Author: Eric LeMay File Type: epub Is there a food more delightful, ubiquitous, or accessible than cheese? This book is a charming and engaging love letter to the food that Clifton Fadiman once called milks leap toward immortality Examining some cheeses we know as well as some we dont, the processes, places, and people who make them, and the way cheeses taste us as much as we taste them, each chapter takes up a singular and exciting aspect of cheese Why do we relish cheese? What facts does a cheese lover need to know? How did cheese lead to cheesiness? Whats the ideal way to eat cheese in Paris, Italy, and Wisconsin? Why does cheese comfort us, even when it reeks? Finally, what pairs well with which cheeses? Eric LeMay brings us as near as Formaggio Kitchen in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and as far as the Slow Food International Cheese Festival in Bra, Italy. In the witty, inventive, and wise company of his best girl Chuck, he endures surly fromagers in Paris and dodges pissing goats in Vermont, a hurricane in Cambridge, and a dispiriting sense of hippie optimism in San Francisco looks into curd and up at the cosmos and even dons secondhand polyester to fathom Americas 1970s fondue fad. The result is a plucky and pithy tour through everything worth knowing about cheese.**From Publishers WeeklyEven readers who dont know their comte from their Kraft Single may find cheese enthusiast Eric LeMays poetic if melodramatic coverage as rich and unctuous as the subject itself. A former Harvard writing instructor with an MFA, LeMay embarks on a quest to learn more about cheese - how its made, who makes it, and why its so delicious. Taking both the high road (an elegant vacherin) and the low (cheese curds), his egalitarian approach brings welcome relief to an arena known for snobbery. But LeMays penchant for purple prose irritates as much as it informs his gift for poetic description is the next best thing to tasting the cheese itself, BUT his literary pretensions can get the best of him (The curds have no heft, only a tingle of softness, like youve lathed your hand in the warm breath under Salomes veils). If readers can get past LeMays preoccupation with Proust, theyll find his linguistic gymnastics and narrative detours (the origin of the term cheesy the science behind taste charming accounts of halting conversations with fromagers in their native French) to be a warm, even gooey, appreciation of a much-loved and often misunderstood food.

Author: Matthias Doepke File Type: pdf An international and historical look at how parenting choices change in the face of economic inequality Parents everywhere want their children to be happy and do well. Yet how parents seek to achieve this ambition varies enormously. For instance, American and Chinese parents are increasingly authoritative and authoritarian, whereas Scandinavian parents tend to be more permissive. Why? Love, Money, and Parenting investigates how economic forces and growing inequality shape how parents raise their children. From medieval times to the present, and from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Sweden to China and Japan, Matthias Doepke and Fabrizio Zilibotti look at how economic incentives and constraintssuch as money, knowledge, and timeinfluence parenting practices and what is considered good parenting in different countries. Through personal anecdotes and original research, Doepke and Zilibotti show that in countries with increasing economic inequality, such as the United States, parents push harder to ensure their children have a path to security and success. Economics has transformed the hands-off parenting of the 1960s and 70s into a frantic, overscheduled activity. Growing inequality has also resulted in an increasing parenting gap between richer and poorer families, raising the disturbing prospect of diminished social mobility and fewer opportunities for children from disadvantaged backgrounds. In nations with less economic inequality, such as Sweden, the stakes are less high, and social mobility is not under threat. Doepke and Zilibotti discuss how investments in early childhood development and the design of education systems factor into the parenting equation, and how economics can help shape policies that will contribute to the ideal of equal opportunity for all. Love, Money, and Parenting presents an engrossing look at the economics of the family in the modern world. **Review Psychologists, sociologists and journalists have spent more than a decade diagnosing and critiquing the habits of helicopter parents and their school obsessions. . . . But new research shows that in our unequal era, this kind of parenting is essential. Thats the message of the book Love, Money and Parenting How Economics Explains the Way We Raise Our Kids, by the economists Matthias Doepke of Northwestern University and Fabrizio Zilibotti of Yale. Its true that high-octane, hardworking child-rearing has some pointless excesses, and it doesnt spark joy for parents. But done right, it works for kids, not just in the United States but in rich countries around the world.---Pamela Druckerman, *New York Times* An incisive look at parenting and economic inequality.---Carolyn Dever, *Public Books* Love, Money, and Parenting presents a fascinating, insightful analysis of the origins and consequences of different parenting styles over time and place. Doepke and Zilibotti explain how and why parents shape child preferences and skills to adapt their offspring to the anticipated social and economic realities facing them as adults. The authors creatively use basic economic theory to integrate and interpret a vast body of evidence from multiple disciplines. This ambitious, well-argued book carefully examines how families influence the social and economic fortunes of their children.James J. Heckman, Nobel Laureate in Economics Economics is usually the last thing on peoples minds when they think about parenting. This wonderfully readable and original book aims to change that. It shows how different parenting styles are all about trade-offs, how they shape the way children explore and experiment with the world and take risks, and how economic factors have played an important role in the striking changes we have experienced in the way parents think about their children and parent them. A must-read.Daron Acemoglu, coauthor of *Why Nations Fail* In their stimulating account of the reasons behind different parenting practices, Doepke and Zilibotti unashamedly argue for an economic interpretation, while also including social and cultural factors. Worryingly, the authors show how emerging societal divisions could enable some parents to promote their children even as they disable the efforts of parents in more difficult economic circumstances. Parenting regimes by class threaten equal opportunities, social mobility, and political participation. The authors hope is that thoughtful policy interventions can head off such threats. Jane Humphries, author of *Childhood and Child Labour in the British Industrial Revolution* Presenting many key findings and novel explanations, Love, Money, and Parenting argues that we can use economic principles to explain why different parenting styles exist across different countries and within countries at any given point in time. At once intelligent, sophisticated, and accessible, there is no other book that tackles the same themes as this one. I really enjoyed reading it.Nattavudh Powdthavee, author of *The Happiness Equation * Bringing together personal experiences, reasoning, and evidence, this fascinating and persuasive book shows that parenting decisions are governed by incentives and an economic approach can help us to understand why parents choices might vary across countries and over time. The wealth of information, detail, and strength of economic argument is impressive.Jo Blanden, coauthor of *The Persistence of Poverty across Generations* About the Author Matthias Doepke is professor of economics at Northwestern University. He lives in Evanston, Illinois.
