrating elements associated with distributive justice, procedural justice, morally motivated existentialist authentic experiences and the well-being of visited and visiting environments.The book pivots on the planning and marketing of heritage of communities such as local, descendent and indigenous across eight broad themes: (1) promotion and sustainable branding of heritage tourism; (2) empowerment of indigenous communities; (3) authenticity and conservation of heritage; (4) safeguarding of art, culture and cultural landscapes; (5) economic viability for the host communities; (6) interpretation and resolution of dissonant heritage representations; (7) stimulating audience engagement and co-created mindful spaces and; (8) facilitating moral consciousness and stimulating lasting inner transformation in guests and hosts.Scholars can replicate and/or test the proposed guided sustainable marketing model, referred to as the transformative heritage tourism pathway, which is adapted from a) the needs, activities and well-being sequential path of transformation and, b) the socially responsible sustainable marketing doctrine guided by the principles of 'dharma' and 'karma'.This book is unique as it stresses eudaimonia as the ultimate goal of well-being and argues that its pursuit can steer the sustained transformation route toward a higher sense of consciousness and responsible production and consumption of heritage resources. In summary, this book contributes toward advancing the dialogue on sustainable marketing and transformative heritage tourism.It will appeal to researchers, undergraduates and practitioners interested in sustainable marketing, transformative heritage tourism and social, ecological, cultural and economic welfare of visited and visiting destinations.

Western Front: Landscape, Tourism and Heritage
The Western Front has become, once again, and after 100 years, an important and increasingly popular tourist destination.The Centenary is already encouraging large numbers of visitors to engage with this highly poignant landscape of war and to commemorate the sacrifice and loss of a previous generation.Interest is also being sharpened in the 'places of war' as battle-sites, trench-systems, bunkers and mine craters gain a clearer identity as war heritage.For the first time this book brings together the three strands of heritage, landscape and tourism to provide a fresh understanding of the multi-layered nature of the Western Front.The book approaches the area as a rich dynamic landscape which can be viewed in a startling variety of ways: historically, materially, culturally, and perceptually.To illustrate these two dominant interpretations of the region's landscape - commemorative and heritage - are highlighted and their relationship to tourism explored.Tourism is a lens through which these layers can be peeled away, and each understood and interacted with according to the individual's own knowledge, motivation, and degree of emotional engagement.Tourism is not regarded here as a passive phenomenon, but as an active agent that can determine, dictate and inscribe this evocative landscape. The Western Front: Heritage, Landscape and Tourism is a timely addition to our increasing interest in the First World War and the places where it was fought.It will be indispensable to those who seek a deeper understanding of the conflict from previously undervalued perspectives.

Resilience, Authenticity and Digital Heritage Tourism
This book examines the authentication of authenticity in heritage tourism by using a resilient smart systems approach.It discusses the emerging trends in cultural tourism and outlines, in a detailed manner, their significance in negotiating authenticity in tourism experience. Authentication of authenticity is an evolving, less-researched field of inquiry in heritage tourism.This book advances research on this subject by exploring different authentication processes and scrutinizes their resilience in building transformative heritage tourism pathways.It offers a kaleidoscopic view of the manner authenticity has evolved over the last several decades by observing a broad spectrum of cultural expressions.The evolution and meaningfulness of negotiated authenticity is identified and discussed in the context of pre-, intra- and post-pandemic times.This book focuses on the moral and existentialist trajectories or authenticity and the notion of self-authentication.It proposes a smart resilient authentication model to delicately negotiate the objective and self-dimensions of authenticity in transformative times.Furthermore, by sharing examples of best practices, it offers unique insights on how authenticity is authenticated and mediated via digital platforms and artificial intelligence. This book offers novel perspectives on negotiated authenticity and its authentication in heritage tourism and will appeal to both practitioners and students/scholars in Heritage studies; Design and Innovation; Tourism Studies; Geography and Planning across North America, Europe, and East-Asian countries.

Why is the parabola wrong?
The parabola is not inherently "wrong," but it can be misleading or inaccurate in certain contexts. For example, if a parabolic model is used to represent a relationship that is actually linear or exponential, it will not accurately reflect the true nature of the data. Additionally, parabolic models may not be appropriate for representing complex, multi-faceted relationships that cannot be adequately captured by a simple curve. It's important to carefully consider the appropriateness of using a parabola in any given situation and to be aware of its limitations.

What are normal parabola functions?
Normal parabola functions are quadratic functions in the form of y = ax^2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are constants. These functions graph as a symmetric U-shaped curve called a parabola. The vertex of the parabola is located at the point (h, k), where h = -b/2a and k = f(h). Normal parabola functions can open upwards or downwards depending on the sign of the coefficient a.
-
What is a parabola shift?
A parabola shift refers to the movement of a parabola on the coordinate plane. This movement can occur horizontally or vertically, and is typically caused by adding or subtracting values to the x or y terms in the equation of the parabola. A horizontal shift is represented by the term (x-h) and a vertical shift is represented by the term (y-k) in the equation. These shifts change the position of the parabola without altering its shape.

How does the parabola work?
A parabola is a U-shaped curve that is defined by a quadratic equation. It can open upwards or downwards depending on the coefficients of the equation. The vertex of the parabola is the point where it changes direction, and the axis of symmetry is a vertical line that passes through the vertex. The focus of the parabola is a point that lies on the axis of symmetry and is equidistant from the vertex and the directrix.
