“Deft and era-spanning . . . Uta Seeburg compresses a vast culinary history into a collection that’s equal parts lively and illuminating.” — Mayukh Sen, author of Taste Makers What foods did ancient Egyptians think worthy of accompanying pharaohs into the afterlife? How could canned meat have doomed the 1845 Franklin expedition? Why did a king have to order his subjects to eat potatoes? Why did a sixteenth-century cookbook author argue that beavers should be considered fish? A revelatory romp through the history of humanity, this collection of fifty snackable essays answers all of these baffling culinary enigmas and more. Packed to the brim with juicy tidbits and cultural insights, How Would You Like Your Mammoth? is a fascinating look at how the food we eat defines us – and always has.
George Miller made his first film, Mad Max, in 1976 after raising $300,000 from family and friends and hiring a no-name actor, Mel Gibson. Edited in his kitchen, it would become the most profitable film ever made, a position it held for over two decades.Miller and Max is the story of two heroes. One, a leather jacket-clad road warrior whose adventures in a dystopian future have made an indelible imprint on global popular culture. The second, the artist who created him: a softly spoken son of Greek and Turkish immigrants, whose life charts a spectacular course from small-town Australia to the highest echelons of Hollywood. Featuring contributions from cast, crew and family, Miller and Max is a revelatory biography of a piece of film history.

This book reconstructs the worldview of a Lutheran merchant from the city of Augsburg in the seventeenth century. Miller's is a singular story. Though he lived through some of the great events of his age, he scarcely mentioned them. Though he was raised in the standard values of his age, he understood and applied them idiosyncratically. This is the story of one man's experience and perception based on his memoir and associated documents. Yet, despite its individual focus, the book explores universal institutions of early modern Europe: patriarchy, hierarchy, honor, community, and confession.
