Veteran traveler and textile expert Chris Aslan explores the Silk, Wool and Cotton Roads of Central Asia. Three textile roads tangle their way through Central Asia. The famous Silk Road united east and west through trade. Older still was the Wool Road, of critical importance when houses made from wool enabled nomads to traverse the inhospitable winter steppes. Then there was the Cotton Road, marked by greed, colonialism and environmental disaster. At this intersection of human history, fortunes were made and lost through shimmering silks, life-giving felts and gossamer cottons. Chris Aslan, who has spent fifteen years living and working in the region, expertly unravels the strands of this tangled history and embroiders them with his own experiences of life in the heart of Asia.

Die Geschichte der Orangerien und Gewächshäuser in der Schweiz ist geprägt von der Vielgestaltigkeit der eigenen botanischen und kulturellen Landschaften sowie den unterschiedlichen politischen und kulturellen Einflüssen der angrenzenden Länder. Höfisches Repräsentationsbedürfnis, botanisches Forschungs- und Sammlungsinteresse und humanistische Bildungsideale führten bereits im späten 16. Jahrhundert zu ersten Sammlungen von Zitruspflanzen. Für sie wurden spezifische Überwinterungsbauten in zunehmend architektonischer und konstruktiv-innovativer Vielgestaltigkeit errichtet.Der Band präsentiert eine gartenkulturelle Entwicklungsgeschichte von Pflanzenhäusern aus dem Umfeld der Klöster, botanischen Gärten und patrizischen Herrschaftssitzen sowie aus dem Besitz der im 18. Jahrhundert einflussreichen Kaufleute bis zu den um 1900 reüssierenden Bankiers und Industriellen. Der umfassenden Dokumentation von 75 Orangerien und Gewächshäusern ist eine Geschichte der Orangeriekultur des Landes vorangestellt, in der Schweizer Besonderheiten des Sammler-Habitus, der Gartenliteratur, des Pflanzenhandels und der ikonografischen Einflüsse in Kunst und Kunstgewerbe dargelegt werden.

In the lush landscapes where tropical climates thrive, the jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus) stands tall, its branches laden with the world's largest fruit. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" captures the fascinating journey of this versatile and nutritious marvel, from its humble beginnings as a seed to gracing tables around the globe. The story begins with the seed-a small, unassuming package harboring the potential for an arboreal giant. Nestled in fertile soil, the jackfruit seed germinates, sending forth a shoot that gradually transforms into a robust sapling. The young tree, under the embrace of sunlight and nourishing rains, embarks on a journey of growth, reaching heights of up to 80 feet. Its expansive canopy provides shelter to an array of creatures while signaling the promise of a bountiful harvest. As the jackfruit tree matures, it sets the stage for the emergence of flowers-tiny, inconspicuous blossoms that hold the secret to the tree's fecundity. In nature's dance, these flowers release pollen, inviting the intervention of wind or pollinators. The successful fertilization of these flowers marks the beginning of the jackfruit's transformation from mere potential to tangible fruition. With the promise of fruit, the tree dedicates its resources to nurturing the young jackfruits. Initially, these small, green orbs are inconspicuous, almost camouflaged among the leaves. As they grow, their spiky exteriors shield the sweet, fibrous flesh within. Patiently, the jackfruit swells, drawing sustenance from the soil and the sun, until it reaches a formidable size-sometimes weighing up to 80 pounds. The ripening process is a spectacle in itself. The once green and knobbly exterior metamorphoses into a vibrant, yellow hue, signaling the jackfruit's readiness for harvest. The air becomes infused with a sweet aroma, beckoning farmers and enthusiasts alike to partake in the harvest. Harvesting the jackfruit is an art, requiring skill to navigate the tree's towering height and dexterity to cut through its resilient stem. Once harvested, the jackfruit unveils its treasure trove of golden bulbs, each encapsulating a unique blend of sweetness and mildness. From the seeds to the fleshy pods, every part of the jackfruit carries the potential to be transformed into delectable dishes. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" encapsulates not just the botanical journey of this remarkable fruit but also its culinary significance. A culinary chameleon, the jackfruit adapts to myriad recipes, taking on savory or sweet notes with equal finesse. From curries to sandwiches, tacos to desserts, the jackfruit's versatility knows no bounds, offering a delectable experience for those willing to explore its culinary landscape. In the hands of skilled chefs and home cooks alike, the journey of the jackfruit-from seed to supper-culminates in a delightful feast. Each mouthful is a testament to the intricate dance of nature, the perseverance of the jackfruit tree, and the culinary creativity inspired by this tropical giant. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" invites us to savor not just the fruit's succulence but the rich tapestry of stories woven into every bite.
