Die Wurst ist eines der ersten vom Menschen aktiv gestalteten Lebensmittel: Sie wurde vor über 5000 Jahren entwickelt, um in Zeiten des Mangels das Maximum aus tierischen Proteinen herauszuholen. Bist heute ist sie ein wichtiger Bestandteil unserer Esskultur. Allein in England gibt es über 470 verschiedene Arten von Würsten, die zum Frühstück serviert werden! Und in Deutschland definieren Gesetze die Machart von Würsten.Gemäss der Ernährungs- und Landwirtschaftsorganisation der Vereinten Nationen droht der Menschheit zurzeit ein akuter Mangel an proteinreicher Nahrung. Insbesondere Fleisch wird immer knapper. Ein Grund dafür ist der übermässige Verzehr von tierischen Produkten. Kann die Wurst eine Lösung bieten, um den globalen Fleischkonsum zu reduzieren? Zum Beispiel, indem das Fleisch in der Wurst durch andere, ebenso proteinreiche Nahrungsmittel ersetzt wird?Um diese Fragen zu beantworten, haben ein Molekularkoch, ein Metzger und eine Designerin die Produktionsweise von Würsten sowie mögliche neue Zutaten - wie Insekten, Nüsse und Hülsenfrüchte - unter die Lupe genommen und eine «Wurst der Zukunft» entwickelt. In diesem Buch nehmen sie uns mit auf eine Reise durch die einzelnen Bausteine der Wurst. Sie untersuchen Aspekte wie Konsistenz und Geschmack, katalogisieren verschiedene Wurstarten und untersuchen neue Bestandteile auf ihre Wursttauglichkeit.

The Bhagavad-Gita, interpreted by Annie Wood Besant, presents a profound and enlightening perspective on this timeless Hindu scripture. In her interpretation of The Bhagavad-Gita, Annie Wood Besant offers a unique and deeply insightful exploration of one of Hinduism's most revered texts. Her work illuminates the Gita's profound philosophical and spiritual teachings, making them accessible to a broader audience. Besant begins by setting the stage for the Gita's dialogue, providing context within the epic Mahabharata, where this sacred conversation takes place. Her analysis delves into the conversation between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, unraveling its symbolic and metaphysical layers. Besant's interpretation brings forth the Gita's themes of duty, righteousness, and the nature of reality, which are as relevant today as they were millennia ago. Central to Besant's commentary is the concept of dharma (righteous duty) and how it applies to the spiritual and everyday lives of individuals. She elucidates Krishna's teachings on various paths to spiritual liberation - including devotion, knowledge, and selfless action - highlighting their universal relevance. Her insights provide readers with a deeper understanding of the Gita's guidance on living a balanced, ethical, and spiritually enriched life. Besant also delves into the Gita's teachings on the nature of the self, the universe, and the divine. Her interpretation is not just scholarly but also deeply spiritual, reflecting her own Theosophical views. She presents the Gita as a guide for spiritual evolution, emphasizing its significance in the journey towards self-realization and unity with the divine. The Bhagavad-Gita by Annie Wood Besant is more than just a translation; it is a profound interpretation that offers a deeper understanding of this sacred text. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Hindu philosophy, spiritual growth, or the study of religious texts. Besant's work invites readers into the heart of the Gita's timeless wisdom, revealing its enduring power to inspire and transform.

Star Wars is one of the most important cultural phenomena of the Western world. The tale of Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and the fall and redemption of Anakin Skywalker has become modern myth, an epic tragedy of the corruption of a young man in love into darkness, the rise of evil, and the power of good triumphing in the end.But it didn't start out that way.In this thorough account of one of cinema's most lasting works, Michael Kaminski presents the true history of how Star Wars was written, from its beginnings as a science fiction fairy tale to its development over three decades into the epic we now know, chronicling the methods, techniques, thought processes, and struggles of its creator. For this unauthorized account, he has pored through over four hundred sources, from interviews to original scripts, to track how the most powerful modern epic in the world was created, expanded, and finalized into the tale an entire generation has grown up with.
